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

dpaymentssdk.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 MagneticStripe data for Prepaid cards can be either track1 or track2, but Gift cards support only the dsTrack2 EntryDataSource. Both types support manual entry via the Number, ExpMonth, and ExpYear 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 Code 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.

AgentBankNumber Property (TSYSGiftCard Class)

Identifies a specific agent entity of the member bank or processor.

Syntax

public String getAgentBankNumber();


public void setAgentBankNumber(String agentBankNumber);

Default Value

"000000"

Remarks

This field contains a six digit number assigned by the merchant's bank or processor. This field is issued by the merchant's member bank or processor for purposes of identifying a specific agent entity of the member bank or processor.

AgentChainNumber Property (TSYSGiftCard Class)

Identifies a specific chain of an agent organization.

Syntax

public String getAgentChainNumber();


public void setAgentChainNumber(String agentChainNumber);

Default Value

"000000"

Remarks

This field contains a six digit number assigned by the merchant's bank or processor. This field is issued by the merchant's member bank or processor for purpose of identifying a specific chain of an agent organization.

BatchNumber Property (TSYSGiftCard Class)

The batch number that this transaction will be included in.

Syntax

public int getBatchNumber();


public void setBatchNumber(int 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 class's BatchNumber property. The range is from 1 to 999.

Note, this property is ignored for Prepaid Card transactions.

Card Property (TSYSGiftCard Class)

Contains the customer's credit card information.

Syntax

public CCCard getCard();


public void setCard(CCCard 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 Track1 data is only applicable for Prepaid cards. For all other gift cards you must use 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 (TSYSGiftCard 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.

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.

CustomerAddress Property (TSYSGiftCard Class)

The customer's billing address.

Syntax

public String getCustomerAddress();


public void setCustomerAddress(String customerAddress);

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 throws an exception. 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.

CustomerZip Property (TSYSGiftCard Class)

Customer's zip code (or postal code if outside of the USA).

Syntax

public String getCustomerZip();


public void setCustomerZip(String customerZip);

Default Value

""

Remarks

This field is used as part of the Address Verification Service (AVS). If the customer resides within the United States, this field should contain the five or nine digit zip code as it appears on the customer's monthly statement. If the customer's billing address is outside of the United States, this field should contain the customer's postal code.

This field is an alphanumeric field with a maximum length of nine characters. Spaces and dashes are automatically stripped when the property is set.

EmployeeId Property (TSYSGiftCard Class)

Identification number of the Employee making this transaction.

Syntax

public String getEmployeeId();


public void setEmployeeId(String employeeId);

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property identifies the operator initiating this transaction, and should be a unique value defined for each employee within the merchant. This field is only required if the merchant participates in a program where operator level reporting is performed.

Note, this property is ignored for Prepaid Card transactions.

IndustryType Property (TSYSGiftCard Class)

Code which indicates the industry the merchant is engaged in.

Syntax

public int getIndustryType();


public void setIndustryType(int industryType);


Enumerated values:
  public final static int sitUnknown = 0;
  public final static int sitRetail = 1;
  public final static int sitRestaurant = 2;

Syntax

public TSYSMerchant getMerchant();


public void setMerchant(TSYSMerchant merchant);

Remarks

This property must be set to an instance of the TSYSMerchant type, which will contain information to identify the merchant to the TSYS processing server. Please see the TSYSMerchant type for a list of available fields.

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

MerchantABANumber Property (TSYSGiftCard Class)

Merchant's routing number.

Syntax

public String getMerchantABANumber();


public void setMerchantABANumber(String merchantABANumber);

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property identifies the merchant to a direct debit switch, and must be supplied for all debit request transactions. This number is provided by the signing member or processor, and should be exactly 9 digits in length.

MerchantSettlementAgent Property (TSYSGiftCard Class)

Merchant's settling agent.

Syntax

public String getMerchantSettlementAgent();


public void setMerchantSettlementAgent(String merchantSettlementAgent);

Default Value

OriginalPurchaseDate Property (TSYSGiftCard Class)

Date and time of original purchase, used for returns.

Syntax

public String getOriginalPurchaseDate();


public void setOriginalPurchaseDate(String originalPurchaseDate);

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property is only applicable for Debit Credit transactions and Gift Card Refund transactions. If supplied, this property must be 8 characters long and formatted as "MMDDhhmm" (month, day, hour, minute).

Note that this property is only valid for the ttGiftCardRefund TransactionType, and will be ignored for all other transactions.

PartialRedemption Property (TSYSGiftCard Class)

Partial Redemption indicator.

Syntax

public boolean isPartialRedemption();


public void setPartialRedemption(boolean partialRedemption);

Default Value

False

Remarks

If the customer does not have enough on his stored value card to cover the complete cost of the purchase, the merchant may request that the host perform a partial redemption. The stored value card will be used to fund as much of the transaction as possible, and the remainder may be funded by some other form of payment. When PartialRedemption is set to True, the host will supply the actual amount authorized from the stored value card in the AuthorizedAmount property.

Note that the AuthorizedAmount will only contain a value if PartialRedemption is set to True, and will remain blank otherwise. If the Stored Value card has a zero balance before submitting this transaction, it will be declined regardless of the value of PartialRedemption.

ReceivingInstitution Property (TSYSGiftCard Class)

Indicates which gift card network to use.

Syntax

public int getReceivingInstitution();


public void setReceivingInstitution(int receivingInstitution);


Enumerated values:
  public final static int riStoredValueSystems = 0;
  public final static int riFifthThird = 1;

Default Value

0

Remarks

This field contains a secondary network routing identifier, which indicates the gift card network to be used to process transactions. This is necessary because private issue gift card number ranges may conflict with ranges assigned to major credit card issuers. The supported receiving institutions include:

Note, this property is ignored for Prepaid Card transactions.

Response Property (TSYSGiftCard Class)

Contains the response to a debit authorization request.

Syntax

public TSYSDebitResponse getResponse();

Remarks

This property will contain the response returned from the TSYS server. It should be inspected (and logged) after an authorization to determine if the transaction was approved. The TSYSResponse type contains the following fields:

This property is read-only.

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

SSLAcceptServerCert Property (TSYSGiftCard Class)

Instructs the class to unconditionally accept the server certificate that matches the supplied certificate.

Syntax

public Certificate getSSLAcceptServerCert();


public void setSSLAcceptServerCert(Certificate SSLAcceptServerCert);

Remarks

If it finds any issues with the certificate presented by the server, the class will normally terminate the connection with an error.

You may override this behavior by supplying a value for SSLAcceptServerCert. If the certificate supplied in SSLAcceptServerCert is the same as the certificate presented by the server, then the server certificate is accepted unconditionally, and the connection will continue normally.

Please note that this functionality is provided only for cases where you otherwise know that you are communicating with the right server. If used improperly, this property may create a security breach. Use it at your own risk.

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

SSLCert Property (TSYSGiftCard Class)

The certificate to be used during SSL negotiation.

Syntax

public Certificate getSSLCert();


public void setSSLCert(Certificate SSLCert);

Remarks

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

SSLProvider Property (TSYSGiftCard Class)

This specifies the SSL/TLS implementation to use.

Syntax

public int getSSLProvider();


public void setSSLProvider(int SSLProvider);


Enumerated values:
  public final static int sslpAutomatic = 0;
  public final static int sslpPlatform = 1;
  public final static int sslpInternal = 2;

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:

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 the platform implementation is used by default. When TLS 1.3 is enabled via SSLEnabledProtocols the internal implementation is used.

SSLServerCert Property (TSYSGiftCard Class)

The server certificate for the last established connection.

Syntax

public Certificate getSSLServerCert();

Remarks

SSLServerCert contains the server certificate for the last established connection.

SSLServerCert is reset every time a new connection is attempted.

This property is read-only.

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

Timeout Property (TSYSGiftCard Class)

A timeout for the class.

Syntax

public int getTimeout();


public void setTimeout(int timeout);

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).

TransactionAmount Property (TSYSGiftCard Class)

Purchase amount to be authorized.

Syntax

public String getTransactionAmount();


public void setTransactionAmount(String 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 (TSYSGiftCard Class)

Sequence number of this transaction.

Syntax

public int getTransactionNumber();


public void setTransactionNumber(int 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.

TransactionType Property (TSYSGiftCard Class)

Specifies the type of Gift Card transaction to process.

Syntax

public int getTransactionType();


public void setTransactionType(int transactionType);


Enumerated values:
  public final static int ttGiftCardPurchase = 15;
  public final static int ttGiftCardRefund = 16;
  public final static int ttGiftCardAddValue = 17;
  public final static int ttGiftCardDecreaseValue = 18;
  public final static int ttGiftCardCloseCard = 19;
  public final static int ttGiftCardBalanceInquiry = 20;
  public final static int ttPrepaidCardActivation = 21;
  public final static int ttPrepaidCardLoad = 22;
  public final static int ttPrepaidCardPurchase = 23;
  public final static int ttPrepaidCardBalanceInquiry = 24;

Default Value

15

Remarks

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

Authorize Method (Tsysgiftcard Class)

Sends a Gift Card transaction.

Syntax

public void 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 Code 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 Balance property.

Config Method (Tsysgiftcard 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 (Tsysgiftcard 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()));

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.

Interrupt Method (Tsysgiftcard Class)

Interrupts the current action.

Syntax

public void interrupt();

Remarks

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

Reset Method (Tsysgiftcard Class)

Clears all properties to their default values.

Syntax

public void reset();

Remarks

This method clears all properties to their default values.

Connected Event (Tsysgiftcard Class)

Fired immediately after a connection completes (or fails).

Syntax

public class DefaultTsysgiftcardEventListener implements TsysgiftcardEventListener {
  ...
  public void connected(TsysgiftcardConnectedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class TsysgiftcardConnectedEvent {
  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 (Tsysgiftcard Class)

Fired when receiving a data packet from the transaction server.

Syntax

public class DefaultTsysgiftcardEventListener implements TsysgiftcardEventListener {
  ...
  public void dataPacketIn(TsysgiftcardDataPacketInEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class TsysgiftcardDataPacketInEvent {
  public byte[] dataPacket;
}

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 class.

DataPacketOut Event (Tsysgiftcard Class)

Fired when sending a data packet to the transaction server.

Syntax

public class DefaultTsysgiftcardEventListener implements TsysgiftcardEventListener {
  ...
  public void dataPacketOut(TsysgiftcardDataPacketOutEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class TsysgiftcardDataPacketOutEvent {
  public byte[] dataPacket;
}

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 (Tsysgiftcard Class)

Fired when a connection is closed.

Syntax

public class DefaultTsysgiftcardEventListener implements TsysgiftcardEventListener {
  ...
  public void disconnected(TsysgiftcardDisconnectedEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class TsysgiftcardDisconnectedEvent {
  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 (Tsysgiftcard Class)

Information about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

public class DefaultTsysgiftcardEventListener implements TsysgiftcardEventListener {
  ...
  public void error(TsysgiftcardErrorEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class TsysgiftcardErrorEvent {
  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 (Tsysgiftcard Class)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

public class DefaultTsysgiftcardEventListener implements TsysgiftcardEventListener {
  ...
  public void SSLServerAuthentication(TsysgiftcardSSLServerAuthenticationEvent e) {}
  ...
}

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

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

public class DefaultTsysgiftcardEventListener implements TsysgiftcardEventListener {
  ...
  public void SSLStatus(TsysgiftcardSSLStatusEvent e) {}
  ...
}

public class TsysgiftcardSSLStatusEvent {
  public String message;
}

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 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

Constructors

public CCCard();

public CCCard( number,  expMonth,  expYear);

public CCCard( magneticStripe,  entryDataSource);

Certificate Type

This is the digital certificate being used.

Remarks

This type describes the current digital certificate. The certificate may be a public or private key. The fields are used to identify or select certificates.

Fields

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 X.509 public key.

public Certificate( certificateData);

Parses CertificateData as an X.509 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 X.509 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 CryptoAPI option. The default value is True (the key is persisted). "Thumbprint" - an MD5, SHA-1, or SHA-256 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 X.509 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 X.509 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 X.509 certificate's subject Distinguished Name (DN).

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

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 X.509 certificate's subject Distinguished Name (DN).

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 X.509 certificate and search the opened store for a corresponding private key.
