TSYSHCECommerce Class

Properties Methods Events Config Settings Errors

The TSYSHCECommerce class is used to authorize credit cards in both Mail Order (Direct Marketing) and eCommerce environments, where the customer is ordering products or services via the telephone or Internet. This class makes authorizing these types of transactions very easy.

Syntax

class dpaymentssdk.TSYSHCECommerce

Remarks

This class allows for simple, direct, secure connection 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.

The TSYSHCECommerce class makes authorizing Card-Not-Present Mail Order and E-Commerce 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 and POS specific properties with setup information acquired from your member bank or processor. For instance:

TSYSHCECommerce1.GenKey = "gen_key_value" TSYSHCECommerce1.MerchantId = "merchant_id" TSYSHCECommerce1.RoutingId = "routing_id"

Then, set the customer's credit card information, as well as his address and zip code (the address and zip code will be checked by the Vital/TSYS servers to make sure it matches the customer's billing address).

TSYSHCECommerce1.CardNumber = "4444333322221111" TSYSHCECommerce1.CardExpMonth = 1 TSYSHCECommerce1.CardExpYear = 2013 TSYSHCECommerce1.CardCVVData = "999" TSYSHCECommerce1.CustomerAddress = "8320 South Hardy Dr." TSYSHCECommerce1.CustomerZip = "85284"

Next, set properties that contain details about the transaction. At the minimum, you must set a transaction_amount and transaction_number. However, you may also set the transaction_type if you are doing a Mail Order or Recurring transaction.

TSYSHCECommerce1.TransactionNumber = 1 TSYSHCECommerce1.TransactionAmount = "100" TSYSHCECommerce1.TransactionType = ttECommerce

Finally, submit the transaction by calling one of four authorization methods. sale, credit, authenticate_card or balance_inquiry. The following code demonstrates a purchase: TSYSHCECommerce1.Sale()

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

Once a credit card sale or credit is approved and is added to the current batch. 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 automatically via a Scheduled Close Batch event that you have setup on your Host Capture Terminal Profile. Alternatively you can manually close a batch by using the TSYSHCBatchMgr class.

Note: The TSYSHCECommerce class can be used to pass 3D-Secure and MasterCard SecureCode authentication data in an authorization to achieve a better interchange rate. To send this data, the ECI, XID and CAVV (3D-Secure), UCAFCollectionIndicator, UCAFSecurityIndicator and UCAFData (MasterCard SecureCode) configuration variables must be set before calling sale. The CAVV and UCAF authentication result code will be returned in the ResponseCAVV and ResponseUCAF configuration settings, respectively. For Mastercard Identity Check transactions you must set the ProgramProtocol and DirectoryServerTxnID configs.

Syntax

def get_capture_mode() -> int: ...
def set_capture_mode(value: int) -> None: ...

capture_mode = property(get_capture_mode, set_capture_mode)

Default Value

Remarks

This property is used to specify the capture mode to be used when performing an authorization or an adjustment transaction.

Possible values are:


Normal (0)	The transaction will be added to the current batch, as specified by BatchNumber, if successfully authorized.
Delay (1)	Indicates that the transaction should not be captured in the current batch without adjustment. If the transaction is adjusted before the current batch closes, then the transaction will be captured in the current batch. If the transaction is not adjusted before the current batch closes, the transaction will be captured in the next batch with or without adjustment.

Capture (3)	When Capture is specified in an adjustment transaction, the batch processing exclusion will be removed in which the transaction will be captured in the current batch.

If you wish to add Level 3 data, you will want to set capture_mode to Delay (1) when issuing the initial authorization. Then once the Level 3 request is successfully issued, the transaction will be captured in the next batch close event.

Note: To use the Hold and Capture modes, the merchant must be established as a Hold Capture participant.

Note: To use the Delay mode, the merchant must be established as a Delay Capture participant.

card_is_encrypted = property(get_card_is_encrypted, set_card_is_encrypted)

Default Value

FALSE

Remarks

Determines whether data set to the card_number or card_magnetic_stripe fields is validated.

By default, when the card_number or card_magnetic_stripe fields are set, the value will be validated and normalized. For instance, "4444-33332222 1111" will be normalized as "4444333322221111" and card_magnetic_stripe data will be parsed for the track specified by card_entry_data_source. 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 card_number or card_magnetic_stripe fields, and this can be accomplished by setting IsEncrypted to true. However, please note that in doing so automatic calculation of the card_type may be affected, and the card number will not be verified.

card_magnetic_stripe Property

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

Syntax

def get_card_magnetic_stripe() -> str: ...
def set_card_magnetic_stripe(value: str) -> None: ...

card_magnetic_stripe = property(get_card_magnetic_stripe, set_card_magnetic_stripe)

Default Value

Remarks

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

If card_entry_data_source is not one of the manually entered enumerations, then this property 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 property with track 1 or track 2 data, and may not pass both. Use the card_entry_data_source property to indicate which track you are sending.

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

class.CardMagneticStripe = "B4788250000028291^TSYS^05121015432112345678" class.CardEntryDataSource = edsTrack1 or class.CardMagneticStripe = "4788250000028291=05121015432112345678" class.CardEntryDataSource = edsTrack2

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.

The customer's billing address.

Syntax

def get_customer_address() -> str: ...
def set_customer_address(value: str) -> None: ...

customer_address = property(get_customer_address, set_customer_address)

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 customer_zip property.

This property is an alphanumeric field. Due to concerns with International addresses and changing specifications, the component does not do any processing on the address. The address will be included in the authorization request exactly as you set it.

Per TSYS specs, the following rules apply:

In the address, numbers are not spelled out. "First Street" becomes "1ST Street," "Second" becomes "2ND," and so on.
There must be a (space) between two consecutive data elements that are only numeric.

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

Note the following examples:

"1234 56th Street" is equivalent to: "1234 56Street"
"1234 56th Street" is NOT equivalent to: "123456Street" //do not strip all spaces between two numbers
"1391 ELM STREET" is equivalent to: "1391ELMSTREET"
"P.O. BOX 24356" is equivalent to: "POBOX24356"

The length of this property is 19 characters, and any string longer than this fails with an error. If the customer's address is much greater than the length of this field, it is admissible to include only the street number in this field.
