===== Overview =====



Since there were substantial changes made to the internal credit card feature in Control 6.0, users need to complete a series of setup steps to continue (or start) processing credit cards in Control. This article covers how to configure Control to process credit cards through Freedompay.



===== Requirements =====


  - You must have an account with [[capital_q]] (US Customers) or [[nxgen_canada|NxGen Canada]] (Canada Customers) and FreedomPay.



>> Call or email the appropriate contact at Capital Q or NxGen letting them know you're interested in processing credit cards in Control.


  - These credit card changes were introduced in the 6.0 version of Control so verify you are using that version or a newer version before proceeding (Help > About Control > Version).


  - The internal credit card processing feature is currently only available to US and CA Control users.



===== FreedomPay Boarding Process for U.S. Users =====



Once a Control user has spoken to Capital Q and decides they would like to use the credit card processing feature in Control, the "boarding" process begins and can take up to 7 business days to complete. Here's what the typical process consists of:


  - Capital Q creates a new account for the Control user in Elavon's system. Capital Q will get your banking details for the bank in which credit card payments are deposited into and a signed contract between your business and Elavon that discloses processing rates and other important information.


    - the Control user's AVS and CVV tolerance levels


    - preferred credit card batch settlement time


    - logo, header bar RGB color, and background RGB color for the HPP


  - FreedomPay finalizes the account setup and provides Capital Q with the your StoreID and TerminalID.


  - Capital Q will send you a secure email with your StoreID, TerminalID, and a link to this wiki.



===== FreedomPay Boarding Process for Canadian Users =====



Once a Control user has spoken to NxGen and decides they would like to use the credit card processing feature in Control, the "boarding" process begins and can take up to 7 business days to complete. Here's what the typical process consists of:


  - NxGen creates a new account for the Control user in Global's system. NxGen will get your banking details for the bank in which credit card payments are deposited into and a signed contract between your business and Global that discloses processing rates and other important information.


    - the Control user's AVS and CVV tolerance levels


    - preferred credit card batch settlement time


  - FreedomPay finalizes the account setup and provides NxGen with your StoreID and TerminalID.


  - NxGen will send you a secure email with your StoreID, TerminalID, and a link to this wiki.



===== Setup =====



Before you can begin to setup your credit card options, you must have your Terminal ID and Store ID from FreedomPay. If you haven't done this already, please contact Capital Q or NxGen using the contact information provided in #1 of the Requirements section above.
