The Axerve for FinDock package is not pushable, so we cannot automatically update your org with the normal release process. To receive updates, enhancements and fixes, you need to manually install the latest package version using the FinDock Installer.

Install and activate Axerve for FinDock

Follow the standard procedure for installing and activating the Axerve for Findock payment extension.

Check and assign the required permissions for FinDock and Axerve features. Ensure all package-specific permission sets are correctly assigned.

Configure Axerve for FinDock

To configure the Axerve payment extension:

  1. Launch the FinDock app and click Setup. You will see a red mark on the Remote Site Settings tab indicating that the remote site settings for Axerve are disabled.
  2. Open the Remote Site Settings tab and, depending on your org, activate the test or production endpoint of Axerve.
    • For testing: https://sandbox.gestpay.net
    • For production: https://ecomm.sella.it and https://ecommS2S.sella.it
  3. Click the Activate/Deactivate tab and then click the Payment Methods button next to the Axerve-for-Findock extension.
  4. Activate payment method CreditCard.
  5. IMPORTANT: Click the 'Deploy Config' button at the top right of the Setup screen. You should get a green 'All changes have been deployed' messages.
  6. Go back to Setup home page and click on the Axerve for Findock tile under Payment Extensions.
  7. Fill in Axerve for Findock settings and click Save. If you have enabled multi-merchant support in FinDock and have mulitple Axerve accounts, fill in the settings for each target (account):
    axerve_for_findock_settings
    • Notification URL: automatically filled by Notification Gateway
    • Shop Login: Shop Login is visible on the top right corner in the Test Account Backoffice (in our example: GESPAY75955).
    • Api Key: Api Key generated in the Test Account BackOffice (Configuration > Security) Axerve for FinDock API Key
    • Custom Checkout URL: If you have your own checkout page, you can enter the URL here to redirect customers to your page. This custom page needs to include the Axerve hidden iframe. For more information, visit the Axerve docs.
    • Log Requests: Check if you want to log the requests
    • Is Test: Activate if you are in a test phase and don’t want to process real payments.

Custom redirect options

With Axerve you can choose to either redirect customers to Axerve's default checkout page, or you can create your own custom page that includes a hidden Axerve iframe. This is the Custom Checkout URL setting noted above.

As part of the custom page option, you can choose to use the Custom Cehckout URL setting or you can parse the redirect URL that FinDock sends when your page calls the FinDock Payment API on certain Axerve variables.

The customized redirect flow is:

  1. You call the FinDock Payment API.
  2. The payment data is created in Salesforce and the API responsds with a RedirectURL.
  3. From this RedirectURL you parse the values for parameters ‘a’ (ShopLogin) and ‘b’ (encrypted transaction result).
  4. You pass values ‘a’ and ‘b’ into the Axerve GestPay.CreatePaymentPage method for your custom payment page where a = shopLogin and b = encryptedString.
  5. From here on you follow the instructions for the Axerve custom payment page (with ‘a’ and ‘b’ in the hidden iframe).
  6. Once the payment is completed, FinDock receives notifications based on the values for ‘a’ and ‘b’ and can reconcile the payment.

For further information, please refer to the Axerve documentation.

Test credit cards

For testing your Axerve setup, you can use test credit cards from here: https://docs.gestpay.it/rest/test/credit-cards/

Refresh expired credit cards

When a credit card expires, FinDock users can enter the new expiration date and check the Eligible for Token Refresh field to automatically refresh the token.

note

The Eligible for Token Refresh and Last Refresh Token Failure Reason fields need to be added to the Payment Profile layout manually.

The PaymentProfileTokenRefreshJob batch job processes all Payment Profiles eligible for Token Refresh and sends the token update request to Axerve SOAP API. The batch can be scheduled using the PaymentProfileTokenRefreshSchedule class. Refresh credit card token setting for Axerve payment extension

Bank Transaction ID

Recurring payments initiated after September 2020 include a new mandatory field, BankTransactionId which FinDock stores in the BankTransactionId field on the Mandate object. The ID code is sent from Axerve with the first transaction and must be included with all following transactions of the recurring payment in previousTransDetails.BankTransactionId.

Axerve MOTO

If you want to capture payments through Payment Schedules, with tokens acquired via MOTO channels, there are additional options on Mandate and Installment objects that you need to set to be able to process Axerve payments correctly through Payment Schedules. These include:

  • MOTO checkbox on Mandate object: if the Installment is a MOTO payment, this checkbox must be marked
  • Initial Payment checkbox on Installment object: if the installment is the first payment of a recurring payment, this checkbox must be marked

There is a Transaction Type formula field on the Installment object that determines the Axerve transaction type value as follows:

  • Null (empty): if the installment is a one-time payment, not recurring
  • Recurring First: if installment.initialpayment = true & mandate.moto = false
  • Recurring Next: if mandate.moto = false
  • MOTO: if mandate.moto = true

For handling the Axerve Transaction ID requirement, the formula field is not included in the call to Axerve if the MOTO checkbox is marked on the mandate for the installment.

Payment API messages

The following are example messages for single and recurrent payments using the Payment API.

note

When initiating payments through the API, additional processor-specific parameters can and/or need to be included for a particular payment method. You can check these parameters by calling the /PaymentMethods endpoint. For more information, please check out our API Reference Guide.

note

Axerve uses the SuccessURL and FailureURL from the Axerve setup for redirection, not from the API call. However, since this parameter is mandatory for all other PSPs, a value has to be passed in the API message.
