Global Holdings (formerly known as Global Client Solutions or GCS) is a payment gateway that links ForthCRM to merchant processors.

Integration Details:

  • Accepts ACH Debit, ACH Credit/Fees, and Settlement Payment transaction types.
  • The ability to manually Clear payments is not currently supported in the Global Holdings integration.
  • Global uses Policy Groups to determine how to split fees. These are created in Global and cannot be changed from within the Forth interface. A Policy Group must be defined before enrollment with Global.
  • Requires a signed Global DAA (Dedicated Account Agreement) to be uploaded before enrolling a contact.

Processing Details:

Once a signed Global Agreement is uploaded to the Docs tab within the Client Dashboard, and the contact becomes enrolled, a consumer record is created in the Global system. Payments are NOT pre-scheduled in Global; instead, they are transmitted on the process date.

Global processes payments in batches, on the day they are scheduled. Transactions are updated to Cleared or Returned if indicated by Global.

Batch Time (CST):

12:00PM, 10:00PM

Batch Times are permanent and cannot be changed or customized.
