Setting Up Credit Cards Processing

To use the recurring billing and process the delayed transactions, the credit cards data should be saved in Parallels Business Automation - Standard database. The private data for credit cards saved in Parallels Business Automation - Standard is encrypted with public key and after this, to perform transaction, you need a secret key to decrypt it. Here you can generate the keys pair.

Important: On the next step of the Initial Setup Wizard the key pair generated will be shown on the screen. Please copy it and save in the safe place. This will be the only time when the keys will be shown.

Note that later you can generate the second keys pair to use the second one if the first key pair is lost.

To generate the keys pair to store credit cards data in Parallels Business Automation - Standard:

  1. Check the Store credit card information for future transactions box.
  2. Enter the key pair name into the Key Name field. This name is not connected with keys generation. This is just the alphanumerical identifier of the key pair to refer to this key pair it in Parallels Business Automation - Standard (for example, Key pair 1).
  3. You can type the passphrase that will be asked each time when you decrypt the credit card data into the Passphrase for secure key field. You can also leave this field blank and the secure key will be generated with the empty passphrase, i.e., when asked, you should leave the field designated for the passphrase blank.
