Add a Location

You must be a Payment Administrator to add a location. After a location is added, the Payment Administrator must Assign Users to a Location so it can be accessed by others. Locations can then be assigned to a Business Account.

For more details about required privileges, see Predefined Payment Groups and Privileges.

More than one location record can be added to match the business structure.

  1. Click Locations at the bottom of the dashboard, and then click Add Location. If you have come from the onboarding step 5, click Add Location.
  2. Complete the required fields.
    • Select the Industry for the location, as this determines how the location is categorised and ensures the correct configuration for payment processing and reporting.
    • In Location Reference, enter a unique value that is already used to identify this location in your organization or in an external application. Oracle Payment Cloud Service uses this value to link the location with other systems, so use a value that those systems recognize. Once the location is linked to a business account, the reference can’t be changed.
