Continia Banking includes preconfigured support for several well-known payment service providers (PSPs) such as PayPal, Klarna, and Adyen. If you're working with a PSP that isn't supported by default, you can configure Continia Banking to manually import payment files from that provider. This article guides you through the process of setting up a custom PSP integration using Continia's transaction ports and PSP agreements.

Step 1: Analyze the payment file

Start by reviewing the PSP’s file structure. For example, identify:

  • Delimiters (e.g., comma, semicolon)
  • Column headers (e.g., Amount, Date, Reference)
  • Data formats (e.g., date format, decimal separator)

For more information, see the To analyze the file section in the Introducing transaction ports article.

Step 2: Set up a transaction port

Create a transaction port to define how the fields in your file map to Business Central.

  • Define the column structure and field separators.
  • Map each column to a relevant Business Central field (e.g., transaction amount, account number, payment text).

For more information, see the Setting up transaction ports article.

Step 3: Add the Payment Service Provider

Before you can configure payment file imports for a custom PSP, you need to add the provider to Continia Banking. This involves creating a new entry with basic details such as the code, description, and transaction port.

Add your Payment Service Provider:

  1. Search (Search) for and select Payment Service Providers.
  2. On the action bar, select New.
  3. Enter the Code, Description, and Transaction Port.

Step 4: Create a PSP agreement

Link the custom transaction port to a PSP agreement. This allows you to:

  • Assign G/L accounts for fees, shipping costs, or commissions.
  • Group and organize payment data from the specific PSP.

For more information, see the Setting up a payment service provider article.

Step 5: Import the payment file

Once set up:

  • Go to the Cash Receipt Journal.
  • Select the appropriate PSP agreement.
  • Import the file and apply transactions.
