Request Storefront

Some of the information necessary to create your storefront include:

  • How would you like the name of your department to appear?
  • Do you want daily data files to be produced?
  • Are you planning to accept American Express?
  • Will the transactions be posted to the financial system thru another feeder system?
  • What is the contact information for your administrator, including name (for internal use only), email address and phone number?
  • What is your technical contact information (for internal use only), such as your webmaster, including name, email and phone number?
  • What is the General Ledger String for charging credit card fees to your department? Note: It is critically important that the full 25 characters of your general ledger string, including the leading zeros, are submitted, otherwise there will be delays in processing revenue credits to your department.  You can get the valid and appropriate general ledger string from your accounting people. 
  • What is the General Ledger String for using as a suspense account for transactions that have failed to be posted to the financial system?
