Overview
Running a test transaction helps confirm that your account is correctly linked with Global Payments and helps prevent post-auction payment issues.
Step 1: Create a Test Auction
In Auction Flex 360, create a new auction titled Global Payments Test.
This will be used solely to confirm your integration is functioning correctly.
Step 2: Navigate to Check In
Go to Auction Day > Check In.
From here, you’ll check in a bidder to use in your test.
Step 3: Check In a Bidder
Either add an existing bidder or create a new bidder profile.
Once created, check the bidder into the Global Payments Test auction.
Step 4: Create a Lot
Go to Pre Auction > Lots > New Lot.
Add a simple test item to the auction.
Step 5: Clerk the Item as Sold
Navigate to Auction Day > Clerking.
Clerk the test lot as SOLD for $1 to the bidder you checked in.
Step 6: Send the Invoice with Payment Link
Go to Settlements > Email Settlement and Invoice.
Click Send to email the test bidder their settlement and invoice.
Step 7: Access the Payment Link
Open the invoice email and click the Payment Link that was generated.
This will take you to the online payment page.
Step 8: Add Payment Method and Pay the Invoice
Add a valid payment method (e.g., credit or debit card).
Complete the $1 payment.
Step 9: Confirm Payment
Once payment is successful, the bidder’s Status should display Paid.
This confirms that your integration with Global Payments is functioning properly.
Step 10: Refund the Transaction
Return to the settlement by clicking View Settlement.
2. Click Refund and select either Full or Partial Refund to complete the test.
