If you choose not to enter a username, one will be assigned to the merchant by a customer service agent when the application is processed.

Console Version

Click on the drop-down menu to choose the merchants console version. Select "Version 1" for the Legacy Console or "Version 2" for the most recent console version.

Call In Passcode

You may choose to create a call-in password with which merchants will be required to verify their identity when calling customer service. The call-in password is optional. If a password is entered, the merchant will be required to provide it when contacting customer service. This password is visible to customer service agents and should not be the same as the merchant's login password.

Note: This field is optional.

API Keys

You can choose to create one or more API keys for the new merchant you add.

Each source used by a merchant (such as their point of sale system, online shopping cart, mobile device, etc.) is assigned a unique "Key" by the gateway. This key is used to identify the source of each transaction when it is processed through the gateway. Each source and its corresponding key is stored in the Sources and Keys section of the Merchant Console.

You may enter the name of a source here, or you may choose to wait until the merchant application has been processed.

Each source key can have an assigned PIN, but a PIN should only be assigned to the source key if you are sure that the merchant's software can support a PIN. If you are not sure, please leave the PIN space blank.

If you choose to include a source in the new merchant application so that a key can be generated, please include an email address in the "Email Key To" space. Once the key has been generated by the gateway, the merchant will receive important information about the key via this email address.

Source Key (optional)
Key Name	The name of the source to which the key will belong (i.e. POS, eCart, Mobile Device, etc.)
PIN	PIN (Personal Identification Number) assigned to the key (optional) only enter if you are sure a PIN will be supported by the merchant's software
Delivery	Possible Options: - Email- Email the api key to an email address. This option will require you to enter an email to send the API key info to. - Software Vendor- Select software to create an API key for, and to integrate to. This option will require you to select a software vedor from the list.

Advanced Settings

You can also adjust the advances settings for the api key.

• Allowed Commands - Select the commands the API key will be permitted to process. Your allowed commands should be based on who will be using the source, how public it is, and the specific fraud modules you plan to add. Available commands: Sale, Auth Only, Check Sale, Cash Sale, Credit, Post Auth, Check Credit, Cash Credit, Void, and Capture.
• Duplicate Transaction Handling - This setting allows you to prevent fraud by catching similar or identical transactions occurring within a set period of time. Please Note: This option is not compatible with check transactions and should not be used in conjunction with the Duplicate Detection fraud module.
  • This feature folds transactions when two or more transactions:
    • 1) happen within the specified Time Limit AND
    • 2) the specified criteria matches.
  • In the event a duplicate transaction is detected, the system will fold in the second transaction and the customer will be shown the first authorization again. To enable this feature enter a number of minutes in the "Time Limit" field and select one of the following options in the drop down menu:
    • None: Selecting this option leaves this feature DISABLED. This is the default setting.
    • Fold if ALL data matches: Transactions processed within the time limit where all transaction data matches will be folded. Duplicate transactions must be processed on this payment form to be folded.
    • Fold if card #, amount, order ID, and source match: Transactions processed within the time limit with the same card number, amount, and order ID will be folded. Duplicate transactions must processed on this payment form to be folded.
    • Fold if card # and amount match: Transactions processed within the time limit with the same card number and amount will be folded. When this option is enabled, the gateway looks at ALL previous transactions on the account (not just those processed on this form), when determining if a transaction is a duplicate.
• Transaction Timeout - Enter the maximum time you would like transactions to wait before the transaction times out. This should be entered in seconds.
• Expired Authorizations - Select from the drop down menu on what actions to take for expired authorizations. Options are shown below:
  • Ignore expiration and capture original auth - Checks "Expire Auth After" in settings. If authorization has expired, it will force a capture of the original authorization. Please Note: Maximum "Expire Auth After" setting is 30 days. We would not recommend capturing transactions over 60 days due to the charge back risk.
  • Block capture and return error - Checks "Expire Auth After" in settings. If authorization has expired, an error will be returned.
  • Re-authorize transaction - Checks "Expire Auth After" in settings. If the authorization has expired, it will attempt to reauthorize the same card.
• Email Merchant Receipt To - Any emailed merchant receipts will be sent to this email address. You may add more than one email by adding additional emails on new lines.
• Allowed IP’s - Enter a whitelist of the allowed IP addresses, with each IP address on its own line. To allow all IP addresses, leave the field blank.
