- About MATRIXX Pay Now
  MATRIXX Pay Now describes the tasks required to configure MATRIXX Pay Now and the MATRIXX Payment Service that enables Pay Now and provides overviews, recommendations, and conceptual discussions to help you understand these tasks.
- Pay Now Overview
  MATRIXX Pay Now enables the Charging Server to request immediate payment for product offer and bundle purchases, postpaid balance payments, and recharges from a Payment Gateway Provider. Subscribers can make quick and secure purchases using payment methods such as credit and debit cards.
  - Pay Now Components
    Pay Now involves multiple components that work together to recognize immediate payment for one-time _glossary/product_offer.html and _glossary/bundle.html purchases.
  - Payment Service
    The Payment Service delivers messages between MATRIXX Charging Application and a Payment Gateway Provider. Messages include authorization requests and responses. Authorization requests include the current subscriber or group payment token.
  - Pay Now Payment Process
    Before beginning the Pay Now authorization process, the client must request a client authorization token from the Payment Service and the Payment Service must request a payment method token from the Payment Gateway Provider.
  - Pay Now Payment Methods
    Payment tokens represent payment methods, such as a credit card number, but do not contain actual payment information. They are generated by the Payment Service and must be added to subscriber or group wallets using the SubMan APIs.
  - Pay Now Catalog Item Purchases
    When purchasing catalog items, there are multiple options for specifying how payments are made.
  - Pay Now Payments and Recharges
    Use Pay Now to make one-time top-ups to prepaid actual currency balances (recharges) or one-time payments to postpaid main balances.
  - Pay Now Automatic Recharge
    Automatic recharge makes immediate payments to subscriber and group wallets according to a predefined schedule, automatically based on recurring billing and purchased item cycles, or when a balance threshold is triggered due to a balance increase.
  - Pay Now Refunds
    Using the SubMan APIs, you can request a subscriber or group Pay Now payment refund to prepaid or postpaid main balances. The Payment Service also supports partial refunds for the Braintree Payment Gateway Provider.
  - Pay Now Normalization
    Normalizers can be applied on the temporary MtxEventChargeNormalizationInfo MDC to use different General Ledger (GL) account names and GL transaction types based on the payment type, update type, event type, and tax class.
  - Pay Now Operations
    A Pay Now operation can be initiated by multiple actions, such as a purchase authorization, settlement, and refund.
- Configuring Pay Now
  System administrators must configure the Payment Service to enable communication between Apache ActiveMQ, MATRIXX Engine, and the Payment Service. In addition, they must configure the Payment Service third-party Payment Gateway Provider properties file location.
- Manage the Payment Service
  This procedure describes how to run the Payment Service as a service.
- Pay Now Payment Gateway Adapters
  Each Payment Gateway Adapter can support multiple features, operations, and payment methods.
- Pay Now APIs
  Each client that communicates with the Payment Service has different requirements based on the payment gateways that it supports. Client developers should contact MATRIXX Support for information specific to their client implementation.

Pay Now Normalization

Normalizers can be applied on the temporary MtxEventChargeNormalizationInfo MDC to use different General Ledger (GL) account names and GL transaction types based on the payment type, update type, event type, and tax class.

If GL information is configured to be included in Event Detail Records (EDRs), a temporary data container (MtxEventChargeNormalizationInfo) includes information gathered for the event and information from the balance template that can be used to normalize on information related to individual charge record fields.

MtxEventChargeNormalizationInfo Fields lists the fields that you can normalize on in the MtxEventChargeNormalizationInfo MDC for payments and refunds.

Table 1. MtxEventChargeNormalizationInfo Fields
Field	Type	Description
PaymentReason	String	The reason for the payment. Set for Pay Now payments, Contract Debt payments, or payments from External Payment Requests.
PaymentType	UINT8	For Pay Now, to normalize on the `PaymentType`, the value must be 2 (Pay Now).
RechargeReason	String	Set only for recharges. The reason for the recharge.
RefundReason	String	Set only for Pay Now refunds. The reason for the refund.

Note: By default, GL information is not included in EDRs. You must configure MATRIXX Engine to generate the GL information that is included in EDRs.
