Overview
In order to integrate with the Vantiv gateway, you will need to have a Vantiv merchant account set up through them. Then you will need to obtain your API credentials (username and password) in order to link Engaging Networks donation pages to your Vantiv Payments account. Once you’ve obtained your API credentials, please contact an Engaging Networks team member in order to have the gateway added into your account.

eCheck Verification
With eCheck Verification enabled, Vantiv queries a national, third party database to determine if a bank account is closed and screen for any negative history of bounced checks or fraud. Based on the response, an approval, decline, or administrative response will be passed to Engaging Networks. eCheck verification needs first be enabled in the Vantiv Worldpay account and then in Engaging Networks. Please contact support to enable. It can take up to six weeks for the feature to be enabled in Engaging Network as it requires a server bounce/ restart which typically only happen as part of a software release.
Nine digit Zip Codes should not include a hyphen (-) with eCheck Verification enabled. Only numbers should be used.
Additional Fields for Recurring Payments
Be sure to enable tokenization in the Vantiv account for recurring processing.

Recurring Day | Numeric | The day of the month on which the recurring payment should be taken. This can be defaulted to the day the initial donation was made. |
Testing Vantiv payments donation pages
It is always recommended that you test your new forms using a ‘Test Gateway’. This ensures that the proper values are being submitted to the gateway and that the page is processing correctly. Once tested, you can make the page live, switch to the live gateway, and test an actual donation using a real credit card.
Instructions for procuring a Vantiv prelive gateway can be found here.

Adding Vantiv ACH as a secondary gateway
You can add Vantiv gateway to process ACH transactions as a secondary gateway (“Vantiv ACH”). This can be used in combination with a Payflow gateway to process credit card transactions on the same donation page.
Go to Account Settings → Gateways and add a new payment gateway.
Choose “Vantiv ACH” from the gateway options, and enter your Vantiv account details.
Now go to your donation page and go to your Donation Settings screen.
Click on “I would like to add another merchant account or add support for digital wallets”, and select “Vantiv Bank” followed by “Vantiv ACH”.
Through the Payment Type field in your donation page, you can show/hide the bank routing and account number.
Note
This will only work with processing ACH transactions through Vantiv as a secondary gateway.
The primary gateway cannot also have ACH set up, and we will work on supporting more primary gateways in the future.
