Softpay turns an ordinary mobile device (an Android phone or tablet) into a payment terminal, so the device can accept card payments via tap-to-pay. This means you do not need a separate physical card terminal — the card or phone is simply held up to the device.
On this page you fill in the information provided to you by Softpay as part of onboarding, and control how the card receipt is handled. The integration is effectively activated by filling in the three Integrator fields correctly — there is no separate on/off switch for Softpay. All three fields (id, merchant and secret) must be filled in for the setup to be valid and the device to accept payments.
1. Open the hamburger menu in the top left corner and select Financial. 2. Go to Setup, then Settings. 3. Select Point of Sales, then Agent application and finally Softpay payments.
The three Integrator fields below are provided to you by Softpay when your business is created (onboarding). All three must be filled in before the device can accept payments.
Integrator id: The integrator id Softpay provides at onboarding. It identifies the partner integration used towards the Softpay platform, and together with the merchant and secret it is part of the validation against Softpay.
Integrator merchant: The merchant identifier Softpay provides at onboarding. It links the payments to the correct business at Softpay. Must be filled in together with the id and secret.
Integrator secret: The secret key (password) Softpay provides at onboarding. It is used to confirm to Softpay that the integration is the correct one. It is treated as confidential information and should be kept secret.
Is sandbox enabled: When this is turned on, Softpay runs in test mode against Softpay's test environment instead of the real production environment. Used only for testing during setup. In daily operation it must be set to No — otherwise real payments are not processed. Default is No.
Softpay receipt is printed together with sales receipt: When this is turned on, the card receipt from Softpay and the sales receipt itself are combined into one print instead of two separate receipts. When it is turned off, the card receipt and sales receipt are printed separately. Default is No.
