TSYSHealthCare Control

Properties   Methods   Events   Config Settings   Errors  

The TSYSHEALTHCARE control is designed to be a simple interface for those wishing to add Healthcare Auto- Substantiation (IIAS) support without redesigning their entire payment system. This control is used to authorize FSA cards in a Retail environment, where the customer is purchasing products or services in person. Both full and partial authorizations are supported.

Syntax

TSYSHealthCare

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 TSYSHealthCare control has the ability to authorize transactions for the Retail, Direct Marketing (including E-Commerce), and Grocery Store IndustryTypes. However, at this time TSYS is only allowing IIAS Auto-Substantiation transactions in the Retail environment.

The TSYSHealthCare control makes authorizing IIAS transactions 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 very similar to that of the TSYSRetail control. The basic steps are outlined below:

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

control.Merchant.BankId = "999995"; //(BIN number) control.Merchant.CategoryCode = "5999"; control.Merchant.Name = "test merchant"; control.Merchant.Number = "123456789012"; control.Merchant.City = "Beverly Hills"; control.Merchant.State = "CA"; control.Merchant.StoreNumber = "5999"; control.Merchant.TerminalNumber = "1515"; control.Merchant.Zip = "90210"; control.IndustryType = itRetail;

Now, set the credit card properties. If available, you should use Track1 data. Some cards may have a corrupt or missing track1, and for these cards you may use track2 data. If the card is not readable, you may also manually enter the card number and expiration date. The following example shows a transaction sent with track1 data.

control.Card.MagneticStripe = "%B4444333322221111^SMITH/JOHN J ^031210100000033301000000008000000?"; control.Card.EntryDataSource = edsTrack1;

Next set the TransactionAmount, TotalMedicalAmount, and optionally any additional healthcare-related amounts. Up to three additional amounts may be included, but their sums cannot exceed the TotalMedicalAmount. The available amounts include: ClinicAmount, DentalAmount, PrescriptionAmount, and VisionAmount.

control.TransactionAmount = "10000"; // $100.00 control.TotalMedicalAmount = "10000"; // this cannot exceed the TransactionAmount control.PrescriptionAmount = "5000"; // $50.00

There are several additional properties in the TSYSHealthCare control that are specific to healthcare transactions. The PartialAuthorization property indicates whether you allow partial authorizations. If TotalMedicalAmount is less than the TransactionAmount, the transaction will likely be declined as FSA cards are to be used solely for medical expenses. Likewise, if the FSA card does not have enough of a balance to cover the total amount, the card may be declined. However, if you set PartialAuthorization to True the host may authorize the transaction for a lesser amount. In this case the ResponseCode will be "10" instead of "00", and the ResponseAuthorizedAmount will contain the amount that was actually authorized (this amount may or may not be equal to the TotalMedicalAmount). Note: if the cardholder does not have additional funds to cover the remainder of the TransactionAmount and wishes to cancel the transaction, you must use the TSYSReversal control to reverse the authorization and instantly release funds back to the cardholder.

The Visa Merchant Verification Value, or VisaMVV is needed for Visa transactions in order to qualify for the best interchange rate.

Finally, the Substantiated property is a MasterCard-specific property that indicates if the transaction has been substantiated in real-time. Meaning, it tells the host whether the merchant verified the purchased items against an Inventory Information Approval System (IIAS).

After all of these properties are set, simply call the Authorize method to authorize the transaction. When the control receives a response from the Vital/TSYS servers, the result of the authorization will be displayed in several Response properties. The ResponseCode indicates whether the transaction was approved, and the ResponseAVSResult indicates whether the customer's billing address on file with his credit card company matches the information presented in the CustomerAddress and CustomerZip properties. The remaining properties provide additional information about the transaction.

Once an authorization request is approved, the money in the customer's account is blocked and tagged for the merchant. This transaction must go through the Batch Settlement process in order for the blocked money to be transferred to the merchant account. This is done by passing the XML aggregate returned from the GetDetailAggregate method to the TSYSSettle control. Usually, a Batch Settlement of all authorized transactions is done at the end of each business day.

CardIsEncrypted Property (TSYSHealthCare Control)

Determines whether data set to the Number or MagneticStripe properties is validated.

Syntax

tsyshealthcarecontrol.CardIsEncrypted[=boolean]

Default Value

False

Remarks

Determines whether data set to the CardNumber or CardMagneticStripe fields is validated.

By default, when the CardNumber or CardMagneticStripe fields are set, the value will be validated and normalized. For instance, "4444-33332222 1111" will be normalized as "4444333322221111" and CardMagneticStripe data will be parsed for the track specified by CardEntryDataSource. However, any other non-numerical data entered will cause an exception to be thrown. It may be useful in some gateways to send other data in the CardNumber or CardMagneticStripe fields, and this can be accomplished by setting IsEncrypted to true. However, please note that in doing so automatic calculation of the CardType may be affected, and the card number will not be verified.

This property is not available at design time.

Data Type

Boolean

CardMagneticStripe Property (TSYSHealthCare Control)

Track data read off of the card's magnetic stripe.

Syntax

tsyshealthcarecontrol.CardMagneticStripe[=string]

Default Value

""

Remarks

Track data read off of the card's magnetic stripe.

This field is used as part of the Address Verification Service (AVS) and contains the customer's street address as it appears on their monthly statement. Only the street number, street name, and apartment number are required in this field. City and state are not included, and the zip code is set in the CustomerZip property.

This property is an alphanumeric field. Due to concerns with International addresses and changing specifications, the component does not do any processing on the address. The address will be included in the authorization request exactly as you set it.

Per TSYS specs, the following rules apply:

• In the address, numbers are not spelled out. "First Street" becomes "1ST Street," "Second" becomes "2ND," and so on.
• There must be a (space) between two consecutive data elements that are only numeric.

Note the following examples:

• "1234 56th Street" is equivalent to: "1234 56Street"
• "1234 56th Street" is NOT equivalent to: "123456Street" //do not strip all spaces between two numbers
• "1391 ELM STREET" is equivalent to: "1391ELMSTREET"
• "P.O. BOX 24356" is equivalent to: "POBOX24356"

The length of this property is 19 characters, and any string longer than this fails with an error. If the customer's address is much greater than the length of this field, it is admissible to include only the street number in this field.

This property is alphanumeric, with a maximum length of nine characters. Spaces and dashes are automatically stripped when the property is set.

Data Type

String

PartialAuthorization Property (TSYSHealthCare Control)

Indicates whether partial authorizations are to be supported for Health Care Auto-Substantiation transactions.

Syntax

tsyshealthcarecontrol.PartialAuthorization[=boolean]

Default Value

False

Remarks

If the TotalMedicalAmount is not the same as the TransactionAmount the FSA card may be declined, as FSA cards may only be used for healthcare-related purchases. However, if you set PartialAuthorization to true, the transaction may be authorized for the TotalMedicalAmount. The customer must then make up the difference between the TransactionAmount and TotalMedicalAmount via some other form of payment (cash, credit, check, etc).

The total amount authorized by TSYS will be returned in the ResponseAuthorizedAmount. For instance, if the TransactionAmount is $50, but the TotalMedicalAmount is $42, the card is charged for $42.00 and the ResponseAuthorizedAmount will be "42.00". The merchant may then collect the remaining $8 in cash, check, credit card, or any other acceptable form of payment.

Data Type

Boolean

PrescriptionAmount Property (TSYSHealthCare Control)

Total amount of Prescription/Rx items for Healthcare auto-substantiation.

Syntax

tsyshealthcarecontrol.PrescriptionAmount[=string]

Default Value

""

Remarks

The sum of all auto-substantiation items cannot be more than the TotalMedicalAmount, which must be equal to or less than the TransactionAmount.

This must be presented with an implied decimal point. For example, US $10.00 must be represented as 1000, and $0.10 is likewise simply 10.

Data Type

String

ResponseApprovalCode Property (TSYSHealthCare Control)

Contains an authorization code when a transaction has been approved.

Syntax

tsyshealthcarecontrol.ResponseApprovalCode

Default Value

""

Remarks

Contains an authorization code when a transaction has been approved.

This six character property contains an authorization code when a transaction has been approved. If the ResponseCode returned indicates that the transaction has not been approved, then the contents of the property should be ignored. The ResponseApprovalCode must be stored and submitted in the settlement data capture record.

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

Data Type

String

ResponseAuthorizedAmount Property (TSYSHealthCare Control)

Amount actually used from the card (used when supporting partial redemptions).

Syntax

tsyshealthcarecontrol.ResponseAuthorizedAmount

Default Value

""

Remarks

Amount actually used from the card (used when supporting partial redemptions).

The ResponseAuthorizedAmount represents the actual approved transaction amount when a transaction request is received from a client using the PartialRedemption option. If PartialAuthorization is set to True, then ResponseAuthorizedAmount will be the amount of the TransactionAmount that was actually covered by the remaining balance on the card when the requested authorization amount exceeds the available card balance.

For example, a card may have an available balance of $7.50, but the cardholder does not know this. Rather than submit a Balance Inquiry transaction followed by a Purchase transaction, the merchant can use the PartialAuthorization option. If a purchase for $10.00 is attempted on the card with a $7.50 balance, the system will respond with an approval, and the ResponseAuthorizedAmount will represent the approved amount of $7.50.In this case, the ResponseCode will also be "00" (Approval). The merchant must tender the difference between the requested TransactionAmount and the ResponseAuthorizedAmount using another form of payment. If the transaction is fully covered by the balance remaining on the FSA card (ie, the current available balance is greater than the TransactionAmount) then this property will be "0" or "".

If the card has a zero balance before submitting this transaction, it will be declined regardless of the value of PartialAuthorization.

This property is read-only.

Data Type

String

ResponseBalance Property (TSYSHealthCare Control)

Available balance remaining on card.

Syntax

tsyshealthcarecontrol.ResponseBalance

Default Value

""

Remarks

Available balance remaining on card.

This property contains the Available Balance remaining on the card following the transaction that was just authorized. It represents the balance on the card prior to the transaction, minus the TransactionAmount from this transaction. For example, if an FSA card has a $20.00 balance prior to a $15.00 authorization, then the ResponseBalance will reflect an available balance of "500" ($20.00 - $15.00 = $5.00).

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 read-only.

A response code of "85" represents a successful card verification (when the TransactionType set to dcCardAuthentication). A response code of "10" indicates that the transaction was partially approved for a lesser amount. In such cases, the partially authorized amount can be retrieved via ResponseAuthorizedAmount config. All other response codes represent non-approved requests. Do NOT interpret all non-approved response codes as "DECLINED".

This property is required when submitting a Healthcare Auto-substantiation transaction, and should indicate the sum total of all VisionAmounts, PrescriptionAmounts, ClinicAmounts, and DentalAmounts, plus any additional healthcare-related charges that do not fall under those categories. The category-specific amounts are optional, but at the minimum the TotalMedicalAmount must be present for Healthcare auto-substantiation.

If other amounts are present, the TotalMedicalAmount must be greater than or equal to the total of all other amounts. If the TotalMedicalAmount is left blank, the transaction will be sent as a regular Retail transaction, without the healthcare indicator. If you wish to send a transaction with the healthcare indicator, but no TotalMedicalAmount, set TotalMedicalAmount to "0".

If the transaction is only for healthcare related costs, the TotalMedicalAmount should be equal to the TransactionAmount. However, it is possible to authorize a transaction that includes non-healthcare items, where the TransactionAmount is higher than the TotalMedicalAmount. It may be required that you set PartialAuthorization to True in order to support this functionality.

This must be presented with an implied decimal point. For example, US $10.00 must be represented as 1000, and $0.10 is likewise simply 10.

Remarks

This method sends an authorization request to the Vital/TSYS transaction server. If the authorization request was successful, the ResponseCode property will contain "00". If it's a partial authorization the ResponseCode will contain "10".

An authorization blocks funds on the customer's credit card, but does not actually transfer funds. In order for funds to be transferred and the transaction completed, you must settle the transaction. To do this, you must pass an XML aggregate containing the results of the transaction to the Settlement control. For example:

TSYSHealthCare.Authorize() TSYSSettle.DetailRecordCount = 1 TSYSSettle.DetailRecordAggregate(0) = TSYSHealthCare.GetDetailAggregate()

Config Method (TSYSHealthCare Control)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

tsyshealthcarecontrol.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.

EligibilityInquiry Method (TSYSHealthCare Control)

Healthcare Eligibility Inquiry (Visa and MasterCard Only).

Syntax

tsyshealthcarecontrol.EligibilityInquiry 

Remarks

This method does not send an authorization, but instead it sends an authentication request.

Note: When calling this method CardPresent must be set to 'True'

GetDetailAggregate Method (TSYSHealthCare Control)

Returns an aggregate containing details of this transaction, which is then used for settlement.

Syntax

tsyshealthcarecontrol.GetDetailAggregate 

Remarks

This method returns an aggregate containing all of the required data to send a transaction to settlement. This aggregate must be passed to the TSYSSettle control's DetailAggregate array property in order to settle the transaction. If you wish to view or change any part of the aggregate (such as adding a gratuity or additional info for an Installment payment), you may use the TSYSDetailRecord control to do so.

Note: This method may only be called after a successful authorization. If the authorization was not successful the method fails with an error.

An example of how this method is used is shown below:

TSYSRetail.Authorize() TSYSSettle.DetailRecordCount = 1 TSYSSettle.DetailAggregate[0] = TSYSRetail.GetDetailAggregate()

Interrupt Method (TSYSHealthCare Control)

Interrupts the current action.

Syntax

tsyshealthcarecontrol.Interrupt 

Remarks

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

Reset Method (TSYSHealthCare Control)

Clears all properties to their default values.

Syntax

tsyshealthcarecontrol.Reset 

Remarks

This method clears all properties to their default values.

Connected Event (TSYSHealthCare Control)

Fired immediately after a connection completes (or fails).

Syntax

Sub tsyshealthcarecontrol_Connected(StatusCode As Integer, Description As String)

Remarks

If the connection is made normally, StatusCode is 0, and Description is "OK".

If the connection fails, StatusCode has the error code returned by the TCP/IP stack. Description contains a description of this code. The value of StatusCode is equal to the value of the error. The corresponding Visual Basic error code can be obtained by adding 15001 to this value.

Please refer to the Error Codes section for more information.

DataPacketIn Event (TSYSHealthCare Control)

Fired when receiving a data packet from the transaction server.

Syntax

Sub tsyshealthcarecontrol_DataPacketIn(DataPacket As String)

Remarks

This event fires when a packet is received. The entire data packet (including all framing and error detection characters) is contained in the parameter "DataPacket". This parameter may be inspected for advanced troubleshooting, or to extract additional response properties beyond the scope of this control.

DataPacketOut Event (TSYSHealthCare Control)

Fired when sending a data packet to the transaction server.

Syntax

Sub tsyshealthcarecontrol_DataPacketOut(DataPacket As String)

Remarks

This event fires right before each data packet is sent. The entire data packet (including all framing and error detection characters) is contained in the parameter "DataPacket". This parameter may be inspected for advanced troubleshooting, or may be modified to support additional features beyond the scope of this control.

Disconnected Event (TSYSHealthCare Control)

Fired when a connection is closed.

Syntax

Sub tsyshealthcarecontrol_Disconnected(StatusCode As Integer, Description As String)

Remarks

If the connection is broken normally, StatusCode is 0, and Description is "OK".

If the connection is broken for any other reason, StatusCode has the error code returned by Winsock. Description contains a description of this code. The value of StatusCode is equal to the value of the Winsock error. The corresponding Visual Basic error code can be obtained by adding 15001 to this value.

Please refer to the Error Codes section for more information.

Error Event (TSYSHealthCare Control)

Information about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

Sub tsyshealthcarecontrol_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 (TSYSHealthCare Control)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

Sub tsyshealthcarecontrol_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 (TSYSHealthCare Control)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Syntax

Sub tsyshealthcarecontrol_SSLStatus(Message As String)

Remarks

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