(Classic) Configuring a Salesforce Site

END-OF-LIFE ANNOUNCEMENT

This article describes a Salesforce site integration with the Classic Online Payment Experience and Payment API version 1. This will be decommissioned at the end of 2024. All Payment API integrations should migrate to version 2, the Enhanced Online Experience, by January 2025.

For several functions in FinDock a Salesforce Site configuration is required. To configure this site correctly, execute the steps below in order.

Open the site details by clicking on the name of the site you have just created, and then click Public Access Settings to setup the security for this site. A Salesforce Profile Details page will open.
