TSYSHCLevel3 Control

Properties   Methods   Events   Config Settings   Errors  

The TSYSHCLevel3 control is used to add Level 3 data to a previously authorized transaction. This control makes adding Level 3 data very easy.

Syntax

TSYSHCLevel3

Remarks

This control allows for simple, direct, secure connection to the Vital/TSYS 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.

The TSYSHCLevel3 control makes adding Level 3 data to a transaction very easy by adding an additional layer of abstraction between the programmer and the protocol. There is no need to deal with raw sockets, TLS/SSL handshakes, or data packet formatting. The steps to setting up the control and authorizing a transaction are outlined below:

First, set the merchant and POS specific properties with setup information acquired from your member bank or processor. For instance:

TSYSHCLevel31.GenKey = "gen_key_value" TSYSHCLevel31.MerchantId = "merchant_id" TSYSHCLevel31.RoutingId = "routing_id"

Next, set properties that contain details about the transaction. At the minimum, you must set a RetrievalNumber and OriginalAmount.

TSYSHCLevel31.RetrievalNumber = TSYSHCRetail1.ResponseRetrievalNumber TSYSHCLevel31.OriginalAmount = TSYSHCRetail1.TransactionAmount

Now, set the Level 3 enhanced data that you wish to add to the transaction. For example: TSYSHCLevel31.CommodityCode = "FAKE" TSYSHCLevel31.NationalTax = "0" TSYSHCLevel31.MerchantTaxId = "merchantTaxId" // Merchant VAT Registration Number TSYSHCLevel31.CustomerTaxId = "customerTaxId" // Customer VAT Registration Number TSYSHCLevel31.DiscountAmount = "0" TSYSHCLevel31.FreightAmount = "0" TSYSHCLevel31.DutyAmount = "0" TSYSHCLevel31.ShipFromZip = "27709" TSYSHCLevel31.DestinationZip = "27709" TSYSHCLevel31.DestinationCountry = "840" TSYSHCLevel31.InvoiceNumber = "VATInvoiceRefNo" TSYSHCLevel31.OrderDate = "111023" // "yyMMdd" TSYSHCLevel31.FreightTaxAmount = "0" TSYSHCLevel31.FreightTaxRate = "0"

If you have any line item details, you can specify them now. Note that LineItemQuantity and LineItemTotal are required to be set when adding line item details.

TSYSHCLevel31.LineItemCount = 2 TSYSHCLevel31.LineItemCommodityCode(0) = "fake" TSYSHCLevel31.LineItemDescription(0) = "hardware" TSYSHCLevel31.LineItemDiscountAmount(0) = "0" TSYSHCLevel31.LineItemDiscountRate(0) = "0" TSYSHCLevel31.LineItemProductCode(0) = "1243320" TSYSHCLevel31.LineItemQuantity(0) = 1 TSYSHCLevel31.LineItemTaxAmount(0) = "3" TSYSHCLevel31.LineItemTaxRate(0) = "0" TSYSHCLevel31.LineItemTotal(0) = "53" TSYSHCLevel31.LineItemUnitCost(0) = "50" TSYSHCLevel31.LineItemUnits(0) = "each" TSYSHCLevel31.LineItemCommodityCode(1) = "fake" TSYSHCLevel31.LineItemDescription(1) = "software" TSYSHCLevel31.LineItemDiscountAmount(1) = "0" TSYSHCLevel31.LineItemDiscountRate(1) = "0" TSYSHCLevel31.LineItemProductCode(1) = "1243321" TSYSHCLevel31.LineItemQuantity(1) = 2 TSYSHCLevel31.LineItemTaxAmount(1) = "3" TSYSHCLevel31.LineItemTaxRate(1) = "0" TSYSHCLevel31.LineItemTotal(1) = "106" TSYSHCLevel31.LineItemUnitCost(1) = "53" TSYSHCLevel31.LineItemUnits(1) = "each"

Finally, submit the level 3 details by calling AdjustTransaction. TSYSHCRetail1.AdjustTransaction()

When the control receives a response from the Vital/TSYS servers, the result of the adjustment will be displayed in several Response properties. The ResponseCode indicates whether the level 3 details were successfully added to the transaction. The remaining properties provide additional information about the transaction.

Once the level 3 details are successfully added, the transaction will be added to the current batch. The transaction must go through the batch settlement process in order for the merchant to receive the funds in his merchant account. This is done automatically via a Scheduled Close Batch event that you have setup on your Host Capture Terminal Profile. Alternatively you can manually close a batch by using the TSYSHCBatchMgr control.

Note: If you intend to add Level 3 data to a transaction, the initial authorization (purchase) should have CaptureMode set to Delay (1). This initiates a delay on the capture, thus providing you with time to add the Level 3 details before the transaction is settled.

This amount is to be presented with an implied decimal point. For example, US $10.00 must be represented as 1000, and $0.10 is likewise simply 10. The allowable number of significant digits as well as the positioning of any implied decimal point is dictated by the designated CurrencyCode configuration setting. In the United States (default), the number of allowable significant digits is seven. Thus the maximum TransactionAmount is "9999999", yielding a US dollar amount of $99,999.99. This field may not contain a negative number.

This property is used for both Visa and MasterCard Corporate Purchasing Cards.

AdjustTransaction Method (TSYSHCLevel3 Control)

Sends Level 3 transaction requests.

Syntax

tsyshclevel3control.AdjustTransaction 

Remarks

This method allows you to add Level 3 data to a previously authorized transaction. If the adjustment request was successful, the ResponseCode property will contain "200". Response will contain additional details about the authorization request.

Minimum required properties:

• GenKey
• MerchantId
• RoutingId
• OriginalAmount
• RetrievalNumber

If you wish to also add LineItems data, the following properties are required to do so:

• LineItemQuantity
• LineItemTotal

When adding LineItems data, the control will send a separate adjustment request for each line item. If a line item request fails to adjust successfully, the control fails with an error. The error message will contain the index of the failed line item. ResponseCode and ResponseText will contain additional details about why the line item failed.

If a timeout occurs during the adjustment request, you will want to use the TSYSHCTransactionDetails control to issue a GetDetails request. If the request was received by the TSYS server, the GetDetails response will contain the adjusted values and no other steps are necessary. If the request was not received by the TSYS server, the GetDetails response will show that the adjusted values were not updated. Therefore the adjustment request should be resent.

Config Method (TSYSHCLevel3 Control)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

tsyshclevel3control.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.

Interrupt Method (TSYSHCLevel3 Control)

Interrupts the current action.

Syntax

tsyshclevel3control.Interrupt 

Remarks

This method interrupts any processing that the control is currently executing.

Reset Method (TSYSHCLevel3 Control)

Syntax

tsyshclevel3control.Reset 

Remarks

This method clears all properties to their default values.

Error Event (TSYSHCLevel3 Control)

Information about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

Sub tsyshclevel3control_Error(ErrorCode As Integer, Description As String)

Remarks

The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing.

ErrorCode contains an error code and Description 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 (TSYSHCLevel3 Control)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

Sub tsyshclevel3control_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 (TSYSHCLevel3 Control)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Syntax

Sub tsyshclevel3control_SSLStatus(Message As String)

Remarks

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