Adding and Configuring an Electronic Payment Service Merchant ID

Adding an Electronic Payment Service Merchant

Before you add an electronic payment service merchant ID to the Universal Payment Handler interface, you must set up an Internet merchant account with the credit card payment processing service.

To add an electronic payment service merchant:

1. From the Configure and Verify Interfaces (APP014) screen, click the Setup Merchants button.

2. From the Interface Parameter Maintenance Search screen, click Add Merchant.
The Interface Parameter Maintenance Details screen displays.

3. In the Main Merchant Info section, select the electronic payment service the merchant will use from the Payment Handler drop-down.

4. Enter the Merchant name in the text box.

You must have the merchant name match in case across all of your credit card processing pieces or authorizations will fail.

5. After the two required fields are filled, the Merchant Parameters table populates.

6. Under Parameter Value, enter the specific values pertaining to each Parameter Name. Please refer to the table below for more information on the parameters.

7. Click Save.

Parameter Name	Description
CyberSource
Active	The status of the Payment Handler and Merchant combination. Only active merchants can be used when processing credit cards, setting up Cash accounts, and running batch jobs. Options include “Y” and “N,” but the default is “Y.”
Currency	The currency the Payment Handler operates in.
Forced Refund	This parameter controls whether CyberSource processes refunds to credit cards that were settled outside of Personify (such as a lockbos processor). Options include “Y” and “N”. If you set this to “Y,” then you must also verify the merchant transaction settings are as follows: · Allow Non-referenced Credits = Yes · Credits may exceed original transaction amount = Yes
Ignore AVS	Added with the 7.3.0 release, this parameter controls whether customers are required to provide the zip code of the credit card billing address when using a credit card as payment for a purchase. To comply with PA-DSS standards, this AVS code is not stored in the database. This parameter applies to both back office and web transactions.
Ignore CVV	Added with the 7.3.0 release, this parameter controls whether customers are required to provide a CVV code when using a credit card as payment for a purchase. To comply with PA-DSS standards, this CVV code is not stored in the database.
Merchant Logon	The user ID for logging on to the merchant website.
Pre Validate Credit Card	Added with the 7.3.0 release, this parameter controls whether organizations pre-validate a credit card by generating a zero-dollar authorization before processing the credit card for full authorization. The pre-validation tests the CVV or AVS so that the customer has the opportunity to provide the correct information. When this parameter is set to “Y” and either “Ignore AVS” = “N” or “Ignore CVV” = “N”, then the system will generate a zero-dollar authorization to validate the account information before processing the credit card for full authorization.
VeriSign
Active	The status of the Payment Handler and Merchant combination. Only active merchants can be used when processing credit cards, setting up Cash accounts, and running batch jobs. Options include “Y” and “N,” but the default is “Y.”
CCP_Auth_Hold_Period	The number of days a credit card authorization can be held for Personify backorders. This parameter was moved from the APP_PARAMETER table to here in the 7.3 release.
Currency	The currency the Payment Handler operates in.
Forced Refund	This parameter controls whether VeriSign processes refunds to credit cards that were settled outside of Personify (such as a lockbox processor). Options include “Y” and “N”. If you set this to “Y,” then you must also verify the merchant transaction settings are as follows: · Allow Non-referenced Credits = Yes · Credits may exceed original transaction amount = Yes
Ignore AVS	This parameter controls whether the authorization process takes the Address Verification System (AVS) into account. AVS refers to the street address or PO Box number. To comply with PA-DSS standards, this AVS code is not stored in the database. This parameter was added in the 7.3.0 release. Set this parameter to “N” for a higher level of security. This parameter applies to both back office and web transactions.
Ignore CVV	This parameter controls whether the authorization process takes the CVV or CVV2 code into account. To comply with PA-DSS standards, this CVV code is not stored in the database. This parameter was added in the 7.3.0 release. Set this parameter to “N” for a higher level of security.
Ignore ZIP	This parameter controls whether the authorization process takes the zip code or postal code into account. Even though the US has a ZIP +4 code, this parameter only takes the first five digits of the zip code or postal code into account. To comply with PA-DSS standards, this AVS code is not stored in the database. This parameter was added in the 7.3 release. Set this parameter to “N” for a higher level of security.
Merchant Logon	The user ID for logging on to the PayPal Manager website. This is required to process transactions.
Merchant Password	The password used for logging on to the PayPal Manager website. This is required to process transactions. Once entered, this password will display encrypted. This is necessary for PA-DSS compliance.
Partner	The partner name used for logging on to the PayPal Manager website. This is required to process transactions.
Pre Validate Credit Card	Added with the 7.3.0 release, this parameter controls whether organizations pre-validate a credit card by generating a zero-dollar authorization before processing the credit card for full authorization. The pre-validation tests the CVV or AVS so that the customer has the opportunity to provide the correct information. When this parameter is set to “Y” and either “Ignore AVS” = “N” or “Ignore CVV” = “N”, then the system will generate a zero-dollar authorization to validate the account information before processing the credit card for full authorization.
Use Account Verification	Added with the 7.3.0 release, if your processor does not support zero-dollar authorizations, then you can set this to “N”. The default is “Y”.
Vendor	The vendor name used for logging on to the PayPal Manager website. This is required to process transactions.
