TSYSGiftCard Class

Properties   Methods   Events   Config Settings   Errors  

The TSYSGiftCard class is used to manipulate funds on Gift and Prepaid Cards using the Vital/TSYS payment system. This class supports card-present gift card transactions, and allows for simple, direct, secure communication to the Vital/TSYS TLS/SSL gateway through a standard Internet connection. This class can be integrated into web pages or stand- alone Point Of Sale applications. Because all TLS/SSL communications are handled inside the class, any application or web page can be deployed without the need for expensive dedicated TLS/SSL servers.

Syntax

TSYSGiftCard

Remarks

This class supports two different kinds of Stored Value cards. Gift Cards and Prepaid Cards. Gift Cards support only the Fifth/Third and Stored Value Systems (SVS) ReceivingInstitutions, and a merchant must have software (such as this class) to authorize gift card Purchase (redemption) transactions. On the other hand, Prepaid cards (once activated) authorize exactly like credit cards, and can be used at any store. Examples of gift and cards include a retailer's gift card, a prepaid telephone card, and a reloadable subway pass. Examples of prepaid cards would be the prepaid cards purchased at shopping malls, or sometimes given away as promotional gimmicks. Not included in either of these are government income-support cards, otherwise known as EBT cards or electronic food stamps. (Use the TSYSBenefit class for EBT cards).

The TSYSGiftCard class makes these 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 class and authorizing a transaction are outlined below:

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

TSYSGiftCard1.MerchantBankId = "999995" TSYSGiftCard1.MerchantNumber = "888000002447" TSYSGiftCard1.MerchantName = "TEST_MERCHANT" TSYSGiftCard1.MerchantTerminalNumber = "1515" TSYSGiftCard1.MerchantStoreNumber = "5999" TSYSGiftCard1.MerchantCategoryCode = "5999" TSYSGiftCard1.MerchantCity = "Durham" TSYSGiftCard1.MerchantState = "NC" TSYSGiftCard1.MerchantZip = "27713" TSYSGiftCard1.MerchantTimeZone = "705" TSYSGiftCard1.MerchantABANumber = "123456789" TSYSGiftCard1.MerchantSettlementAgent = "V123" TSYSGiftCard1.AgentBankNumber = "000000" TSYSGiftCard1.AgentChainNumber = "111111" TSYSGiftCard1.IndustryType = itRetail TSYSGiftCard1.ReceivingInstitution = riFifthThird

Next, set properties that contain details about the transaction. The TransactionNumber is a sequence number, and should be incremented for each transaction you send. TransactionAmount is the amount of sale, plus any CashBackAmount returned to the customer, formatted with an implicit decimal place (CashBackAmount is only applicable to the ttGiftCardPurchase TransactionType). The CardMagneticStripe data for Prepaid cards can be either track1 or track2, but Gift cards support only the dsTrack2 CardEntryDataSource. Both types support manual entry via the CardNumber, CardExpMonth, and CardExpYear properties.

In addition, you are also be required to set an EmployeeId and BatchNumber for Gift Card transactions. (These are ignored for Prepaid transactions). Even though Gift Card transactions are not submitted for settlement, the BatchNumber should reflect the batch sequence number of the current batch. The EmployeeId is a unique number used to identify the employee operating the terminal being used to issue gift cards. For example:

TSYSGiftCard1.TransactionNumber = 1 TSYSGiftCard1.BatchNumber = 123 TSYSGiftCard1.EmployeeId = "12345678" TSYSGiftCard1.TransactionAmount = "1000" TSYSGiftCard1.CashBackAmount = "300" TSYSGiftCard1.CardTrack2Data = "9999999800002773=09121015432112345678"

The TSYSGiftCard class supports both Gift Card and Prepaid Cards, so you should make sure to choose the correct TransactionType for the type of card you are using. Then call the Authorize method to submit the transaction.

TSYSGiftCard1.TransactionType = ttGiftCardPurchase TSYSGiftCard1.Authorize()

When the class 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 remaining properties provide additional information about the transaction.

Note that Gift Card and Prepaid Card transactions, with the exception of the ttPrepaidCardPurchase TransactionType are real-time transactions, and cannot be settled with the TSYSSettle class. ttPrepaidCardPurchase is identical to a credit card purchase made with the TSYSRetail class, so it must be settled with the TSYSSettle class. However, using this class to authorize Prepaid card transactions allows you to retrieve balance information and allow partial authorizations.

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.

CashBackAmount Property (TSYSGiftCard Class)

Amount returned to the customer in cash.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetCashBackAmount();
int SetCashBackAmount(const char* lpszCashBackAmount); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetCashBackAmount();
INT SetCashBackAmount(LPCWSTR lpszCashBackAmount);
char* dpaymentssdk_tsysgiftcard_getcashbackamount(void* lpObj);
int dpaymentssdk_tsysgiftcard_setcashbackamount(void* lpObj, const char* lpszCashBackAmount);
QString GetCashBackAmount();
int SetCashBackAmount(QString qsCashBackAmount);

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property may contain an optional cash back amount when authorizing a Debit Purchase transaction, EBT Cash Benefit Purchase, or a Gift Card Purchase transaction. The value of TransactionAmount must reflect the cost of the goods or service purchased plus this CashBackAmount.

Note: CashBackAmount must be empty for Restaurant IndustryType as this is not supported by TSYS.

Note: TSYS does not support transactions containing both CashBack and Gratuity/Tip amounts.

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.

Note: For EBT Withdrawal transactions, CashBackAmount must be empty. However, when creating detail records for the settlement of the transaction, the DebitCashBack in the detail record must match the TransactionAmount for the authorization.

Note, this property is only valid for the ttGiftCardPurchase TransactionType. Trying to send any other TransactionType with cash back will cause the class to fail with an error.

Default Value

""

Remarks

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.
In order to maximize the address information included in the request, it is suggested that you strip out the spaces (when possible) and punctuations before setting the property.

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.

char* dpaymentssdk_tsysgiftcard_getresponseauthorizedamount(void* lpObj);
QString GetResponseAuthorizedAmount();

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.

Remarks

Contains the Address Verification System result code.

This one character property contains the Address Verification System (AVS) result code. An AVS result code can provide additional information concerning the authentication of a particular transaction for which cardholder address verification was requested. An AVS result code of "0" will be returned in the response message when no address verification has been requested. The value returned should be stored and submitted as part of the batch settlement. Valid AVS codes are:

CodeDescription
0Approved/Declined - Address verification was not requested or it was requested but the transaction was declined (Visa, MC, Amex, Discover).
AAddress Match - CustomerAddress matches, CustomerZip does not, or the request does not include the CustomerZip (Visa, Amex, Discover).
I*Ver Unavailable - Address information not verified (Discover).
NNo match - Transaction contained postal/ZIP code only, or street address only, or postal code and street address. Also used when transaction requests AVS but sends no AVS data (Visa, MC, Amex, Discover).
RRetry - System unable to process (Visa, MC, Amex, Discover).
SServ Unavailable - Service not supported (MC, Amex, Discover).
UVer Unavailable - No data from Issuer/Authorization platform (Visa, MC, Amex, Discover).
WZip Match - Nine character CustomerZip matches, CustomerAddress does not (MC, Discover).
XExact Match - Nine character CustomerZip and CustomerAddress match (MC, Discover).
YExact Match - CustomerZip and CustomerAddress match (Visa, MC, Amex, Discover).
ZZip Match - CustomerZip matches; CustomerAddress does not match or street address not included in the request (Visa, MC, Amex, Discover).
1APPROVAL - Cardholder name and ZIP match (Amex only).
2APPROVAL - Cardholder name, address, and ZIP match (Amex only).
3APPROVAL - Cardholder name, address match (Amex only).
4APPROVAL - Cardholder name matches (Amex only).
5APPROVAL - Cardholder name incorrect, ZIP matches (Amex only).
6APPROVAL - Cardholder name incorrect, address and ZIP match (Amex only).
7APPROVAL - Cardholder name incorrect, address matches (Amex only).
8NO MATCH - Cardholder name, address, and ZIP do not match (Amex only).

ResponseBalance Property (TSYSGiftCard Class)

Available balance remaining on card.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetResponseBalance();

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR GetResponseBalance();
char* dpaymentssdk_tsysgiftcard_getresponsebalance(void* lpObj);
QString GetResponseBalance();

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 a card has a $20.00 balance prior to a $15.00 ttGiftCardPurchase authorization, then the ResponseBalance will reflect an available balance of "500" ($20.00 - $15.00 = $5.00).

Note that this balance will be returned for all TransactionTypes, not just Balance Inquiries.

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.

Default Value

""

Remarks

Indicates the status of the authorization request.

This property contains a two character response code indicating the status of the authorization request. The Point of Sale (POS) system must evaluate this response code and NOT the ResponseText to determine nature of a response message. A response code of "00" represents an approval. 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".

A list of valid result ResponseCodes are listed in the table of contents.

Remarks

Contains the returned CVV result code if it was requested.

If a CVV value was sent in the authorization request, then this one character property will contain the host returned Card Verification Value result code. Please note that a CVV Result code is never returned for an American Express transaction, even if the CVV data is included in the authorization. Instead, an AMEX transaction will be declined if the CVV value does not match, with an ResponseText indicating such. The following is a list of current result codes:

MCVV2 match.
NCVV2 no match.
PNot processed.
SMerchant has indicated that CVV2 is not present on card.
UIssuer not certified and/or has not provided Visa encryption keys.

Note: This store type is only available in Java and .NET.

23 (cstPKCS11)The certificate is present on a physical security key accessible via a PKCS#11 interface.

To use a security key, the necessary data must first be collected using the CertMgr class. The ListStoreCertificates method may be called after setting CertStoreType to cstPKCS11, CertStorePassword to the PIN, and CertStore to the full path of the PKCS#11 DLL. The certificate information returned in the CertList event's CertEncoded parameter may be saved for later use.

When using a certificate, pass the previously saved security key information as the SSLCertStore and set SSLCertStorePassword to the PIN.

Code Example. SSH Authentication with Security Key: certmgr.CertStoreType = CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11; certmgr.OnCertList += (s, e) => { secKeyBlob = e.CertEncoded; }; certmgr.CertStore = @"C:\Program Files\OpenSC Project\OpenSC\pkcs11\opensc-pkcs11.dll"; certmgr.CertStorePassword = "123456"; //PIN certmgr.ListStoreCertificates(); sftp.SSHCert = new Certificate(CertStoreTypes.cstPKCS11, secKeyBlob, "123456", "*"); sftp.SSHUser = "test"; sftp.SSHLogon("myhost", 22);

99 (cstAuto)The store type is automatically detected from the input data. This setting may be used with both public and private keys and can detect any of the supported formats automatically.

int SetSSLProvider(int iSSLProvider); Unicode (Windows) INT GetSSLProvider();
INT SetSSLProvider(INT iSSLProvider);

Possible Values

SSLP_AUTOMATIC(0), 
SSLP_PLATFORM(1),
SSLP_INTERNAL(2)
int dpaymentssdk_tsysgiftcard_getsslprovider(void* lpObj);
int dpaymentssdk_tsysgiftcard_setsslprovider(void* lpObj, int iSSLProvider);
int GetSSLProvider();
int SetSSLProvider(int iSSLProvider);

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 class 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:

0 (sslpAutomatic - default)Automatically selects the appropriate implementation.
1 (sslpPlatform) Uses the platform/system implementation.
2 (sslpInternal) Uses the internal implementation.
Additional Notes

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

When Automatic is selected, on Windows the class will use the platform implementation. On Linux/macOS the class will use the internal implementation. When TLS 1.3 is enabled via SSLEnabledProtocols the internal implementation is used on all platforms.

Data Type

Integer

SSLServerCertEncoded Property (TSYSGiftCard Class)

This is the certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded).

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GetSSLServerCertEncoded(char* &lpSSLServerCertEncoded, int &lenSSLServerCertEncoded);

Unicode (Windows)
INT GetSSLServerCertEncoded(LPSTR &lpSSLServerCertEncoded, INT &lenSSLServerCertEncoded);
int dpaymentssdk_tsysgiftcard_getsslservercertencoded(void* lpObj, char** lpSSLServerCertEncoded, int* lenSSLServerCertEncoded);
QByteArray GetSSLServerCertEncoded();

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

Binary String

Timeout Property (TSYSGiftCard Class)

A timeout for the class.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GetTimeout();
int SetTimeout(int iTimeout); Unicode (Windows) INT GetTimeout();
INT SetTimeout(INT iTimeout);
int dpaymentssdk_tsysgiftcard_gettimeout(void* lpObj);
int dpaymentssdk_tsysgiftcard_settimeout(void* lpObj, int iTimeout);
int GetTimeout();
int SetTimeout(int iTimeout);

Default Value

30

Remarks

If Timeout is set to a positive value, and an operation cannot be completed immediately, the class will retry the operation for a maximum of Timeout seconds.

The default value for Timeout is 30 (seconds).

Data Type

Integer

TransactionAmount Property (TSYSGiftCard Class)

Purchase amount to be authorized.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetTransactionAmount();
int SetTransactionAmount(const char* lpszTransactionAmount); Unicode (Windows) LPWSTR GetTransactionAmount();
INT SetTransactionAmount(LPCWSTR lpszTransactionAmount);
char* dpaymentssdk_tsysgiftcard_gettransactionamount(void* lpObj);
int dpaymentssdk_tsysgiftcard_settransactionamount(void* lpObj, const char* lpszTransactionAmount);
QString GetTransactionAmount();
int SetTransactionAmount(QString qsTransactionAmount);

Default Value

""

Remarks

This field contains the transaction amount to be authorized.

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.

Data Type

String

TransactionNumber Property (TSYSGiftCard Class)

Sequence number of this transaction.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GetTransactionNumber();
int SetTransactionNumber(int iTransactionNumber); Unicode (Windows) INT GetTransactionNumber();
INT SetTransactionNumber(INT iTransactionNumber);
int dpaymentssdk_tsysgiftcard_gettransactionnumber(void* lpObj);
int dpaymentssdk_tsysgiftcard_settransactionnumber(void* lpObj, int iTransactionNumber);
int GetTransactionNumber();
int SetTransactionNumber(int iTransactionNumber);

Default Value

0

Remarks

This field contains a terminal-generated transaction sequence number to be submitted in all authorization request messages. This number is echoed back to the terminal in the ResponseTransactionNumber for the purpose of assisting in the matching of authorization request and response messages. This value must be in the range 0001 to 9999 and should be incremented on each authorization request message. This number should automatically increment from 9999 to 1. 0 is an invalid transaction number.

Data Type

Integer

TransactionType Property (TSYSGiftCard Class)

Specifies the type of Gift Card transaction to process.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GetTransactionType();
int SetTransactionType(int iTransactionType); Unicode (Windows) INT GetTransactionType();
INT SetTransactionType(INT iTransactionType);

Possible Values

TT_GIFT_CARD_PURCHASE(15),

Remarks

This property indicates the type of Gift Card transaction to send. The following table explains the transaction types in detail:

ttGiftCardPurchase (15)This transaction redeems funds on the cards towards the purchase of goods or services.
ttGiftCardRefund (16)This transaction refunds a previous ttGiftCardPurchase transaction.
ttGiftCardAddValue (17)This transaction adds funds to the gift card.
ttGiftCardDecreaseValue (18)This transaction removes funds from the gift card (do not use this for purchases. Use ttGiftCardPurchase instead).
ttGiftCardCloseCard (19)This transaction closes a gift card and removes it from circulation. Any remaining balance on the card will be returned in the ResponseAuthorizedAmount property.
ttGiftCardBalanceInquiry (20)This transaction retrieves the current available balance for the gift card. The balance is returned in the ResponseBalance property.
ttPrepaidCardActivation (21)This transaction activates a card and loads it with funds. The TransactionAmount must match the value indicated on the face of the card.
ttPrepaidCardLoad (22)This transaction loads a prepaid card with funds. Total funds on the card (current balance of the card plus the TransactionAmount) cannot exceed the value printed on the face of the card.
ttPrepaidCardPurchase (23)This transaction is identical to a regular credit card authorization.
ttPrepaidCardBalanceInquiry (24)This transaction retrieves the current available balance for the prepaid card. The balance is returned in the ResponseBalance property.

Data Type

Integer

Authorize Method (TSYSGiftCard Class)

Sends a Gift Card transaction.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Authorize();

Unicode (Windows)
INT Authorize();
int dpaymentssdk_tsysgiftcard_authorize(void* lpObj);
int Authorize();

Remarks

This method sends a Gift Card authorization request to the Vital/TSYS host. The type of transaction sent is based upon the value of the TransactionType property. If the request was successful, the ResponseCode property will contain "00".

Note that only ttPrepaidCardPurchase transactions are settled with the TSYSSettle class. All other transactions (including ttGiftCardPurchase) take place in real time. Instead of using this class to authorize Prepaid Card purchases, you may opt to use the TSYSRetail class instead. However, this class allows you to support PartialRedemption, and will also return the prepaid card's available balance in the ResponseBalance property.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

Config Method (TSYSGiftCard Class)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* Config(const char* lpszConfigurationString);

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR Config(LPCWSTR lpszConfigurationString);
char* dpaymentssdk_tsysgiftcard_config(void* lpObj, const char* lpszConfigurationString);
QString Config(const QString& qsConfigurationString);

Remarks

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

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, 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.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

GetDetailAggregate Method (TSYSGiftCard Class)

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

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
char* GetDetailAggregate();

Unicode (Windows)
LPWSTR GetDetailAggregate();
char* dpaymentssdk_tsysgiftcard_getdetailaggregate(void* lpObj);
QString 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 class'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 class 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()

Note that ttPrepaidCardPurchase transactions are identical to regular credit card authorizations, and thus must be settled like credit card transactions. Attempting to call this method for any other TransactionType will cause the class to fail with an error.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.

Interrupt Method (TSYSGiftCard Class)

Interrupts the current action.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Interrupt();

Unicode (Windows)
INT Interrupt();
int dpaymentssdk_tsysgiftcard_interrupt(void* lpObj);
int Interrupt();

Remarks

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

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

Reset Method (TSYSGiftCard Class)

Clears all properties to their default values.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int Reset();

Unicode (Windows)
INT Reset();
int dpaymentssdk_tsysgiftcard_reset(void* lpObj);
int Reset();

Remarks

This method clears all properties to their default values.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)

Connected Event (TSYSGiftCard Class)

Fired immediately after a connection completes (or fails).

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireConnected(TSYSGiftCardConnectedEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
int StatusCode;
const char *Description; int reserved; } TSYSGiftCardConnectedEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireConnected(TSYSGiftCardConnectedEventParams *e);

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 (TSYSGiftCard Class)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireSSLServerAuthentication(TSYSGiftCardSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *CertEncoded; int lenCertEncoded;
const char *CertSubject;
const char *CertIssuer;
const char *Status;
int Accept; int reserved; } TSYSGiftCardSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireSSLServerAuthentication(TSYSGiftCardSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCSTR CertEncoded; INT lenCertEncoded;
LPCWSTR CertSubject;
LPCWSTR CertIssuer;
LPCWSTR Status;
BOOL Accept; INT reserved; } TSYSGiftCardSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams;
#define EID_TSYSGIFTCARD_SSLSERVERAUTHENTICATION 6

virtual INT DPAYMENTSSDK_CALL FireSSLServerAuthentication(LPSTR &lpCertEncoded, INT &lenCertEncoded, LPSTR &lpszCertSubject, LPSTR &lpszCertIssuer, LPSTR &lpszStatus, BOOL &bAccept);
class TSYSGiftCardSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams {
public:
  const QByteArray &CertEncoded();

  const QString &CertSubject();

  const QString &CertIssuer();

  const QString &Status();

  bool Accept();
  void SetAccept(bool bAccept);

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void SSLServerAuthentication(TSYSGiftCardSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass TSYSGiftCard and override this emitter function. virtual int FireSSLServerAuthentication(TSYSGiftCardSSLServerAuthenticationEventParams *e) {...}

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 (TSYSGiftCard Class)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
virtual int FireSSLStatus(TSYSGiftCardSSLStatusEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
const char *Message; int reserved; } TSYSGiftCardSSLStatusEventParams;
Unicode (Windows) virtual INT FireSSLStatus(TSYSGiftCardSSLStatusEventParams *e);
typedef struct {
LPCWSTR Message; INT reserved; } TSYSGiftCardSSLStatusEventParams;
#define EID_TSYSGIFTCARD_SSLSTATUS 7

virtual INT DPAYMENTSSDK_CALL FireSSLStatus(LPSTR &lpszMessage);
class TSYSGiftCardSSLStatusEventParams {
public:
  const QString &Message();

  int EventRetVal();
  void SetEventRetVal(int iRetVal);
};
// To handle, connect one or more slots to this signal. void SSLStatus(TSYSGiftCardSSLStatusEventParams *e);
// Or, subclass TSYSGiftCard and override this emitter function. virtual int FireSSLStatus(TSYSGiftCardSSLStatusEventParams *e) {...}

Remarks

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

Config Settings (TSYSGiftCard Class)

The class accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

TSYSGiftCard Config Settings

ActivateTerminal:   Authenticates a POS device with TSYS.

This is an action config which when called will authenticate a POS device with TSYS. Authentication is required when processing transactions using Voltage Encryption or Tokenization. An AuthenticationCode is required to be specified, as is MerchantZip and/or MerchantServicePhone, to perform authentication. After a POS device is successfully authenticated, GenKey will be populated.

AuthenticationCode:   An alphanumeric code provided to the POS user for input when authenticating a POS device.

This field is used to specify the AuthenticationCode, assigned by TSYS, to authenticate a POS device (made via a call to ActivateTerminal).

AuthorizationIndicator:   The type of authorization request.

This field defines the type of authorization request and must be included on all MasterCard authorization request transactions.

Valid values are:

Code Description
P Pre Authorization
F Final Authorization
U Undefined Authorization

CardholderId:   Specifies the method used to verify the identity of the cardholder.

By default the class automatically computes the CardholderId based on several factors. Changing this config setting will override this automatic calculation. Clear this setting to "" (empty string) to restore automatic calculation. Please see the TSYSDetailRecord class's CardholderId property for more information.

DeactivateTerminal:   Deactivates a POS device with TSYS.

This is an action config which when called will deactivate the POS device specified via GenKey with TSYS.

GatewayID:   A unique value to identify a Gateway or Aggregator.

This 10 character field provides a unique value to identify a Gateway or Aggregator. This number is provided by TSYS Acquiring Solutions during the certification process.

GenKey:   A randomly generated string of alphanumeric characters identifying the terminal.

This field is used to specify retrieve or specify a GenKey value for a terminal. This field will be populated after a successful call to ActivateTerminal is made. The Genkey must be stored in the POS device, must be sent with every request to the TSYS Acquiring Solutions host after authentication (by setting this field), and will be checked against the terminal hierarchy. A GenKey value is required when processing transactions using Voltage Encryption or Tokenization.

Port:   The port to which transactions are posted.

This is port that this class connects to on the server. The default value for TSYS is 5003 for the live server, and 5004 for the test server. The default live server values for Heartland is 22341 for Authorization and 22342 for Settlement. The Heartland test server values are 12341 for Authorization and 12342 for Settlement.

POSDataCode:   Specifies the condition of the POS device used at the time of the transaction.

This configuration setting takes a semi-colon separated list of name-value pairs. The available field names and their applicable values can be found below. The fields can be set in any order and not all fields are required to be set (unless you wish to change their default values).

Note: Setting this configuration setting in TSYSDetailRecord class will not update the POSDataCode tag in the detail aggregate of the original transaction.

ResponseCardholderVerification:   Verification results for cardholder identification data (extended AVS).

This response data is returned when SendExtendedAVS is set to 'True' and is only available for American Express and Discover cards. This data is arranged in order of 5 bytes, one for each result of a cardholder identification data element:

Byte Number Description
Byte 1 Billing ZIP Code
Byte 2 Billing Street Match Code
Byte 3 Billing Name Match Code
Byte 4 Telephone Number Match Code
Byte 5 E-mail Address Match Code

The possible values for each byte are:

Value Description
Y Data Matches
U Data Unchecked
N No Match
S Service not allowed
R Retry
' ' (Space) Data not sent

For Discover transactions, byte 3 will be populated with the following values:

Value Description
B No response due to blank input
K Unknown
P Not processed
M First Name and Last Name match
F First Name Matches, Last Name does not match
L First Name does not match, Last Name matches
N Nothing matches
W No data from Issuer/Authorization system
U Retry, system unable to process

ResponseStoreNumber:   Check this field against the original Merchant StoreNumber.

The value of this field is used to correctly match responses with transactions by comparing its value to that of the MerchantStoreNumber. This is particularly useful when making a multi-merchant or multi-store routing system. If the system that originally made the transaction receives a response where the ResponseStoreNumber is not identical to the MerchantStoreNumber the transaction should not be stored for batch settlement. This field is read-only.

ResponseTerminalNumber:   Check this field against the original Merchant TerminalNumber.

The value of this field is used to correctly match responses with transactions by comparing its value to that of MerchantTerminalNumber. This is particularly useful when making a multi-terminal routing system within a merchant location. If the terminal that originally made the transaction receives a response where the ResponseTerminalNumber is not identical to the MerchantTerminalNumber, the transaction should not be stored for batch settlement. This field is read-only.

Retry:   Set this to retry a failed transaction.

If an authorization returns ambiguously or times out without receiving a response, you may send the same transaction over again with this Retry flag set to True. This will prevent you from double-charging your customers in the case of a communications error (only available for credit card transactions. Does not apply to Debit, Gift Card, or EBT transactions).

SendExtendedAVS:   Specifies whether to send extended AVS data.

When set to 'True', AVS data will be sent in the extended AVS field for the transaction. ResponseCardholderVerification will contain the extended AVS verification results. When set to 'False' (default value), the CustomerAddress and CustomerZip values will be sent using the simple AVS data fields.

Server:   The server to which transactions are posted.

This is name of the server to which all transactions are posted. Do not use an IP address, use the actual name, as a server's IP address may change. The default (Live) TSYS server is "ssl2.vitalps.net", but you may use "ssltest.tsysacquiring.net" for testing. The default (Live) Heartland server is "txns.secureexchange.net", but you may use "test.txns.secureexchange.net" for testing. Note that there are several MerchantBankIds and MerchantNumbers that will always run in test mode regardless of whether you are using the live server. See the included demos for examples.

TsysETB:   The Encryption Transmission Block TSYS uses to decrypt encrypted data.

This field is used to specify the Base-64 encoded ETB (Encryption Transmission Block) used by TSYS to decrypt Voltage encrypted data. The value is retrieved from the POS device containing the Voltage encryption software. When specified, the transaction will be sent as a Voltage encrypted transaction. The encrypted card data will be specified as normal via the CardMagneticStripe or CardNumber fields.

Base Config Settings

BuildInfo:   Information about the product's build.

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the product's build.

LicenseInfo:   Information about the current license.

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the license this instance of a class is using. It will return the following information:

  • Product: The product the license is for.
  • Product Key: The key the license was generated from.
  • License Source: Where the license was found (e.g., RuntimeLicense, License File).
  • License Type: The type of license installed (e.g., Royalty Free, Single Server).
  • Last Valid Build: The last valid build number for which the license will work.
MaskSensitive:   Whether sensitive data is masked in log messages.

In certain circumstances it may be beneficial to mask sensitive data, like passwords, in log messages. Set this to true to mask sensitive data. The default is true.

This setting only works on these classes: AS3Receiver, AS3Sender, Atom, Client(3DS), FTP, FTPServer, IMAP, OFTPClient, SSHClient, SCP, Server(3DS), Sexec, SFTP, SFTPServer, SSHServer, TCPClient, TCPServer.

ProcessIdleEvents:   Whether the class uses its internal event loop to process events when the main thread is idle.

If set to False, the class will not fire internal idle events. Set this to False to use the class in a background thread on Mac OS. By default, this setting is True.

SelectWaitMillis:   The length of time in milliseconds the class will wait when DoEvents is called if there are no events to process.

If there are no events to process when DoEvents is called, the class will wait for the amount of time specified here before returning. The default value is 20.

UseInternalSecurityAPI:   Whether or not to use the system security libraries or an internal implementation.

When set to false, the class will use the system security libraries by default to perform cryptographic functions where applicable.

Setting this configuration setting to true tells the class to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries.

On Windows, this setting is set to false by default. On Linux/macOS, this setting is set to true by default.

To use the system security libraries for Linux, OpenSSL support must be enabled. For more information on how to enable OpenSSL, please refer to the OpenSSL Notes section.
