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 Comma Separated Values (CSV) format.

This step-by-step documentation explains the steps to retrieve the Settlement File when it is sent by email.


Tips

This file recovery method requires the generation of a PGP key pair that will be used for reconciliation file decryption, generated by Axepta


Step by step 


  1. The Merchant contacts Axepta Support to request the reconciliation file availability by email
  2. Axepta Support contacts the Merchant and asks him to send his PGP public key
  3. The Merchant creates his PGP key pair. It only transmits the public key to Axepta Support
  4. Axepta Support performs the appropriate configuration and informs the merchant
  5. The Merchant receives the reconciliation file by email and decrypts it using his private key

Please note the following information in order to set up the provision of reconciliation files by e-mail:


  • Please find our public key attached.
  • Please provide us with your PGP public key in .asc format (with an RSA length of at least 4096 Bit).


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.


We will complete the account configuration and send you your access data by e-mail after receiving your data.



Step 3: Generate the PGP key pair and send to support


Step 3.1: Generate the key pair

The Merchant (its integrator or IT department) generates a pair of PGP keys. PGP uses a so-called asymmetric encryption mode 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

Usability

  • PGP keys will be used to encrypt and decrypt the reconciliation file.

Prerequisite:

  • The PGP key must have an RSA length of at least 4096 Bit.
  • The PGP key must be in .asc format


Step 3.2: Send to Support

The merchant sends his PGP public key to Axepta Support, specifying his MID.



Step 4: Configuration by Axepta Support


Axepta Support configures the PGP public key provided by the merchant on the Axepta platform.


Step 5: Receiving and decrypting the file 


The merchant receives the reconciliation file by email and uses his PGP private key to decrypt the file.
