TSYSBenefit Component

Properties   Methods   Events   Config Settings   Errors  

The TSYSBenefit component is an advanced tool used to authorize Electronic Benefits (EBT) cards in a Retail environment, where the customer is purchasing products or services in person. This component makes authorizing EBT Food Stamp and Cash Benefit transactions (with a customer PIN) very easy. Supported Industry Types include retail stores, restaurants, and grocery stores.

Syntax

TibcTSYSBenefit

Remarks

This component allows for simple, direct, secure connection to the Vital/TSYS TLS/SSL gateway through a standard Internet connection. Because all TLS/SSL communications are handled inside the component, any application or web page can be deployed without the need for expensive dedicated TLS/SSL servers.

The TSYSBenefit component makes authorizing EBT card transactions (where the customer's card is swiped through a card reader and a PIN is supplied) 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 component and authorizing a transaction are outlined below:

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

TSYSBenefit1.MerchantBankId = "999995" TSYSBenefit1.MerchantNumber = "888000002447" TSYSBenefit1.MerchantName = "TEST MERCHANT" TSYSBenefit1.MerchantTerminalNumber = "1515" TSYSBenefit1.MerchantStoreNumber = "5999" TSYSBenefit1.MerchantCategoryCode = "5999" TSYSBenefit1.MerchantCity = "Durham" TSYSBenefit1.MerchantState = "NC" TSYSBenefit1.MerchantZip = "27713" TSYSBenefit1.MerchantTimeZone = "705" TSYSBenefit1.MerchantABANumber = "123456789" TSYSBenefit1.MerchantSettlementAgent = "V123" TSYSBenefit1.MerchantFCSId = "1234567" TSYSBenefit1.AgentBankNumber = "000000" TSYSBenefit1.AgentChainNumber = "111111" TSYSBenefit1.SharingGroup = "8GWK" TSYSBenefit1.IndustryType = itRetail

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, formatted with an implicit decimal place. The MagneticStripe is read from the magnetic stripe on the back of the card, (Track 2 for EBT transactions) and the DebitPIN and DebitKSN are retrieved from a standard DUKPT Pin Pad device.

TSYSBenefit1.TransactionNumber = 1 TSYSBenefit1.TransactionAmount = "1000" TSYSBenefit1.CardMagneticStripe = "9999999800002773=09121015432112345678" TSYSBenefit1.CardPIN = "83C33384650827F6" TSYSBenefit1.CardKSN = "4A00310459400004"

The TSYSBenefit component supports both Food Stamp and Cash Benefit programs on the same card. Make sure to choose the correct TransactionType for the benefit program you wish to use, and then call the Authorize method. For example:

TSYSBenefit1.TransactionType = ttFoodStampPurchase TSYSBenefit1.Authorize()

When the component receives a response from the Vital/TSYS servers, the result of the authorization will be displayed in several Response properties. The Code indicates whether the transaction was approved, and the remaining properties provide additional information about the transaction.

Once an EBT authorization is approved, 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 by passing the XML aggregate returned from the GetDetailAggregate method to the TSYSSettle component. Usually, a Batch Settlement of all authorized transactions is done at the end of each business day. Note that ttFoodStampBalanceInquiry and ttCashBenefitBalanceInquiry TransactionTypes cannot be settled.

BatchNumber Property (TSYSBenefit Component)

The batch number that this transaction will be included in.

Syntax

property BatchNumber: Integer read get_BatchNumber write set_BatchNumber;

Default Value

1

Remarks

Unlike regular credit card transactions, Debit, EBT, and GiftCard transactions require that the Batch Number be sent in the authorization request. This number should be the same number you set to the TSYSSettle component's BatchNumber property. The range is from 1 to 999.

Card Property (TSYSBenefit Component)

Contains the customer's credit card information.

Syntax

property Card: TibcCCCard read get_Card write set_Card;

Remarks

This must be set to an instance of the CCCard type, which will contain information about the credit card to be charged. This may include a MagneticStripe for swiped cards, or a Number, ExpMonth, and ExpYear for manually entered cards. (EntryDataSource indicates which set of properties will be used). See the CCCard type for more information.

Note that you may not send Track1 data in the MagneticStripe property for EBT transactions. You may only submit transactions with Track2 data or manual entry.

This property is not available at design time.

Please refer to the CCCard type for a complete list of fields.

CashBackAmount Property (TSYSBenefit Component)

Amount returned to the customer in cash.

Syntax

property CashBackAmount: String read get_CashBackAmount write set_CashBackAmount;

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.

Authorize Method (TSYSBenefit Component)

Sends a Gift Card transaction.

Syntax

procedure Authorize();

Remarks

This method sends an Electronic Benefits (EBT) 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 Code property will contain "00" or "85".

Config Method (TSYSBenefit Component)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

function Config(ConfigurationString: String): String;

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.

GetDetailAggregate Method (TSYSBenefit Component)

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

Syntax

function GetDetailAggregate(): String;

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 component'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 component to do so.

Note: This method may only be called after a successful authorization. If the authorization was not successful the method raises an exception.

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

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

Interrupt Method (TSYSBenefit Component)

Interrupts the current action.

type TConnectedEvent = procedure (
  Sender: TObject;
  StatusCode: Integer;
  const Description: String
) of Object;

property OnConnected: TConnectedEvent read FOnConnected write FOnConnected;

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.

Please refer to the Error Codes section for more information.

DataPacketIn Event (TSYSBenefit Component)

Fired when receiving a data packet from the transaction server.

Syntax

type TDataPacketInEvent = procedure (
  Sender: TObject;
  DataPacket: String;
  DataPacketB: TBytes
) of Object;

property OnDataPacketIn: TDataPacketInEvent read FOnDataPacketIn write FOnDataPacketIn;

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 component.

DataPacketOut Event (TSYSBenefit Component)

Fired when sending a data packet to the transaction server.

Syntax

type TDataPacketOutEvent = procedure (
  Sender: TObject;
  DataPacket: String;
  DataPacketB: TBytes
) of Object;

property OnDataPacketOut: TDataPacketOutEvent read FOnDataPacketOut write FOnDataPacketOut;

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 component.

Disconnected Event (TSYSBenefit Component)

Fired when a connection is closed.

Syntax

type TDisconnectedEvent = procedure (
  Sender: TObject;
  StatusCode: Integer;
  const Description: String
) of Object;

property OnDisconnected: TDisconnectedEvent read FOnDisconnected write FOnDisconnected;

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.

Please refer to the Error Codes section for more information.

Error Event (TSYSBenefit Component)

Information about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

type TErrorEvent = procedure (
  Sender: TObject;
  ErrorCode: Integer;
  const Description: String
) of Object;

property OnError: TErrorEvent read FOnError write FOnError;

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 (TSYSBenefit Component)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

type TSSLServerAuthenticationEvent = procedure (
  Sender: TObject;
  CertEncoded: String;
  CertEncodedB: TBytes;
  const CertSubject: String;
  const CertIssuer: String;
  const Status: String;
  var Accept: Boolean
) of Object;

property OnSSLServerAuthentication: TSSLServerAuthenticationEvent 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 (TSYSBenefit Component)

Fired when secure connection progress messages are available.

Syntax

type TSSLStatusEvent = procedure (
  Sender: TObject;
  const Message: String
) of Object;

property OnSSLStatus: TSSLStatusEvent read FOnSSLStatus write FOnSSLStatus;

Remarks

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

CCCard Type

Contains the customer's credit card information.

Remarks

This type contains the customer's credit card information. If you are processing transactions where the customer and his credit card are physically present, set the MagneticStripe field with the data read from the card reader. You may set either Track1 or Track2 data (but not both). You must also set the EntryDataSource to indicate which track is stored in the MagneticStripe field.

Example: Setting the Fields CCCard card = new CCCard(); card.MagneticStripe = "B4012000033330026^FDMS TEST CARD /VISA^090410054321000000000000000 150 A"; card.EntryDataSource = edsTrack1; Example: Using a Constructor CCCard card = new CCCard("B4012000033330026^FDMS TEST CARD /VISA^090410054321000000000000000 150 A", edsTrack1);

If you are processing a transaction where the credit card is not physically present (eCommerce, mail/order, etc) or if the magstripe on the back of the card cannot be read by the card reader, you must set the Number, ExpMonth, and ExpYear fields, and EntryDataSource must be set to one of the manually entered enumerations.

Example: Setting the Fields CCCard card = new CCCard(); card.Number = "4788250000028291"; card.ExpMonth = 12; card.ExpYear = 2010; card.EntryDataSource = edsManualEntryNoCardReader; Example: Using a Constructor CCCard card = new CCCard("4012000033330026", 04, 2009); Note that the constructor in the previous example automatically sets the EntryDataSource to edsManualEntryNoCardReader. If you wish to set any other value for the EntryDataSource, you must set it yourself before authorizing the transaction.

When authorizing a transaction, the fields used by the component are solely dependant on the value of EntryDataSource. If you set the Number, ExpMonth, and ExpYear fields, but EntryDataSource is set to edsTrack2, the component will look for MagneticStripe data when authorizing the transaction, and will raises an exception because none is present.

Fields

Constructors

constructor Create();

constructor Create(valNumber: String; valExpMonth: Integer; valExpYear: Integer);

constructor Create(valMagneticStripe: String; valEntryDataSource: TibcEntryDataSources);
