GlobalDebit Component

Properties   Methods   Events   Config Settings   Errors  

The GlobalDebit component is used to authorize debit card transactions with the Global Payments system, using the Global Transport Direct API. This component is supported in the Retail and Restaurant environments, and allows for simple, direct, secure communication to the Global Transport 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.

Syntax

TibcGlobalDebit

Remarks

The GlobalDebit component contains a subset of the GlobalCharge component's functionality. It only authorizes debit card transactions in the Retail and Restaurant industries. It cannot be used for eCommerce accounts. This component provides a much simpler interface for processing debit cards (and only debit cards), but otherwise works much like the GlobalCharge component.

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").

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 transaction. You must also set the KSN and EncryptedPIN properties with data retrieved from the PIN pad after the customer enters their PIN.

Finally, set the TransactionAmount and if applicable, any CashBack amount. Then call Sale to send the transaction to the Global Transport Server for processing.

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.

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, there is no ability to capture, void, or reverse debit transactions. You must use the Refund method to return funds to a customer's card. When performing a Refund, the CardMagneticStripe, EncryptedPIN, and KSN are required in addition to the PNRef parameter, which identifies the transaction you're issuing a refund for.

Data Type

Byte Array

SSLCertStorePassword Property (GlobalDebit Component)

If the type of certificate store requires a password, this property is used to specify the password needed to open the certificate store.

Syntax

__property String SSLCertStorePassword = { read=FSSLCertStorePassword, write=FSetSSLCertStorePassword };

Default Value

""

Remarks

If the type of certificate store requires a password, this property is used to specify the password needed to open the certificate store.

Data Type

String

SSLCertStoreType Property (GlobalDebit Component)

This is the type of certificate store for this certificate.

Syntax

__property TibcGlobalDebitSSLCertStoreTypes SSLCertStoreType = { read=FSSLCertStoreType, write=FSetSSLCertStoreType };

enum TibcGlobalDebitSSLCertStoreTypes {
  cstUser=0,
  cstMachine=1,
  cstPFXFile=2,
  cstPFXBlob=3,
  cstJKSFile=4,
  cstJKSBlob=5,
  cstPEMKeyFile=6,
  cstPEMKeyBlob=7,
  cstPublicKeyFile=8,
  cstPublicKeyBlob=9,
  cstSSHPublicKeyBlob=10,
  cstP7BFile=11,
  cstP7BBlob=12,
  cstSSHPublicKeyFile=13,
  cstPPKFile=14,
  cstPPKBlob=15,
  cstXMLFile=16,
  cstXMLBlob=17,
  cstJWKFile=18,
  cstJWKBlob=19,
  cstSecurityKey=20,
  cstBCFKSFile=21,
  cstBCFKSBlob=22,
  cstPKCS11=23,
  cstAuto=99
};

Default Value

cstUser

Remarks

This is the type of certificate store for this certificate.

The component supports both public and private keys in a variety of formats. When the cstAuto value is used, the component will automatically determine the type. This property can take one of the following values:

Data Type

Integer

SSLCertSubject Property (GlobalDebit Component)

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

Syntax

__property String SSLCertSubject = { read=FSSLCertSubject, write=FSetSSLCertSubject };

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 (GlobalDebit Component)

This specifies the SSL/TLS implementation to use.

Syntax

__property TibcGlobalDebitSSLProviders SSLProvider = { read=FSSLProvider, write=FSetSSLProvider };

enum TibcGlobalDebitSSLProviders {
  sslpAutomatic=0,
  sslpPlatform=1,
  sslpInternal=2
};

Default Value

sslpAutomatic

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 component 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 component 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 (GlobalDebit Component)

This is the certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded).

Syntax

__property String SSLServerCertEncoded = { read=FSSLServerCertEncoded };
__property DynamicArray<Byte> SSLServerCertEncodedB = { read=FSSLServerCertEncodedB };

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.

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

Data Type

Byte Array

Timeout Property (GlobalDebit Component)

A timeout for the component.

Syntax

__property int Timeout = { read=FTimeout, write=FSetTimeout };

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 component will wait for the operation to complete before returning control.

The component 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 component raises an exception.

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 (GlobalDebit Component)

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

Syntax

__property String TransactionAmount = { read=FTransactionAmount, write=FSetTransactionAmount };

Default Value

""

Remarks

This is required for Sale and Refund transactions. 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.

Data Type

String

UserId Property (GlobalDebit Component)

UserId for authentication with the Global Payments Server .

Syntax

__property String UserId = { read=FUserId, write=FSetUserId };

Default Value

""

Remarks

The UserId will be supplied to you by Global Payments.

Data Type

String

Config Method (GlobalDebit Component)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

String __fastcall Config(String ConfigurationString);

Remarks

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

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, 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 (GlobalDebit Component)

Interrupt the current method.

Syntax

void __fastcall Interrupt();

Remarks

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

Refund Method (GlobalDebit Component)

Refunds a previous transaction.

Syntax

void __fastcall Refund(String PNRef);

Remarks

This method issues a refund based on a previously authorized Sale 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, there is no ability to capture, void, or reverse debit transactions. You must use the Refund method to return funds to a customer's card. When performing a Refund, the CardMagneticStripe, EncryptedPIN, and KSN are required in addition to the PNRef parameter, which identifies the transaction you're issuing a refund for.

To process a refund, set CardMagneticStripe, EncryptedPIN, and KSN then call Refund with the PNRef parameter set to the PNRef returned in response from the transaction for which you wish to issue a refund. If you leave the TransactionAmount blank, the full amount of the original transaction will be refunded. However, you may issue a partial refund for any value up to the original sale amount. For example:

Full Refund: component.CardMagneticStripe = "9999999800002773=05121015432112345678" component.CardEntryDataSource = edsMagneticStripe component.EncryptedPIN = "623F36B53CC18393" component.KSN = "000000008F000021" component.Refund("123456"); // "123456" is the PNRef from the original transaction Partial Refund: component.CardMagneticStripe = "9999999800002773=05121015432112345678" component.CardEntryDataSource = edsMagneticStripe component.EncryptedPIN = "623F36B53CC18393" component.KSN = "000000008F000021" component.TransactionAmount = "15.00"; // Original transaction was for $25.00, so this is a partial refund component.Refund("123456"); // "123456" is the PNRef from the original transaction

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

Reset Method (GlobalDebit Component)

Clears all properties to their default values.

Syntax

void __fastcall Reset();

Remarks

This method clears all properties to their default values.

Sale Method (GlobalDebit Component)

Sends a Sale transaction to the host.

Syntax

void __fastcall Sale();

Remarks

A basic Sale transaction. This transaction immediately transfers the funds from the cardholders account. 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 component.

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, there is no ability to capture, void, or reverse debit transactions. You must use the Refund method to return funds to a customer's card. When performing a Refund, the CardMagneticStripe, EncryptedPIN, and KSN are required in addition to the PNRef parameter, which identifies the transaction you're issuing a refund for.

To perform a sale, 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 transaction. You must also set the KSN and EncryptedPIN properties with data retrieved from the PIN pad after the customer enters their PIN. For example:

Sale transaction with Track 2 data: component.CardEntryDataSource = edsMagneticStripe component.CardMagneticStripe = "4003000123456781=15125025432198712345" component.EncryptedPIN = "7F8A30DB967DAB4D" component.KSN = "3D01000042000007" component.CashBack="5.00" component.TransactionAmount = "10.00" //Total including CashBack component.Sale()

Error Event (GlobalDebit Component)

Fired when information is available about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  int ErrorCode;
  String Description;
} TibcGlobalDebitErrorEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TibcGlobalDebitErrorEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TibcGlobalDebitErrorEventParams *e);
__property TibcGlobalDebitErrorEvent OnError = { read=FOnError, write=FOnError };

Remarks

The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing. Normally the component raises an exception.

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 (GlobalDebit Component)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String CertEncoded;
  DynamicArray<Byte> CertEncodedB;
  String CertSubject;
  String CertIssuer;
  String Status;
  bool Accept;
} TibcGlobalDebitSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TibcGlobalDebitSSLServerAuthenticationEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TibcGlobalDebitSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e);
__property TibcGlobalDebitSSLServerAuthenticationEvent OnSSLServerAuthentication = { read=FOnSSLServerAuthentication, write=FOnSSLServerAuthentication };

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 (GlobalDebit Component)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String Message;
} TibcGlobalDebitSSLStatusEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TibcGlobalDebitSSLStatusEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TibcGlobalDebitSSLStatusEventParams *e);
__property TibcGlobalDebitSSLStatusEvent OnSSLStatus = { read=FOnSSLStatus, write=FOnSSLStatus };

Remarks

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

Status Event (GlobalDebit Component)

Shows the progress of the Global Payments connection.

Syntax

typedef struct {
  String Message;
} TibcGlobalDebitStatusEventParams;
typedef void __fastcall (__closure *TibcGlobalDebitStatusEvent)(System::TObject* Sender, TibcGlobalDebitStatusEventParams *e);
__property TibcGlobalDebitStatusEvent OnStatus = { read=FOnStatus, write=FOnStatus };

Remarks

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