ProntoPayments: Create ABA File - Commercial Version

The Commercial version of ProntoPayments deals with Subscriptions as the recurring payment, and the PPayment Transaction as the record of Payment. Downloading an ABA Batch file contains multiple PPayment records, which are updated with a status of Success/Fail.

There is a tab on the ProntoPayments App for PP Payment Batch, from where you can click the New Batch button on the top Right hand corner.

Open

Open

Select the Payment ABA File Record Type

From the next screen, you can select which PPayments are to be included in the ABA Batch file. There are filters for Gateway, Payment Date Payment Type (Credit Card or Bank Account). NB Only PPayments of the same Payment Type can be added to a single Batch.

On the New Payment Batch page, you can give the Batch a name. Best practice is to enter the Type of Batch, Payment Type, Gateway and Date as the name e.g "ABA Bank Account Eway 1/9/2017". 
The Payment Batch Status will default to Open, and there is the option to add a Transaction Fee Per Record here, as well as a manual adjustment field for rounding.

Should you need to add more PPayments, you can click the "Back to List" button, and then tick more PPayments and click the "Add to Batch" button.

Once the batch is ready for processing, you can click the Download ABA File button, which will automatically save the batch, and direct you to the Wizard to generate the ABA File.

You will need to enter the Header Information for the ABA File.

You can then Download the file and go Back to the Batch record.

This is a view of the Batch Record which has a status of "Processing", and it lists the PPayments which have been added to the batch. 

The PP Payment Batch Name and Batch Status will be added to each PPayment Record.
