Windward System Five uses a middleware application called Datacap NETePay to send/receive transactions to and from the payment processor.
NETePay is created by Datacap Systems Inc and is a third-party software solution used for credit/debit/gift card processing. Windward System Five communicates with NETePay and NETePay communicates with the pinpad's and processor networks.
See the list of Payment Processor here: http://datacapepay.com/downloadmenu/
Windward Software Systems has no processing or support agreements with the following processors and are unsupported and untested processors. If you choose to use them let you will need to indicate you intend to use datacap NETePay.
WARNING! NETePay should never be installed on an internet-accessible server. Do not install on a terminal server session or Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).
NETePay can be installed on any machine “physical or virtual” that is on the same network as the Windward Server. This machine must run first before anything else to establish communication through it.
For RDP and Cloud users, NETePay will be installed on your local machine that’s always on or gets turned on first. We will then use the WindwardPOS Device Manager to allow communication to your RDP Server or the File Server (this is the server where Windward Data is being hosted).
Download the installers here http://datacapepay.com/downloadmenu/
NOTE: Save all the installers inside the shared Windward, you will need them later when the pinpad is setup on the client stations.
Choose the correct processor. You can verify this from the Merchant Sheet provided to you by your processor.
A rule of thumb:
See the samples below.
Once you have selected the correct payment processor, follow the steps provided on the download page to complete the installation. And do not forget to restart the computer when prompted.
After the installation is done, you will have a NETePay Icon on your desktop
Run it Click “Obtain Serial Number,” button Click OK on “Obtain Serial Number is Successful,” prompt Click OK on “Configuration not Set! –Use Setup | Merchant Parameters,” prompt Now, Go to Setup menu on the top Click on “Setup Information” Click on “Load New Parameters” button below Click the “YES” button on the error prompt Click on “I Have My Deployment ID” button Type in your Deployment ID and click OK. NETePay should now start and configured. But we are not done yet, we still need to ensure that it set to run automatically on Windows Boot/Start.
You can do this, 2 ways:
NOTE: Not all processor has this feature.
Look for “NETePay Service” and set it to AUTOMATIC \\
Run “Shell:Startup” And add the “NETePay” desktop shortcut.
The NetEPay service will require the Windows firewall to be configured to allow access. Follow these NetEPay instructions to configure your Windows firewall. If you have a different firewall solution, you will need to configure it to allow tcp ports 9000 and 9100.
Once Datacap installation is done, you will need to enable it in system five so it will communicate with NETePay. Please review payment processing settings in System Five.
