GlobalCharge Control

Properties   Methods   Events   Config Settings   Errors  

The GlobalCharge control is used to authorize credit card transactions with the Global Payments system, using the Global Transport Direct API. This control supports Direct Marketing, e-Commerce, Retail, and Restaurant environments, and allows for simple, direct, secure communication to the Global Transport TLS/SSL gateway through a standard Internet connection. This control can be integrated into web pages or stand-alone Point Of Sale applications. Because all TLS/SSL communications are handled inside the control, any application or web page can be deployed without the need for expensive dedicated TLS/SSL servers.

Syntax

GlobalCharge

Remarks

First, set the UserId and Password with your login information. If you're submitting test transactions and are using a test account, set the Server to the certification URL ("https://certapia.globalpay.com").

After the merchant information is setup, you may enter transaction data. When the credit card's CardEntryDataSource is Manually Entered, the merchant should fill the CardNumber, CardExpMonth, and CardExpYear properties. Address Verification Service (AVS) data may be sent by filling the CustomerAddress and CustomerZip properties. For swiped transactions (Retail and Restaurant industries) the CardEntryDataSource should be set to edsMagneticStripe and, the CardMagneticStripe property should be filled with the trackdata read from the card. In addition, the TransactionAmount should be set with the total amount for the transaction.

Now simply call the Sale or AuthOnly method to send the authorization to the Global Transport Server.

The status of the authorization request will be stored in the ResponseCode property, with human-readable text appearing in the ResponseText property. There are several other Response properties which will contain data that should be logged.

You may also use this control to Capture previously made AuthOnly transactions, void (VoidTransaction), Refund, and Reverse transactions, and validate address data without charging the card using AVSOnly.

Once a transaction request is approved, the transaction is added to the current batch on the Global Transport Server, and the money in the customer's account is blocked and tagged for the merchant. The transaction must go through Settlement in order for the blocked money to be transferred to the merchant's account.

If your Global Transport account is setup with the Host Auto Settle feature, you need take no further action. The Global Transport system will close the current open batch at a designated time each day. This means that there is no end of day batch processing required from the merchant.

If your account is not set up to automatically settle transactions at the end of the day, then at the end of the day you will need to use the GlobalBatchMgr control to capture the transactions in the batch.

Data Type

Integer

SSLCertSubject Property (GlobalCharge Control)

This is the subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

Syntax

globalchargecontrol.SSLCertSubject[=string]

Default Value

""

Remarks

This is the subject of the certificate used for client authentication.

This property must be set after all other certificate properties are set. When this property is set, a search is performed in the current certificate store to locate a certificate with a matching subject.

If a matching certificate is found, the property is set to the full subject of the matching certificate.

If an exact match is not found, the store is searched for subjects containing the value of the property.

If a match is still not found, the property is set to an empty string, and no certificate is selected.

The special value "*" picks a random certificate in the certificate store.

The certificate subject is a comma-separated list of distinguished name fields and values. For instance, "CN=www.server.com, OU=test, C=US, E=support@nsoftware.com". Common fields and their meanings are as follows:

If a field value contains a comma, it must be quoted.

Data Type

String

SSLProvider Property (GlobalCharge Control)

This specifies the SSL/TLS implementation to use.

Syntax

globalchargecontrol.SSLProvider[=integer]

Possible Values

sslpAutomatic(0), 
sslpPlatform(1), 
sslpInternal(2)

Default Value

0

Remarks

This property specifies the SSL/TLS implementation to use. In most cases the default value of 0 (Automatic) is recommended and should not be changed. When set to 0 (Automatic) the control will select whether to use the platform implementation or the internal implementation depending on the operating system as well as the TLS version being used.

Possible values are:

In most cases using the default value (Automatic) is recommended. The control will select a provider depending on the current platform.

When Automatic is selected the platform implementation is used by default. When TLS 1.3 is enabled via SSLEnabledProtocols the internal implementation is used.

Data Type

Integer

SSLServerCertEncoded Property (GlobalCharge Control)

This is the certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded).

Syntax

globalchargecontrol.SSLServerCertEncoded

Default Value

""

Remarks

This is the certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded). This property is used to assign a specific certificate. The SSLServerCertStore and SSLServerCertSubject properties also may be used to specify a certificate.

When SSLServerCertEncoded is set, a search is initiated in the current SSLServerCertStore for the private key of the certificate. If the key is found, SSLServerCertSubject is updated to reflect the full subject of the selected certificate; otherwise, SSLServerCertSubject is set to an empty string.

To read or write binary data to the property, a Variant (Byte Array) version is provided in .SSLServerCertEncodedB.

This property is read-only and not available at design time.

Data Type

Binary String

TaxAmount Property (GlobalCharge Control)

Required for the lowest rate on Commercial/Purchasing card (Level 2) transactions.

Syntax

globalchargecontrol.TaxAmount[=string]

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property may be up to 9 characters, in the format "DDDDDD.CC", and be left-justified with no fill. (eg: "1.99"). Note that the TaxAmount should be included in the total TransactionAmount. For example, if the sale price of the transaction is $10.00, and the tax on the transaction is $0.60 (for a grand total of $10.60), the TransactionAmount property should contain "10.60" and the TaxAmount property should contain "0.60".

Data Type

String

Timeout Property (GlobalCharge Control)

A timeout for the control.

Syntax

globalchargecontrol.Timeout[=integer]

Default Value

60

Remarks

If the Timeout property is set to 0, all operations will run uninterrupted until successful completion or an error condition is encountered.

If Timeout is set to a positive value, the control will wait for the operation to complete before returning control.

The control will use DoEvents to enter an efficient wait loop during any potential waiting period, making sure that all system events are processed immediately as they arrive. This ensures that the host application does not "freeze" and remains responsive.

If Timeout expires, and the operation is not yet complete, the control fails with an error.

Please note that by default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts, i.e. the timeout period is extended by Timeout seconds when any amount of data is successfully sent or received.

The default value for the Timeout property is 60 seconds.

Data Type

Integer

TransactionAmount Property (GlobalCharge Control)

Amount to be charged from (or refunded to) the card.

Syntax

globalchargecontrol.TransactionAmount[=string]

Default Value

""

Remarks

This is required for Sale, AuthOnly, Refund, and Force transactions. It is optional or ignored for all others. The transaction amount may be up to 11 characters in length, and must be in the format "DDDDDDDD.CC", and be left-justified with no fill (eg: "1.99"). This must always be a positive, non-zero value.

Note that the TransactionAmount should include any GratuityAmount and/or TaxAmount. For example, if the sale price of the transaction is $10.00, and the tip on the transaction is $3.00 (for a grand total of $13.00), the TransactionAmount property should contain "13.00" and the GratuityAmount property should contain "3.00".

Data Type

String

UserId Property (GlobalCharge Control)

UserId for authentication with the Global Payments Server .

Syntax

globalchargecontrol.UserId[=string]

Default Value

""

Remarks

The UserId will be supplied to you by Global Payments.

Data Type

String

AuthOnly Method (GlobalCharge Control)

Sends an AuthOnly transaction to the host.

Syntax

globalchargecontrol.AuthOnly 

Remarks

An Auth Only transaction is used to verify and reserve the cardholder's open-to-buy funds available at that time. This transaction is NOT added to the open batch. In order to settle (be paid) for this transaction, the merchant must run a Capture transaction using the original ResponsePNRef obtained during this Auth Only transaction. Only then will the transaction be added to the open batch. Typically any funds blocked with a Sale or Auth Only transaction are reserved for approximately seven (7) to ten (10) days. This may vary from issuer to issuer. Sample transactions follow.

AuthOnly transaction with Track 1 data: control.CardEntryDataSource = edsMagneticStripe control.CardMagneticStripe = "5499990123456781=15125025432198712345" control.TransactionAmount = "1.00" control.AuthOnly() Manually keyed AuthOnly transaction: control.CardEntryDataSource = edsManuallyEntered control.CardNumber = "4444333322221111" control.CardExpMonth = 1 control.CardExpYear = 2010 control.TransactionAmount = "1.00" control.AuthOnly()

AVSOnly Method (GlobalCharge Control)

Performs AVS and CVV card validation checks without actually making a transaction.

Syntax

globalchargecontrol.AVSOnly 

Remarks

Please note that an AVSOnly transaction will not place a hold on any funds and will not reduce the cardholder's limit to buy. Also, an AVSOnly transaction will not place a transaction in the batch and no money will be transferred from the cardholder's account to the merchant's account. An AVS Only transaction should be used if the amount of the transaction is unknown but the merchant would like to perform validation that the card is good and the address matches what is on file at the issuer.

Once the amount of the transaction is known, process either a new Sale transaction, a RepeatSale using the PNRef returned in the AVS-Only Response, or a AuthOnly and then a Capture. Do not process a Force or Capture to "finalize" an AVSOnly transaction.

Note: The AVSOnly transaction is not supported in the eCommerce market.

BalanceInquiry Method (GlobalCharge Control)

A Credit Card Balance Inquiry transaction displays the remaining balance on a pre-paid credit card.

Syntax

globalchargecontrol.BalanceInquiry 

Remarks

The only properties required for this transaction are the CardNumber, CardExpMonth, and CardExpYear, however you may submit the CustomerAddress and CustomerZip for Address Validation, and the CardCVVData property for CVV checking if so desired.

The balance of the prepaid card will be stored in ResponseBalance. If the card specified is not a pre-paid credit card, the ResponseBalance will either be empty or contain the text "BALANCE NOT AVAILABLE".

Capture Method (GlobalCharge Control)

Sends a capture transaction to the Global Payments Server.

Syntax

globalchargecontrol.Capture PNRef

Remarks

Capture (Post Auth Capture) transactions are typically used when a merchant has previously utilized the AuthOnly method. A Capture transaction adds the transaction to the current open batch. To process a capture, call Capture with the PNRef parameter set to the PNRef returned in response from the transaction for which you wish to capture and set the TransactionAmount to the amount you wish to capture. You may issue a partial capture for any value up to the original authorized amount. For example: Full Capture: control.TransactionAmount = "15.00"; // Original authorization was for $15.00, so this is a full capture control.Capture("1233513541"); // "1233513541" is the PNRef from the original transaction Partial Capture: control.TransactionAmount = "10.00"; // Original authorization was for $15.00, so this is a partial capture control.Capture("1233513541"); // PNRef from the original authorization response

Note: Only one Capture can be processed per AuthOnly. To process a second Capture on an AuthOnly you must first use VoidTransaction to Void the first Capture.

Config Method (GlobalCharge Control)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

globalchargecontrol.Config ConfigurationString

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every control. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the control.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the control, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

Credit Method (GlobalCharge Control)

Credits a cardholder's account.

Syntax

globalchargecontrol.Credit 

Remarks

This transaction adds funds to the cardholder's account. This can be performed any time and in any batch, and unlike the Refund method, is not based on a previous transaction.

Manually keyed credit: control.CardNumber = "4444333322221111" control.CardExpMonth = 1 control.CardExpYear = 2015 control.CardEntryDataSource = edsManuallyEntered control.TransactionAmount = "1.00" 'credits $1.00 control.Credit()

Force Method (GlobalCharge Control)

Sends a Voice Authorization (Force) transaction to the Global Payments Server.

Syntax

globalchargecontrol.Force ApprovalCode

Remarks

Force transactions are typically used when a customer's card was declined, but the merchant was able to call the issuer and receive a voice authorization code. The Force method will add the transaction into the current open batch. The TransactionAmount, Card, and all other data must match exactly to the information given over the phone to receive the voice authorization, and the ApprovalCode parameter must be set with the authorization code you received. For example control.TransactionAmount = "1.00"; control.Force("123456"); // value from voice auth or previous AuthOnly trans

Interrupt Method (GlobalCharge Control)

Interrupt the current method.

Syntax

globalchargecontrol.Interrupt 

Remarks

If there is no method in progress, Interrupt simply returns, doing nothing.

Refund Method (GlobalCharge Control)

Refunds a previous transaction.

Syntax

globalchargecontrol.Refund PNRef

Remarks

This method issues a refund based on a previously authorized and settled transaction (Either a Sale, Capture, or Force). A transaction can only be refunded if it exists in a previous batch. (If the transaction is in the current open batch, use VoidTransaction instead). To process a refund, call Refund with the PNRef parameter set to the PNRef returned in response from the transaction for which you wish to issue a refund and set the TransactionAmount to the amount you wish to refund. You may issue a partial refund for any value up to the original sale amount. For example:

Full Refund: control.TransactionAmount = "25.00"; // Original transaction was for $25.00, so this is a full refund control.Refund("123456"); // "123456" is the PNRef from the original transaction Partial Refund: control.TransactionAmount = "15.00"; // Original transaction was for $25.00, so this is a partial refund control.Refund("123456"); // "123456" is the PNRef from the original transaction

If you do not know the PNRef from the original transaction, use Credit instead.

Note: Partial refunds are supported regardless of the time and date or batch status (open or closed). To perform a partial refunds, pass any TransactionAmount that is less than the original transaction amount to the Refund transaction as per the example above.

RepeatSale Method (GlobalCharge Control)

Used to submit a recurring transaction.

Syntax

globalchargecontrol.RepeatSale PNRef

Remarks

The RepeatSale transaction can be used by merchants to enable simplified re-use of cards previously used by a customer, as well as for recurring transactions. By using the Global Transport Gateway's RepeatSale transaction instead of a new Sale transaction, sensitive cardholder data such as the card number and expiration date do not have to be stored locally by the merchant, which reduces the likelihood of that cardholder data being compromised. Because all sensitive cardholder data is stored by Global Payments, the merchant only needs to store PNRef numbers.

Keep in mind that the recurring logic (how often the transactions are processed, the length of contract, etc.) must be managed by the merchant and is not a function of the RepeatSale transaction feature of the Global Transport Gateway. Please note that PNRef numbers and cardholder data are only stored for 24 months from the date of the last activity on the Global Transport Gateway.

In order to perform a RepeatSale transaction, an initial Sale (or Partial Authorization) transaction must occur first. Once the original transaction is processed, the merchant should store the PNRef number that is returned in the transaction response. The merchant should always use the PNRef number of the most recent RepeatSale transaction Response for future re-use or recurring payments. An example is shown below: control.UserId = "4dpayments_ecom"; control.Password = "Passw0rd"; control.Card.Number = "4003000123456781"; control.Card.ExpMonth = 12; control.Card.ExpYear = 15; control.TransactionAmount = "8.00"; control.InvoiceNumber = "1234567890"; control.Sale("564474"); String pnref = control.Response.PNRef; control.Reset(); control.UserId = "4dpayments_ecom"; control.Password = "Passw0rd"; control.TransactionAmount = "8.00"; control.InvoiceNumber = "1234567890"; control.RepeatSale(pnref);

Reset Method (GlobalCharge Control)

Clears all properties to their default values.

Syntax

globalchargecontrol.Reset 

Remarks

This method clears all properties to their default values.

Reverse Method (GlobalCharge Control)

Reverses a transaction in the current batch.

Syntax

globalchargecontrol.Reverse PNRef

Remarks

A credit card Reversal transaction removes an unsettled, previously-submitted transaction. The PNRef parameter should be set to the PNRef from the transaction response of the transaction you wish to cancel.

A Reverse transaction differs from a VoidTransaction in one key way. A standard credit card sale puts a hold on the cardholder's open-to-buy funds until the batch is settled. If submitting a VoidTransaction, no money changes hands but a hold on the funds remains for a certain amount of time (usually around 7 days, depending on the issuing bank). A Reverse transaction releases the hold on the funds, and makes the funds available again immediately.

When two Reverse requests for the same transaction are submitted, a Reversal only occurs on the first transaction. If a Reversal request is submitted on a transaction which has already been reversed, Global Transport returns a "NO TRANS FOUND" message in the Response. Some standard card issuers may not support a Reversal. In this case, Global Transport returns a "DECLINE" response message. In this case, you should void it with the VoidTransaction method instead.

Sale Method (GlobalCharge Control)

Sends a Sale transaction to the host.

Syntax

globalchargecontrol.Sale 

Remarks

A basic Sale transaction. This transaction decrements the cardholder's open-to-buy funds for the sale amount. This transaction is automatically added to the current open batch, and will be settled after the current batch is settled. The batch settlement may be set up to occur automatically, or you can control when the batch settles with the GlobalBatchMgr control. Sample transactions follow.

Sale transaction with Track 1 data: control.CardEntryDataSource = edsMagneticStripe control.CardMagneticStripe = "5499990123456781=15125025432198712345" control.TransactionAmount = "1.00" control.Sale() Manually keyed Sale transaction: control.CardEntryDataSource = edsManuallyEntered control.CardNumber = "4444333322221111" control.CardExpMonth = 1 control.CardExpYear = 2015 control.TransactionAmount = "1.00" control.Sale()

TipAdjustment Method (GlobalCharge Control)

This methods adds a tip to the original sale transaction.

Syntax

globalchargecontrol.TipAdjustment PNRef, GratuityAmount

Remarks

To add a tip to a transaction simply call TipAdjustment with the PNRef parameter set to the PNRef of the transaction you wish to adjust, and the GratuityAmount to the amount you wish to add.

VoidTransaction Method (GlobalCharge Control)

Voids a transaction in the current batch.

Syntax

globalchargecontrol.VoidTransaction PNRef

Remarks

A Void removes transactions from an open batch prior to settlement, to correct same-day transaction mistakes. A transaction can only be voided if it exists in the current open batch. To do so, call VoidTransaction with the PNRef parameter set to the PNRef of the original transaction. This only works for transactions that are still in the current open batch. If the batch that contained the target transaction has already been settled, you must use the Refund or Credit methods instead.

Note that since AuthOnly transactions are not added to the current batch, they cannot be voided. Examples follow.

control.CardNumber = "4444333322221111" control.CardExpMonth = 1 control.CardExpYear = 2015 control.TransactionAmount = "1.00" control.Sale() refNumToVoid = control.ResponsePNRef ... more sale transactions ... 'All that's needed for a void: control.VoidTransaction(refNumToVoid)

Error Event (GlobalCharge Control)

Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

Sub globalchargecontrol_Error(ErrorCode As Integer, Description As String)

Remarks

The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the control fails with an error.

The ErrorCode parameter contains an error code, and the Description parameter contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.

SSLServerAuthentication Event (GlobalCharge Control)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

Sub globalchargecontrol_SSLServerAuthentication(CertEncoded As String, CertSubject As String, CertIssuer As String, Status As String, Accept As Boolean)

Remarks

During this event, the client can decide whether or not to continue with the connection process. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether or not to continue.

When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string OK). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.

SSLStatus Event (GlobalCharge Control)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Syntax

Sub globalchargecontrol_SSLStatus(Message As String)

Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. This event tracks the progress of the connection.

Status Event (GlobalCharge Control)

Shows the progress of the Global Payments connection.

Syntax

Sub globalchargecontrol_Status(Message As String)

Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. Used to track the progress of the connection.
