Help with Acumatica Dummy Credit Card Plug- Installation

Hi ​@gdewald,

If you are going to use Acumatica Payments, you don’t need to develop own Credit Card Plug-in, as it is available out of the box. You only need to configure it.
Please check the help article:

• Acumatica Payments Setup guide

If you are using SalesDemo, Acumatica Payment sandbox should be preconfigured in ACUPAYMENT Processing Center.

The repository you’ve mentioned is a credit card plug-in, that should demonstrate how interfaces working for those who need to integrate with Processing Centers/Gateways that not supported by Acumatica ERP out of the box and there are no ISV solutions available.
If you would like to try how Demo Plug-in works you can try to deploy those packages:
ProcessingCenter - to mimic the behavior of the Processing Center
CreditCardPlugin - to interact with API provided by Processing Center in the first package
Please note that it might be necessary to recompile the dlls using your instance references, and it has limited functionality (check “Supported features and scenarios” section in readme).
 

Thank you very much ​@Evgeny Afanasiev!  I was wondering if that would be the case with Acumatica Payments.  I managed to look at the SalesDemo, and it does look like the the ACUPAYMENT processing center works there. However, I am unsure how to make it so that I can use this Processing Center with my local installations of Acumatica.  I have some customizations, as well as a portal I want to be able to test this out for, however I am unsure what to use for the APIKEY, HASHKEY, LOCATIONID, USERID, or the Webhook fields.  Would you happen to know what default values I can use for these in order to test this functionality with my specific company?

Hi ​@gdewald,

Those values are already set for in SalesDemo to link to sandbox, you do not need to reconfigure it. If on the instance you are planning to test there is no SalesDemo data, you download it as a snapshot.
If you would like to have an own sandbox/production merchant account, you would need own set of credentials. This you can request directly at Acumatica, by creating an opportunity.
More details about requesting credentials and links to snapshots in the post here:

Please also check another questions and answer in this article. There is a lot of useful information shared  about Acumatica Payments.

Thank you once again ​@Evgeny Afanasiev! Again I am still new to this, so I appreciate you taking the time to help me out!

Just for the sake of clarification, I want to make sure I have the information crystal clear, both for myself, and others who may read this in the future.  

We have already decided that we will be using Acumatica Payments.  It has already been ruled out that due to me using Acumatica Payments, I do not need to configure the plug in I initially mentioned, as that is for the development of my own unique CC processor.

To restate my scenario, perhaps a little more clearly, I have a local installation of Acumatica that contains a snapshot of my company’s live instance. I want to test how integrating a credit card processor works, and what considerations I would need to take when this time comes. I also want to be able to test this with Acumatica Payments on the Portal to allow for customer Payments.  However, I do not know what the APIKEY, HASHKEY, LOCATIONID, USERID, WEBHOOKPWD, or WEBHOOKUSR values that I would need to put in to the Credit Card Processor would be.  

While the SalesDemo Does have a working version of the Acumatica Payment processor working, I am unable to use this preset processor to test on my own test instance, I would need to work within the SalesDemo instance which, unfortunately, would not include a Customer portal, though it may be possible to make one.  

If I want to test the steps needed complete implementation of adding a Credit Card Processor to my company’s live site from scratch safely within the confines of my local development instance, I will need to directly reach out to Acumatica to request the credentials to the Acumatica Payments test Processor that is present in the SalesDemo. Do I have this correct?

Thank you again for your time and help Evgeny! Could you please let me know if my assessment in the last paragraph is correct!

For additional clarification, I also want to be able to also test from the portal from the perspective of a customer. That includes what their process would be to add a card to their account, and make a payment on the portal. By getting the sandbox, would I also have access to spoofed card information that I could enter in order to test this process?
