Overview

You can group multiple gateways into a gateway group. This is useful when you have numerous gateways and wish to utilize them within payment profiles. Also enables you to use the same gateway multiple times within a payment profile cascade.

Choice Method

Select how RevCent will choose a gateway within the group when processing a transaction.

Options:

• Sort Order: Process valid gateways in the sort order within the group, beginning with gateway 1 in the group list. I.e. if gateway 1 is valid, then it will be used, else gateway 2 if valid, and so on.
• Round Robin: Process gateways in the sort order within the group list, beginning with the next gateway after the last transaction gateway used in the group list order. I.e. if gateway 1 was last used, then gateway 2 will be used if valid. If gateway 3 is last used, and is the last gateway in the rotation, then the rotation resets and gateway 1 will be used if valid.
• Evenly Distribute: Process valid gateways by even distribution of total captured payment volume within the past 24 hours. Sort order in the group list is ignored. Instead, least captured payment volume is what determines which gateway will be used. I.e. If gateway X has total captured payment volume of $210, gateway Y has total captured payment volume of $200 and gateway Z has total captured payment volume of $230, then gateway Y will be used as it has the least total captured payment volume.

Grouping Method

You have the ability to group gateways by simply selecting from a list.

Options:

• Gateway: A list of all gateways in your account are shown in the left box (available list). To include a gateway in the group, click the blue arrow pointing to the right. The box on the right side (active list) is gateways which are active in the group. Remove a group by clicking the red arrow pointing to the left. Gateways in the active list are sortable, which enables you to move gateways according to the order you wish to process. The choice method is also dependent on the order of gateways. To sort/move a gateway simply click, hold and drag. The order is displayed on the right of each gateway in the active list.
