Axepta Online offers daily reconciliation reporting (Settlement File).
The Settlement File brings together all the data of the different payment methods used by the merchant to meet his reconciliation and reporting needs. Clearing and settlement information is retrieved from individual payment service providers and acquirers.
The file is in a Comma Separated Values (CSV) format.
This step-by-step documentation explains the steps to recover the Settlement File when it is made available on an Axepta sFTP.

This file recovery method requires the generation of SSH and PGP key pairs that will be used to:
|
Implementation steps
- The Merchant contacts Axepta Support to request the availability of the reconciliation file via sFTP
- Axepta Support contacts the Merchant and asks him to send his SSH and PGP public keys
- The Merchant creates his SSH and PGP key pairs. He only submits his public keys to Axepta Support
- Axepta Support performs the appropriate configuration
- Axepta Support sends Merchant Axepta sFTP connection data
- The Merchant establishes the connection between his information system and the Axepta sFTP, recovers the encrypted file and decrypts it
Step details
Step 1: Request to make the reconciliation file available via sFTP
The request to make the reconciliation file available via sFTP is sent by email to Axepta Support.

Step 2: Request to send SSH and PGP public keys
In response, Axepta Support contacts the merchant by email so that he can send him his SSH and PGP public keys.
This email also contains the Axepta Online public key which will be used only in case the merchant wishes to carry out operations via Batch.

Please note the following information in order to set up the provision of reconciliation files via sFTP:
It is necessary to assign an email address to your public PGP key as it will act as an identifier. We recommend that you do not use a private email address but an email address from the company's domain.

Step 3: Generate SSH and PGP key pairs and send to support
Step 3.1: Generate Key Pairs
The Merchant (its integrator or IT department) generates SSH and PGP key pairs.
SSH and PGP systems use so-called asymmetric encryption modes characterized by the use of a key pair.
This pair is composed of:
- an encryption key called a public key
- a decryption key called a private key

Step 4 and 5: Configuration by Axepta Support
Axepta Support configures the SSH and PGP public keys provided by the merchant on the Axepta platform.
Once this operation is complete, a confirmation email containing the login credentials to the Axepta server is sent to the merchant.

The SSH public key has been configured

Step 6: Connect to sFTP and retrieve the reconciliation file
The Merchant (its integrator or IT department) sets up the connection between its information system and the Axepta server.
Once the connection is established, the reconciliation file can be retrieved daily from 3pm.
The file can be decrypted (thanks to the PGP private key) and integrated into the Merchant's tools.

The files will be automatically deleted from the Axepta sFTP server after 14 days. The reconciliation file is generated only when transactions are made. |
