setting up GW Auctions C&P integration

Good day!

YES - you should choose 1-1 and Create an Account Contact Pair.

eVT is designed to stay above the platform so an application can change the behavior of our app for a single event.

Please let us know if we can be of more assistance.

At the bottom of the New eVT screen, it asks about Account settings. We are using the 1:1 model with NPSP, so an account is automatically created for each contact by NPSP.

Given that, should I choose "Do NOT create new Account for new Contacts" or " Create an Account / Contact pair (1 to 1)"?

Good day!

The eVT or the Embedded Virtual Terminal is setup in the C&P module as follows:

1. If the tab is not readily available please go to the Tab listing and click on the "C&P Virtual Terminal"
   
   Click to enlarge
   
2. Click on New and create a new eVT [for additional reading you may to review the following manual post: http://manual.clickandpledge.com/Sal...Terminal.html]
   
   
3. The Application name, Version #, and Identification # are all open text fields designed to help you follow through the data and posts to the C&P Data if needed. Name them as you wish.
4. C&P Account Number: Enter the account number from the C&P Portal > Account Info > Profile - the account number is unique to your organization.
5. The rest of the form is self explanatory and described in the manual link provided in step 2
6. The SFeVTID will be generated and shown in the listing page once the eVT has been created. The unique ID identifies your eVT and separates it from others.

Please see the image provided above and you will be able to identify similar information from your listing page.

Please let us know if still have any problems.

How can the URL be the same for everyone? there are two variables in the example that must be filled in: SFeVTID and CnPAID, and I don't know what I'm expected to use there.

And as our C&P account is live, connected to Salesforce, and receiving donations from our website, from further poking around in this form it looks like I can't really test the virtual terminal part in a Salesforce sandbox as hoped (refer to: http://forums.clickandpledge.com/showthread.php?t=895&p=2642&highlight=test+mode+li ve+Salesforce#post2642 )

Unless I temporarily suspend online donations from our website, change the account in C&P admin to test mode and the Salesforce Account Type to Sandbox (on the C&P site), do our "training" in our sandbox, and go back to C&P Admin and switch back to production. Would that work?

Good day!

The URL is the same for everyone. The parameters are different for each eVT setup.

In TEST mode you can use 4111111111111111 (4 & 15x1's)
Expiration: any future date
CV2: 123

Hope that helps.

PS I also hope to set this up in a sandbox, so our staff can practice checkin/checkout. Would I use different URLS for this? What can I do to practice the transaction part? A special Credit Card Number that doesn't actually charge?

The GW Auction Installation manual says "provide a string for the “Credit Card Validate URL Formula” and “Credit Card Charge URL Formula” custom settings.

There's not very good instructions for how to do this, but I found these custom settings fields under Setup>App Setup>Develop>Custom Settings>Auctions and then next to AuctionSettings, click Manage

The example they give for the URL (this one is the validate example) I would use is:
https://evt.salesforce.cloud.clickandpledge.com?SFOrgID={5 }&SFeVTID=<you-must-fill-in>&CnPAID=<you-must-fill-in> &SFContactID={0}&b1=Auction%20Validation%20Only&up 1=0&SubText=Save%20Payment%20Info&PreAuth=1&subtxt =Save%20Payment%20Info

But I would imagine there are a couple of other variables I would also need to change (SFOrgID)

Can you help me with the URLs I will need?

Amanda,

Unfortunately we don't support Groundwire Auctions. They are integrated with us and we helped them during the process.

I know they have a PDF document summarizing how to set it up. Have you seen that PDF document?

[CarolinaTigerRescue]

I've found a few references to setting up GW Auctions with C&P, but not a good "here's the setup process" reference.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks, Amanda
