Overview

Xstore can now support Pay By Link tenders, allowing customers to tender for transactions remotely and also allowing payment using a number of alternative payment types as supported by the payment provider and retailer.

The Pay by Link functionality allows a sales associate to provide a way for a customer to pay for merchandise without ever handing over any sort of payment item or communicating any sort of payment information to the sales associate.

Instead, the customer will be presented with a link (url) which they can visit in order to enter their payment information securely on the payment providers payment checkout webpage, and pay for their merchandise.

Two types of Pay By Link tenders are supported:

• PBL Customer Not Present This tender is typically used when the customer is not present in the store, but is instead on the phone to the sales assistant, creating an order such as Send Sale. The PBL link (url) is emailed to the customer, which the customer will click, taking them to the payment providers payment checkout webpage.

• PBL On the Payment Terminal

  This tender is typically used when the customer is in the store and wishes to pay with an alternative tender such as various wallet or other payment types.

  The PBL link (url) is displayed on the payment terminal as a QR Code, that the customer can scan using their cell phone, taking them to the payment providers payment checkout webpage.

  An Xcenter webservice needs to be enabled and configured, to process completed PBL Customer Not Present payments in Xstore. This service processes PBL payment result notifications from the payment provider.
