Set up PSP's with Continia Banking

"With keeping our Cash Receipt Journal up to date, I dread the days when our PSP payouts land. One number hits the bank, but behind it are hundreds of customer payments, fees, refunds, and corrections that all need to be unpacked, posted, and matched to the right invoices. Doing that is error-prone and means I'm always a few days behind on reconciliation. I want to be confident that when a PayPal or Klarna payout arrives, the file tells the system what to do, not me, line by line."

External Payment Reference Rules

As part of setting up a PSP agreement, Continia Banking matches imported PSP payments to open ledger entries using the External Payment Reference. When this value on the customer entry matches the reference in the imported file, the payment reconciles automatically. You define which field to read, and how to format it in an External Reference Rule Template.

To set it up:

1. Search for and open PSP External Reference Rules (or use the PSP Agreement Setup assisted setup).
2. Select New to add a template.
3. Enter a Template Code and Template Description.
4. On the far right, click the three dots to open Field Selection, choose the fields to include (for example, External Reference Number), and select OK.
5. In Field Selection Text, click the three dots to open Template Field Properties and refine the format, for example, set Length to 10 and Place After to 0 so the reference is always ten digits.

Once saved, the template's rules drive automatic matching for every payment imported under that PSP agreement.

Add a Custom PSP

While Continia has a large set of predefined PSP agreements like Klarna, bol.com PayPal that connect directly to Business Central and lets you import with ease straight into the cash receipt journal. However, there may be some instances where you will need to set up a custom PSP.
