PTechDebit Component
Properties Methods Events Configuration Settings Errors
The PTECHDEBIT component is used to complete debit card transactions with the Paymentech NetConnect system on the Tampa platform. This component supports only Retail, Restaurant, and Hotel environments, and allows for simple, direct, secure communication to the Paymentech TLS/SSL gateway through a standard Internet connection. This component can be integrated into Point Of Sale applications. Because all TLS/SSL communications are handled inside the component, any application can be deployed without the need for expensive dedicated TLS/SSL servers.

DPayments.DPaymentsSDK.Ptechdebit
Remarks
The PTechDebit component contains a subset of the PTechCharge component's functionality. It only authorizes debit card transactions for the Retail, Restaurant, and Hotel IndustryTypes. This component provides a much simpler interface for processing debit cards (and only debit cards), but otherwise works much like the PTechCharge component.
First, set the MerchantNumber, TerminalNumber, ClientNumber, UserId, and Password with the information given to you when you signed up for Paymentech service. You should also set your IndustryType and PINCapability at this time.
Next, set the CardMagneticStripe property with Track 2 data read off the card. PIN-based Debit card transactions cannot be manually entered, and are always card-present transactions. Sending Track 1 data in the CardMagneticStripe property will result in a failed. You must also set the DebitKSN and DebitPIN retrieved from the PIN pad after the customer enters his PIN.
Finally, set the TransactionAmount and, and if applicable any DebitCashBack amount. Then call Sale to send the transaction to the Paymentech Server for processing.
The result of the authorization request will be stored in the Response property. The Code field will contain the status of the request and the Text field will contain the human-readable response message. The contents of the Response should be logged after a successful transaction.
Debit card transactions are instant funds transfers. There is no block placed on the debit card, funds are immediately removed and sent to the merchant. Therefore, only the Host Capture settlement mode is supported. At the end of the day you should release the current batch using the PTechHostSettle component (the batch may contain other authorizations that were made using different components from this product. See the documentation for the other components you are using for more information).
