Note: On first install, before setting up Payments Plus ensure that all necessary accounts are allocated a payment method.

Use the Feature Console to guide you through this process. For more details, see Feature Console in the Foundations Help.

Warning: If you were using the pilot version of Payments Plus you still need to perform the following steps. If you do not, you will not have access to new functionality, such as the ability to make electronic payments.
Note:

Some of these steps are not automated. You will need to do these manually. See the Salesforce Help for more information such as creating and assigning permissions sets, button overrides, and adding new values to existing picklists.

The steps you need to perform are:

  1. This is a manual step. Replace the override of the view action on Payments with paymentview.
