Auctions-for-Salesforce :: Version3.4

In Groundwire Auctions for Salesforce version 3.0 the option to use Click & Pledge as a payment processor has been added. So now, at your auction your patrons can be pre-authorized then charged for their items purchased at the end of the event. Since this will be using the Click & Pledge  Payment as a Serive App, receipts will be automatically emailed to patrons and the organization per usual. And the transaction will be recorded under the Contact's record.

Step 1: Enter the desired name. It will be used when the custom settings data is referenced by Apex.

Step 2: Credit Card Charge URL Formula: This URL invokes the virtual terminal of a credit card processor to charge their credit card. Go to Embedded Virtual Terminal page and find the Base URL in Page information.

https://evt.salesforce.cloud.clickandpledge.com?SFOrgID={5} &SFeVTID=<Paste 1>&CnPAID=<Paste 2> &SFContactID={0}&b1=Auction Purchases&up1={2}&showTotal=1 &SessionId={3}&ServerURL={4}

Copy and paste the above URL in the textbox. Make sure to change <Paste 1> with your eVTID and <Paste 2> with your C&P Account Number.

Step 3: Credit Card Validate URL Formula: This URL invokes the virtual terminal of a credit card processor to capture and validate their credit card info. Like above, copy and paste the below URL by giving eVTID and C&P Account Number from the Base URL of Embedded Virtual Terminal.

https://evt.salesforce.cloud.clickandpledge.com?SFOrgID={5} &SFeVTID=<Paste 1>&CnPAID=<Paste 2>&SFContactID={0}&b1=Auction Validation Only&up1=0&PreAuth=1&subtxt=Save Payment Info

Step 4: Opportunity Payment Method Field: It helps to know which payment type (Credit Card, eCheck, Cash) is using.

If the user has the NPSP they should leave it blank, and Auctions for Salesforce will automatically save the payment method on the Payments object (if they have NPSP payments enabled).

If the user is not using NPSP then follow the below procedure to know the Opportunity Payment Method Field: Login to the Salesforce account then Setup > App Setup > Customize > Opportunities > Fields > Opportunity Custom Fields & Relationships > New

Step 4.1: Choose the field type

Select “Text” data type and click on “Next” button.

Step 4.2: Enter the details

Enter the desired field label. Make sure that the length should not exceed 255. The field label will be automatically considered as its field name.

Step 4.3: Establish field-level security

Just click on “Next” button to advance to the final step.

Step 4.4: Add to page layouts

Click on “Save” button to save the settings.

After clicking on “Save” button, you will be redirected to the “Opportunity Fields” page. Scroll down to find “Opportunity Custom Fields & Relationships” tab and you will find the newly created field label. Copy the “API name” and paste it in the “AuctionSettings Edit” page.

 

NOTE: If Opportunity Payment Method Field is empty then you will see the following error.

NOTE: If they want to track Payment Method on some other custom related object, they can't do it directly.  Ie, A4S won't know how to write to a related record.  They would need to have a custom field on Opportunity, which they specify as described above, and then they could use their own flow, process, or trigger to copy their Opportunity Payment Method field to their related object.

Step 5: Opportunity Stage Pledged: This opportunity stage will be used when the auction purchases are pledged, but not yet paid.

To see whether the stage name is correct or not, follow these steps: Setup > App Setup > Customize > Opportunity > Fields > Opportunity Standard Fields > Stage (Click on Stage) > Opportunity Stages Picklist Values. You will find the “Pledged” under Stage name category.

NOTE: Check whether the spelling “Pledged” in Opportunity Stages Picklist values and AuctionSettings Edit page is same.

Step 6: Opportunity Stage Won Not Thanked: This opportunity stage will be used when the opportunities are paid but not thanked.

Follow the Step 5 guidelines to check whether the name is same in both Opportunity Stages Picklist Values and AuctionSettings Edit page.

NOTE: Make sure that the Hyphen size is same. It is recommended to copy the stage name from the Opportunity Stages Picklist Values and paste it in the AuctionSettings Edit page.

NOTE: There are two scenarios in which Pledged & Closed Won stages will not appear.

Case 1: When the stage is not even created in Salesforce:

To create stages follow this path: Setup > App Setup > Customize > Opportunities > Fields > Opportunity Standard Fields > Stage (Click on it) > Opportunity Stages Picklist Values > New

Enter the appropriate values to create a new stage. Make sure that the stage is added to Auctions in “Sales Processes” and click on “Save” button.

NOTE: If this is the scenario then no need to go for the Case: 2.

Case 2: when these stages were created but not added into Sales Processes of Opportunity from Salesforce:

If you want to see whether it is already created in Salesforce or not then follows this path: Setup > App Setup > Customize > Opportunities > Sales Processes > Auctions (Click on Auctions) > Opportunity Stages.

Select “Pledged” & “Closed Won – Not Thanked” from “Available Stages” section and click on “Add” button. Then those two will come under “Selected Values” section. Then click on “Save” button then these two stages will appear on the Auctions page.

Step 7: After entering the details, click on “Save” button to save the Custom Settings.
