CPQ Integration Set-Up Guide

Your step-by-step guide to integrating CPQ successfully.

How to Set up Your CPQ Integration

Connecting CPQ with Alternative Payments is quick and seamless, allowing you to maintain your existing workflows while enhancing payment flexibility for your customers. Follow these steps to get started:

1. Copy your Alternative Payments billing link.

  • Login to your Alternative Payments dashboard, www.alternativepayments.io

  • Navigate to Accounts Receivable - Invoices from the side menu

  • Click on the billing link at the top of the screen, under the Invoices header

2. Duplicate your Order Porter quote template.

  • Log in to your ConnectWise CPQ dashboard

  • Navigate to Settings > Document Branding > Order Porter Templates > Select your preferred template > Duplicate Group > Duplicate

Note: If you want to use an out-of-the-box template, Order Porter has a content vault that contains all of the default templates. The default templates have the ConnectBooster and WisePay functionality built into them. To remove reference of these platforms, open up a quote > Quote Setup > Order Porter Settings > Payment Processing > Select None. See the screenshot below for reference.

3. Insert your Alternative Payments Billing Link into your accepted quotes.

  • Select the template you would like to edit and click the pencil icon beside EntryPoint

  • Use Control+F (Windows) or Command+F (Mac) to search "Order Approved" and insert the following code into your email template, see the screenshot below for reference:

<a href="https://[billinglink]/custom-invoice?amount=#Quote.QuoteTotal" style=" color: black; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; ">Click to pay</a>

You must replace [billing link] with the link you copied from your Alternative Payments dashboard in Step 1. The entire link, https://[billinglink]/custom-invoice?amount=#Quote.QuoteTotal, should be inserted as a hyperlink.

  • Next, use Control+F (Windows) or Command+F (Mac) to search "This quote has been approved." within the "Panel ApprovedPannel" and insert the same code into your email, see the below screenshot for reference:

<a href="https://[billinglink]/custom-invoice?amount=#Quote.QuoteTotal" style=" color: black; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; ">Click to pay</a>

You must replace [billing link] with the link you copied from your Alternative Payments dashboard in Step 1. The entire link, https://[billinglink]/custom-invoice?amount=#Quote.QuoteTotal, should be inserted as a hyperlink.

  • Save your updates

4. You’re all set! 🎉
