Electronic payment processing

Electronic payment (EP) processing currently can take the form of credit cards. Electronic payment allows you to accept these forms of payment for customer orders. This diagram shows how the electronic payment process works. Each column represents tasks that are performed by different roles. The first column are tasks you perform, the middle column are tasks performed by the application, and the third column are tasks performed by the EPP - Electronic Payment Provider. The Electronic Payment Provider (EPP) is an external provider of EP services. The EPP communicates with banks and financial institutions to authorize and settle your customer's EP accounts.

Electronic payment processing requires software to interface Order Entry and Billing to the EPP. If you are using Lawson's Electronic Payment Connector for this, then the supported EPP is PayPal.

Note: This diagram assumes online release of orders and and that there are no failures in the electronic payment process.
