Gateways Settings
Gateways connect the system to online payment providers, so customer payments taken digitally are captured, tracked and ready to reconcile. Activating a gateway opens its own configuration page where you enter your merchant credentials.
Accessing Gateway Settings
Go to Banking > Settings > Gateways.
Available Gateway Plugins
Several major international and regional providers ship with the system. Which are useful depends on your country and the currencies you accept — a gateway that does not support your currency cannot settle into your account.
Managing Plugins
Each gateway carries an Activate link. Activating renders that provider's configuration page; deactivating stops it processing without discarding what you configured.
Gateway Configuration (Example: CCAvenue)
Configuration differs per provider, but the shape is the same. Taking CCAvenue as the example, activating it renders a page asking for the merchant credentials CCAvenue issued you, the operating mode, and the account settled funds are recorded against.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Merchant credentials | The keys or merchant ID issued by the provider. These authenticate you, so treat them as secrets. |
| Mode | Test or live. Test first, then switch. |
| Bank account | Where settled funds are recorded. |
Integration Workflow
- Activate the gateway and enter your merchant credentials.
- Test a payment in test mode before going live.
- Customers pay online; transactions are captured automatically.
- Review them in Gateway Data.
- Reconcile the net settlement against your bank statement.
Gateways settle net of fees. The customer pays the gross, the provider deducts its charge, and your bank receives the difference — so the deposit will not match the invoice unless the fee is recorded. Gateway Data is where that gap is visible.
