# Parkonect: Payroc Merchant Gateway Configuration Guide

Main doc: [Payroc Merchant Gateway](https://qa.flashparking.com/docs/parkonect-payroc-merchant-gateway/)

**Note: Super User role is required **

## Install the required firmware version

Follow the steps on [Parkonect: Update Scheduler](https://qa.flashparking.com/docs/parkonect-update-scheduler/) to install firmware ver 4.18+ or later. Payroc requires at least v4.18 to support offline mode (Edge) in lanes with ID Tech Magstripe readers and standard payment processing in lanes with VP5300 readers. **Use [Update Scheduler V2](https://qa.flashparking.com/docs/parkonect-update-scheduler-v2/)** to install the firmware updates ver 4.10.00 or later.  

## Gateway Management

Create the Payroc Merchant Gateway configuration by following these steps:

1. In Parkonect Admin go to **Parkonect > Gateway Management**.
2. In the Garage dropdown at the top, **select the Garage** you are working with
3. Under **New Gateway Type, select Payroc-Live,** then press the **New Account** button
   1. The Gateway dropdown will already be populated with the current active Gateway. If the garage is new, then this should read *No Gateway*.

1. Fill out the Payroc Gateway fields:
   - **Gateway Name:** Enter Payroc + Garage Name
   - **Credentials:**
     1. **API Base URL** and **Identity URL** are prefilled and **read-only** fields.
     2. **Terminal Secret:** Only required for garages with a Hosted Payment Page (such as [parcdaypass.com](http://parcdaypass.com)). Enter a combination of characters to use as a key, then add this key to the Merchant Account in the Payroc portal. See steps in the ***Hosted Payment Page*** section below. 
     3. **HPP Terminal ID:** Only required for garages with a Hosted Payment Page (such as [parcdaypass.com](http://parcdaypass.com)). The eCommerce Terminal ID found in the Payroc Portal. This Terminal ID (TID) is added by Payroc. See steps on how to find it in the ***Hosted Payment Page*** section below. 
     4. **Default Terminal ID:** The default Terminal ID for the Garage. See the ***Finding Terminal IDs*** in Payroc Admin section below.
        1. **Garages with IDTech SpectrumAir readers only**: All readers will share this Terminal ID. You do not need to enter the Terminal ID at the lane level. 
        2. **Garages with VP5300s only:** Enter the Terminal ID at the lane level. Each VP5300 has its own Terminal ID. See the ***Adding a Terminal ID to each lane*** section below for steps. 
        3. **Garages with both types of readers:** Enter the Default Terminal ID (this is for IDTech SpectrumAir readers) and also add the unique Terminal ID for each device on each lane that has a VP5300 reader. See the ***Adding a Terminal ID to each lane*** section below for steps.
   - **Active:** Only check the Active box if the operation wants to process payments with Payroc right away. **DO NOT check this box** if the intention is to **schedule the gateway settings for a later date**.
