Before you start

If files will be delivered encrypted by the third-party, you must source a PGP key pair from your IT department to perform the encryption and decryption. Give the public part of the PGP key pair to the third-party provider when you forward details.

In Sage People Payflow

1. Set the SFTP service setting for the Payflow service. This configures the service to use the enhanced file transfer platform.

2. Configure SFTP credentials for the Payflow service. This creates a user on the file transfer platform that enables Payflow to retrieve files.

3. Configure inbound settings to add the incoming server address and path for the file transfer platform. This creates the folder location on the file transfer platform from which files will be retrieved.

4. Configure an inbound trigger that monitors the file transfer platform for files delivered by your third-party provider, and triggers the inbound Payflow service to retrieve and process the file.

In the file transfer platform

5. Create a decryption-only job (optional): if your third-party delivers files to the file transfer platform in an encrypted format, you can configure a decryption job to decrypt the file and move it to a different folder.

6. Create a folder group to provide access to your third-party provider to deposit files to the system.

7. Create a web user to enable the third-party provider to deposit files to the file transfer platform.

8. Forward connection details to the third-party provider.
