Sign-up
Latitude credentials can be required from Latitude merchant support.
Deferred settlement vs instant settlement
Merchants with Instant Settlement need to be set up with the Latitude/Gem Instant Settlement connection, so funds are captured right away during a transaction.
For Deferred Settlement, merchants must use the Latitude/Gem Deferred Settlement connection, meaning they need to capture the funds manually after authorization.
Credentials
When setting up Latitude/Gem in the dashboard you need to configure the
following credentials, which are obtained from Latitude Financial:
Merchant ID
The Latitude/Gem Merchant ID can be obtained from the Latitude Merchant Integration Support team.
Merchant secret
The Latitude/Gem Merchant Secret can be obtained from the Latitude Merchant Integration Support team.
Usage
Latitude allows for a promotion reference to be passed in a purchase request, this can be set with a connection option.
