TSYSDebit Component

Properties   Methods   Events   Config Settings   Errors  

The TSYSDebit component is an advanced tool used to authorize debit cards in a Retail environment, where the customer is purchasing products or services in person. This component makes authorizing debit card transactions with a customer PIN very easy. Supported Industry Types include retail stores, restaurants, and grocery stores.

Syntax

TibcTSYSDebit

Remarks

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

The TSYSDebit component makes authorizing debit 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, 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:

TSYSDebit1.Reset TSYSDebit1.MerchantBankId = "999995" '(BIN Number) TSYSDebit1.MerchantNumber = "888000002447" TSYSDebit1.MerchantName = "TEST MERCHANT" TSYSDebit1.MerchantTerminalNumber = "1515" TSYSDebit1.MerchantStoreNumber = "5999" TSYSDebit1.MerchantCategoryCode = "5999" TSYSDebit1.MerchantCity = "Durham" TSYSDebit1.MerchantState = "NC" TSYSDebit1.MerchantZip = "27713" TSYSDebit1.MerchantTimeZone = "705" TSYSDebit1.MerchantABANumber = "123456789" TSYSDebit1.MerchantSettlementAgent = "V123" TSYSDebit1.AgentBankNumber = "000000" TSYSDebit1.AgentChainNumber = "111111" TSYSDebit1.ReimbursementAttribute = raStandardRetail TSYSDebit1.SharingGroup = "GWQEV5" TSYSDebit1.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. BatchNumber indicates which batch you will settle this authorization in. It should match the BatchNumber you set in the TSYSSettle component when you settle this transaction. TransactionAmount is the amount of sale, plus any CashBackAmount returned to the customer, formatted with an implicit decimal place. The CardTrack2Data is read from the magnetic stripe on the back of the card, and the DebitPIN and DebitKSN are retrieved from a standard DUKPT Pin Pad device.

TSYSDebit1.TransactionNumber = 1 TSYSDebit1.BatchNumber = 213 TSYSDebit1.TransactionAmount = "1000" TSYSDebit1.CashBackAmount = "300" TSYSDebit1.CardTrack2Data = "9999999800002773=09121015432112345678" TSYSDebit1.CardPIN = "83C33384650827F6" TSYSDebit1.CardKSN = "4A00310459400004"

Finally, submit the transaction by calling one of three authorization methods. Sale, Credit or BalanceInquiry. The following code demonstrates a purchase: TSYSDebit1.Sale()

If wish refund money to a customer's debit card, you must also supply an OriginalPurchaseDate before calling Credit.

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 a debit card Sale or Credit 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 BalanceInquiry transactions can not be settled.

BatchNumber Property (TSYSDebit 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.

CardTrack2Data Property (TSYSDebit Component)

Track 2 data for a debit transaction.

Syntax

property CardTrack2Data: String read get_CardTrack2Data write set_CardTrack2Data;

Default Value

''

Remarks

This is a variable length field with a maximum data length of 37 characters. For Retail Card Present transactions, this property will contain the entire UNALTERED track as read from a credit card's magnetic stripe. This includes all framing characters. However, the track should be converted to 8-bit ASCII before this property is set (most card readers do this automatically).

Industry regulations do not allow merchants or processors to store track data in any form of persistent storage. Failure to abide by this regulation can result in significant fines and other penalties.

CashBackAmount Property (TSYSDebit 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.

22 (cstBCFKSBlob)The certificate store is a string (binary or Base64-encoded) representing a certificate store in BCFKS (Bouncy Castle FIPS Key Store) format.

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 component. 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 Store and set StorePassword 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.

SSLCertSubject Property (TSYSDebit Component)

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

Syntax

property SSLCertSubject: String read get_SSLCertSubject write set_SSLCertSubject;

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:

FieldMeaning
CNCommon Name. This is commonly a hostname like www.server.com.
OOrganization
OUOrganizational Unit
LLocality
SState
CCountry
EEmail Address

If a field value contains a comma, it must be quoted.

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:

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 component will select a provider depending on the current platform.

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

SSLServerCertEncoded Property (TSYSDebit Component)

This is the certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded).

Syntax

property SSLServerCertEncoded: String read get_SSLServerCertEncoded;
property SSLServerCertEncodedB: TBytes read get_SSLServerCertEncodedB;

Default Value

''

Remarks

This is the certificate (PEM/Base64 encoded). This property is used to assign a specific certificate. The Store and Subject properties also may be used to specify a certificate.

When Encoded is set, a search is initiated in the current Store for the private key of the certificate. If the key is found, Subject is updated to reflect the full subject of the selected certificate; otherwise, Subject is set to an empty string.

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

Timeout Property (TSYSDebit Component)

A timeout for the component.

Syntax

property Timeout: Integer read get_Timeout write set_Timeout;

Default Value

30

Remarks

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

The default value for Timeout is 30 (seconds).

TransactionAmount Property (TSYSDebit Component)

Purchase amount to be authorized.

Syntax

property TransactionAmount: String read get_TransactionAmount write set_TransactionAmount;

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.

TransactionNumber Property (TSYSDebit Component)

Sequence number of this transaction.

Syntax

property TransactionNumber: Integer read get_TransactionNumber write set_TransactionNumber;

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 TransactionNumber 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.

BalanceInquiry Method (TSYSDebit Component)

Retrieves the current available balance of the debit card.

Syntax

procedure BalanceInquiry();

Remarks

This method sends a balance inquiry request to the Vital/TSYS transaction processor. The CardTrack2Data property must be populated with the data from the magnetic stripe on the back of the card, and both DebitPIN and DebitKSN must contain data from a certified PIN pad device. If the authorization request was successful, the Code property will contain "00", and the Balance property will contain the card's current available balance.

Config Method (TSYSDebit 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.

Credit Method (TSYSDebit Component)

Syntax

procedure Credit();

Remarks

This methods sends a Credit request to the Vital/TSYS transaction processor. The CardTrack2Data property must be populated with the data from the magnetic stripe on the back of the card, and both DebitPIN and DebitKSN must contain data from a certified PIN pad device. The OriginalPurchaseDate must also contain the date at which the original Sale transaction was sent. If the authorization request was successful, the Code property will contain "00".

GetDetailAggregate Method (TSYSDebit 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 (TSYSDebit Component)

Interrupts the current action.

TSYSDebitResponse Type

Contains the response to the authorization.

Remarks

This type contains the results of a transaction made with the TSYSDebit, TSYSGiftCard, or TSYSBenefit component. The properties contained by this type are listed below.

Fields

ApprovalCode
String (read-only)

Default Value: ""

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 Code returned indicates that the transaction has not been approved, then the contents of the property should be ignored. The ApprovalCode must be stored and submitted in the settlement data capture record.

AuthorizedAmount
String (read-only)

Default Value: ""

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

The AuthorizedAmount 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 AuthorizedAmount 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 AuthorizedAmount will represent the approved amount of $7.50.In this case, the Code will also be "00" (Approval). The merchant must tender the difference between the requested TransactionAmount and the AuthorizedAmount 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.

AuthSource
String (read-only)

Default Value: ""

Indicates the source of the authorization code stored in ApprovalCode.

This property contains a one character code indicating the source of the ApprovalCode. The received code must be stored and submitted in the batch settlement. Valid source codes are:

* Currently in use by Japan Acquirer Services (JAS).

AVSResult
String (read-only)

Default Value: ""

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).

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).

*AVS Result Code for International addresses only

Balance
String (read-only)

Default Value: ""

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 Balance 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.

Code
String (read-only)

Default Value: ""

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 Text 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 Codes are listed in the table of contents.

CVVResult
String (read-only)

Default Value: ""

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 Text 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.

HostMessageId

NetworkId
String (read-only)

Default Value: ""

Identification code of the network on which the transaction was authorized.

This property indicates the network through which the transaction was authorized. If this property contains a "V" or a "5", this indicates the transaction was processed as a credit card purchase transaction even though it was originally submitted as a debit transaction. When these values ("V" or "5") are returned, the transaction must be settled as a credit card (non-debit) transaction.

The NetworkId must be printed on the customer's receipt.

The following values may be returned by the TSYS host:

1 AFFN ATM

This property contains a 12-character value reflecting the transaction Retrieval Reference Number returned by the authorizing system. The Point of Sale (POS) system should record the Retrieval Reference Number received in the original authorization response.

ReturnedACI
String (read-only)

Default Value: ""

Returned Authorization Characteristics Indicator contains CPS qualification status.

This one character property contains the returned Authorization Characteristics Indicator (ACI). This value provides information concerning the transaction's CPS qualification status. It is not recommended that the Point of Sale (POS) system attempt to interpret the meaning of this value.

Config Settings (TSYSDebit Component)

The component 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 component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

TSYSDebit 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 Zip and/or ServicePhone, to perform authentication. After a POS device is successfully authenticated, GenKey will be populated.

AllowPartialAuths:   Indicates whether partial authorizations are to be supported.

When this setting is True, if the debit card being authorized does not contain sufficient funds to cover the TransactionAmount, the card will not be declined. Instead, the transaction will be authorized for a lesser amount. The customer must then use another form of payment to make up the remainder. The total amount authorized by TSYS will be returned in the ResponseAuthorizedAmount configuration setting. For instance, if the TransactionAmount is $100.00, but the card only has a $50.00 balance, the card is charged for $50.00, and the ResponseAuthorizedAmount will be "50.00". The merchant may then collect the remaining $50 in cash, check, credit card, or any other acceptable form of payment. This setting is False by default.

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.

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 component 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 component's CardholderId property for more information.

ChipConditionCode:   The condition code of magnetic stripe read transactions of EMV (chip capable) cards.

This config is used to provide information about magnetic stripe read transactions using chip capable cards at chip capable POS devices.

Available values are:

Value Description
0 Service code does not begin with a two or six or fill for subsequent positions that are present.
1 Service code begins with two or six; last CCPS read at the chip capable terminal was successful, or was not a chip transaction, or unknown.

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

Processor:   Specifies the Processor you are connecting to.

This field allows you to specify the processor that you are connecting to (thus allowing the component to correctly generate the request and parse the response). The available values are:

0TSYS (default)
1Heartland

Note that when set, this property will set the Server and Port to the default values for the specified processor. Additionally, this config must be set prior to setting Card to ensure the card data is formatted correctly.

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

ResponseEMVData:   The EMV Data returned in an authorization response.

This configuration setting contains the EMV Data in TLV (tag-length-value) format. This field will only be populated if an EMV transaction was performed and EMV Data was received in the authorization response.

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 StoreNumber. 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 StoreNumber 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 TerminalNumber. 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 TerminalNumber, 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 BankIds and Numbers that will always run in test mode regardless of whether you are using the live server. See the included demos for examples.

SurchargeAmount:   The transaction fee amount charged to the customer to account for acquirer-assessed surcharge.

This configuration setting is for informational purposes only and any surcharge amounts charged to the customer should be included in the TransactionAmount.

The format of this field is 'annnnnnnn' where 'a' is either 'D' for debit or 'C' for credit. 'nnnnnnnn' is the numeric fee amount with the decimal implied. For example: 'D00000150' is a $1.50 transaction fee amount debited to the cardholder's account.

Note: If an amount is only specified, the component will generate the format above by prepending a 'D' and the necessary number of 0's.

TLID:   Transaction Link Identifier.

The Transaction Link Identifier (TLID) is used to track the life cycle of activity occurring after the original transaction and other related transactions. The TLID will be returned by Mastercard in the authorization response message. The returned value will also be present in the aggregate returned from the GetDetailAggregate method and for all subsequent transactions that utilize the aggregate (such as reversals, incrementals, settlement) the value will be automatically included in the request. When not utilizing the aggregate, you may explicitly set this config with the TLID value that was saved when the original transaction was performed.

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 MagneticStripe or Number fields.

UseConfirmationRequest:   Indicates whether or not to send a Confirmation Request authorization transaction.

When set to "True", a confirmation authorization transaction will be sent. In a confirmation request, TSYS will generate the Retrieval Reference Number (RetrievalNumber) and the System Trace Audit Number (Trace). When setting this property to "False" (default value), a NonConfirm authorization transaction will be sent. In these transactions, a Retrieval Reference Number, System Trace Audit Number, Local Date, and Local Time are NOT generated by TSYS and must be manually specified by the POS application. By default, the component will automatically generate these values for you. However you can override them by setting the following properties: LocalRetrievalNumber, LocalTransactionDate, , and LocalTransactionTime. Note the System Trace Audit Number is required to be the last 6 characters of the LocalRetrievalNumber and thus the component will automatically obtain and send this value for you.

Note: This setting is only valid for Debit and EBT/Benefit transactions.

LicenseInfo:   Information about the current license.

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the license this instance of a component 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 components: AS3Receiver, AS3Sender, Atom, Client(3DS), FTP, FTPServer, IMAP, OFTPClient, SSHClient, SCP, Server(3DS), Sexec, SFTP, SFTPServer, SSHServer, TCPClient, TCPServer.

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

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

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

This setting is set to False by default on all platforms.
