TSYSBenefit Class

Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors

The TSYSBenefit class 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 class 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

dpaymentssdk.Tsysbenefit

Remarks

This class 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 class, any application or web page can be deployed without the need for expensive dedicated TLS/SSL servers.

The TSYSBenefit class 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 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:

TSYSBenefit1.Merchant.BankId = "999995"; TSYSBenefit1.Merchant.Number = "888000002447"; TSYSBenefit1.Merchant.Name = "TEST MERCHANT"; TSYSBenefit1.Merchant.TerminalNumber = "1515"; TSYSBenefit1.Merchant.StoreNumber = "5999"; TSYSBenefit1.Merchant.CategoryCode = "5999"; TSYSBenefit1.Merchant.City = "Durham"; TSYSBenefit1.Merchant.State = "NC"; TSYSBenefit1.Merchant.Zip = "27713"; TSYSBenefit1.Merchant.TimeZone = "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 class 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 class 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 class. 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.

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 field 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 Class)

Amount returned to the customer in cash.

Syntax


public String getCashBackAmount();


public void setCashBackAmount(String 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.

ettFoodStampReturn (9)	This transaction is used to refund money to a customer's Food Stamp account. This may only be used when a customer returns goods previously purchased using the ttFoodStampPurchase transaction type.
ettFoodStampVoucher (10)	This transaction is identical to a ttFoodStampPurchase, but is used when the merchant's point of sale system or the EBT network is offline. The merchant must call the EBT Voice Authorization network and receive a VoucherNumber and VoucherCode to submit with this transaction.
ettFoodStampBalanceInquiry (11)	This transaction retrieves the current available balance for the Food Stamp account associated with the customer's EBT card. The balance is returned in the Balance property.
ettCashBenefitWithdrawal (12)	This transaction is used to withdraw money from the Cash Benefit account associated with the customer's EBT card. The amount to withdraw is indicated by the TransactionAmount property. The CashBackAmount property must be empty ("") for authorization, but should match the TransactionAmount when this transaction is settled.
ettCashBenefitPurchase (13)	This transaction is used to purchase goods or services using funds from the Cash Benefit account associated with the customer's EBT card.

ettCashBenefitBalanceInquiry (14)	This transaction retrieves the current available balance for the Cash Benefit account associated with the customer's EBT card. The balance is returned in the Balance property.

The DebitPIN and DebitKSN properties are required for all transaction types except ttFoodStampVoucher. For most transactions, the CardTrack2Data property should be set with the magnetic stripe data from the card. If the magnetic stripe cannot be read, set CardTrack2Data to "" and set the CardNumber, CardExpMonth, and CardExpYear properties to send a manually-keyed transaction.

VoucherCode Property (TSYSBenefit Class)

Required for Food Stamp Voucher transactions.

Syntax


public String getVoucherCode();


public void setVoucherCode(String voucherCode);

Default Value

Remarks

This property is used when sending an EBT authorization request with the TransactionType set to ttFoodStampVoucher. This property should contain a 6-character Electronic Voucher Approval Code provided by the Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) voice authorization system.

Note: Voucher transactions are only sent because of a POS System or EBT Network unavailable condition.

VoucherNumber Property (TSYSBenefit Class)

Required for Food Stamp Voucher transactions.

Syntax


public String getVoucherNumber();


public void setVoucherNumber(String voucherNumber);

Default Value

Remarks

This property is used when sending an EBT authorization request with the TransactionType set to ttFoodStampVoucher. This property should contain a 15-character Electronic Voucher Serial Number provided by the Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) voice authorization system.

Note: Voucher transactions are only sent because of a POS System or EBT Network unavailable condition.

Authorize Method (Tsysbenefit Class)

Sends a Gift Card transaction.

Syntax

public void 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 Class)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

public String config(String configurationString);

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.

GetDetailAggregate Method (Tsysbenefit Class)

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

Syntax

public String 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 throws an exception.

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

TSYSRetail.Authorize() TSYSSettle.DetailRecords.Add(new TSYSRecordType(TSYSRetail.GetDetailAggregate()));

Interrupt Method (Tsysbenefit Class)

Interrupts the current action.

Syntax

public void interrupt();

Remarks

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

public class DefaultTsysbenefitEventListener implements TsysbenefitEventListener {
  ...
  public void connected(TsysbenefitConnectedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class TsysbenefitConnectedEvent {
  public int statusCode;
  public String description;
}

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 Class)

Fired when receiving a data packet from the transaction server.

Syntax

public class DefaultTsysbenefitEventListener implements TsysbenefitEventListener {
  ...
  public void dataPacketIn(TsysbenefitDataPacketInEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class TsysbenefitDataPacketInEvent {
  public byte[] dataPacket;
}

Remarks

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 class.

Disconnected Event (Tsysbenefit Class)

Fired when a connection is closed.

Syntax

public class DefaultTsysbenefitEventListener implements TsysbenefitEventListener {
  ...
  public void disconnected(TsysbenefitDisconnectedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class TsysbenefitDisconnectedEvent {
  public int statusCode;
  public String description;
}

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 Class)

Information about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

public class DefaultTsysbenefitEventListener implements TsysbenefitEventListener {
  ...
  public void error(TsysbenefitErrorEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class TsysbenefitErrorEvent {
  public int errorCode;
  public String description;
}

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 Class)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

public class DefaultTsysbenefitEventListener implements TsysbenefitEventListener {
  ...
  public void SSLServerAuthentication(TsysbenefitSSLServerAuthenticationEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class TsysbenefitSSLServerAuthenticationEvent {
  public byte[] certEncoded;
  public String certSubject;
  public String certIssuer;
  public String status;
  public boolean accept;
}

Remarks

This event is where the client can decide whether to continue with the connection process or not. 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 to continue or not.

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 Class)

Shows the progress of the secure connection.

Syntax

public class DefaultTsysbenefitEventListener implements TsysbenefitEventListener {
  ...
  public void SSLStatus(TsysbenefitSSLStatusEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class TsysbenefitSSLStatusEvent {
  public String message;
}

Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. Used to track 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 class are solely dependant on the value of EntryDataSource. If you set the Number, ExpMonth, and ExpYear fields, but EntryDataSource is set to edsTrack2, the class will look for MagneticStripe data when authorizing the transaction, and will throws an exception because none is present.

Fields

CardType
int
Default Value: 0

Type of credit card being used in this transaction. This field contains the customer's credit card type. This is automatically computed after the Number is set, but it can also be changed manually. A list of valid card types is included below.

ExpMonth
int
Default Value: 1

Expiration month of the credit card specified in Number.

This field contains the expiration date of the customer's credit card, and must be in the range 1 - 12.

ExpYear
int
Default Value: 2000

Expiration year of the credit card specified in Number.

This field contains the expiration date of the customer's credit card. This field must be in the range 0 - 99, or 2000 - 2099. Any date before the year 2000 or after 2099 cannot be specified.

IsEncrypted
boolean
Default Value: False

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

By default, when the Number or MagneticStripe fields are set, the value will be validated and normalized. For instance, "4444-33332222 1111" will be normalized as "4444333322221111" and MagneticStripe data will be parsed for the track specified by EntryDataSource. 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 Number or MagneticStripe 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.

MagneticStripe
String
Default Value: ""

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

If EntryDataSource is not one of the manually entered enumerations, then this field must be set with the track1 or track2 data from the magnetic stripe on the back of the customer's credit card. This includes everything after but not including the start sentinel (% or ;) and up to but not including the end sentinel (?) and LRC check character. You may only set this field with track 1 or track 2 data, and may not pass both. Use the EntryDataSource field to indicate which track you are sending.

The following example shows how to set the MagneticStripe and EntryDataSource fields if the data read off the card is "%B4788250000028291^TSYS^05121015432112345678?;4788250000028291=05121015432112345678?"

class.Card = new CCCard("B4788250000028291^TSYS^05121015432112345678", dsTrack1) or class.Card = new CCCard("4788250000028291=05121015432112345678", dsTrack2) or CCCardType Card = new CCCard() Card.MagneticStripe = "B4788250000028291^TSYS^05121015432112345678" Card.EntryDataSource = dsTrack1

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.

Number
String
Default Value: ""

Customer's credit card number for the transaction.

If you're sending the transaction with MagneticStripe data, this field should be left empty.

Constructors

public Certificate();

Creates a Certificate instance whose properties can be set. This is useful for use with CERTMGR when generating new certificates.

public Certificate( certificateFile);

Opens CertificateFile and reads out the contents as an X509 public key.

public Certificate( certificateData);

Parses CertificateData as an X509 public key.

public Certificate( certStoreType,  store,  storePassword,  subject);

CertStoreType identifies the type of certificate store to use. See StoreType for descriptions of the different certificate stores. Store is a file containing the certificate store. StorePassword is the password used to protect the store. After the store has been successfully opened, the class will attempt to find the certificate identified by Subject . This can be either a complete or a substring match of the X509 certificate's subject Distinguished Name (DN).

public Certificate( certStoreType,  store,  storePassword,  subject,  configurationString);

CertStoreType identifies the type of certificate store to use. See StoreType for descriptions of the different certificate stores. Store is a file containing the certificate store. StorePassword is the password used to protect the store. ConfigurationString is a newline separated list of name-value pairs that may be used to modify the default behavior. Possible values include "PersistPFXKey", which shows whether or not the PFX key is persisted after performing operations with the private key. This correlates to the PKCS12_NO_PERSIST_KEY CyrptoAPI option. The default value is True (the key is persisted). "Thumbprint" - a MD5, SHA1, or SHA256 thumbprint of the certificate to load. When specified, this value is used to select the certificate in the store. This is applicable to cstUser, cstMachine, cstPublicKeyFile, and cstPFXFile store types. "UseInternalSecurityAPI" shows whether the platform (default) or the internal security API is used when performing certificate-related operations. After the store has been successfully opened, the class will attempt to find the certificate identified by Subject . This can be either a complete or a substring match of the X509 certificate's subject Distinguished Name (DN).

public Certificate( certStoreType,  store,  storePassword,  encoded);

CertStoreType identifies the type of certificate store to use. See StoreType for descriptions of the different certificate stores. Store is a file containing the certificate store. StorePassword is the password used to protect the store. After the store has been successfully opened, the class will load Encoded as an X509 certificate and search the opened store for a corresponding private key.

public Certificate( certStoreType,  storeBlob,  storePassword,  subject);

CertStoreType identifies the type of certificate store to use. See StoreType for descriptions of the different certificate stores. StoreBlob is a string (binary- or base64-encoded) containing the certificate data. StorePassword is the password used to protect the store. After the store has been successfully opened, the class will attempt to find the certificate identified by Subject . This can be either a complete or a substring match of the X509 certificate's subject Distinguished Name (DN).

public Certificate( certStoreType,  storeBlob,  storePassword,  subject,  configurationString);

public Certificate( certStoreType,  storeBlob,  storePassword,  encoded);

CertStoreType identifies the type of certificate store to use. See StoreType for descriptions of the different certificate stores. Store is a string (binary- or base64-encoded) containing the certificate store. StorePassword is the password used to protect the store. After the store has been successfully opened, the class will load Encoded as an X509 certificate and search the opened store for a corresponding private key.

Contains the response to the authorization.

Remarks

This type contains the results of a transaction made with the TSYSBenefit class. The fields 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 field 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 field 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 field 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: ""

Config Settings (Tsysbenefit 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.

TSYSBenefit 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 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.

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.

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.

HeartlandDeviceId: Specifies a device ID to uniquely identify each terminal (card data entry device).

The specified value must be 4 characters or less. Note that this value is required to comply with MasterCard's Authorization Data Accuracy Initiative.

The specified value must contain a 12-character numeric value. It is suggested that the first 4 characters be the Julian date (yddd) and the remaining 8 characters are a numeric transaction identification number. If this value is set to "" (empty string), the component will generate a Retrieval Reference Number for you when the authorization request is sent.

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

LocalTransactionDate: Specifies the local transaction date to use in a NonConfirm authorization request.

This property is used to specify the local transaction date to use in a NonConfirm authorization request (when UseConfirmationRequest = "False"). The specified value must be in MMDDYY format.

Note: Setting this configuration setting in TSYSDetailRecord class 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 class to correctly generate the request and parse the response). The available values are:


0	TSYS (default)
1	Heartland

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

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.

Timeout: A timeout for the component.

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).

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.

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.

GUIAvailable: Tells the class whether or not a message loop is available for processing events.

In a GUI-based application, long-running blocking operations may cause the application to stop responding to input until the operation returns. The class will attempt to discover whether or not the application has a message loop and, if one is discovered, it will process events in that message loop during any such blocking operation.

In some non-GUI applications, an invalid message loop may be discovered that will result in errant behavior. In these cases, setting GUIAvailable to false will ensure that the class does not attempt to process external events.

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.

UseDaemonThreads: Whether threads created by the class are daemon threads.

If set to True (default), when the class creates a thread, the thread's Daemon property will be explicitly set to True. When set to False, the class will not set the Daemon property on the created thread. The default value is True.

UseInternalSecurityAPI: Tells the class 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 setting to true tells the class to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries.

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