Merchant Number:
Merchant number received from Concord EFSnet.
Use Pre-Authorization:
Enabled for fine dinning restaurants.
Disabled for fast-food restaurants and retail.
Pre-authorization:
DO NOT ADD AN ESTIMATED TIP PERCENTAGE. Restaurant estimated-tip
authorization rules for restaurant credit card is to get authorization
for the transaction amount presented to the cardholder, with NO amount
added for an estimated tip. These rules prohibit merchants other than
lodging and car rental merchants from requesting an authorization for
an estimated amount. For restaurant merchants, a tip can be added to the
transaction after authorization, and will be settled and funded for the
total amount of the purchase, including the tip. Typically, restaurants
are protected on charge-backs up to 120% of the authorized amount, which
should not be an issue unless the tip on a charged-back transaction was
over 20%. Not complying with this requirement can result in fines and
penalties, as well as those transactions being subject to higher interchange
costs related to non-qualifying transactions.
Note: Lodging and car rental merchants may do a pre-authorization
for an amount greater than the totals of the check.
Maximum overflow:
Enter the amount of maximum overflow. If a customer enters an amount
on the credit card receipt that is greater than the check total, the maximum
overflow is the percentage of the check total that the customer's payment
cannot exceed. If the employee enters a credit card payment amount that
exceeds the maximum overflow percentage, the system does not accept the
payment, and you would have to re-authorize the transaction, including
the tip. Typically you would set this field to 20% because merchants are
usually protected on charge-backs up to 120% of the authorized amount.
Note: If this field is set to 0.00%, no verification is made
about maximum overflow and you can enter any amount greater than the check
total.

Electronic Fund Transfer:

Hide Card Number:
This option can not be disabled with CISP compliant protocols. It
always masks the first digits of the credit card number and only shows
the last four digits on the EFT voucher.
Validation:
If you enable this option, the Back-Office verifies if the credit
card number entered agrees with certain digits that are always present
in credit card account numbers. If you disable this option, the Back-Office
does not validate the credit card number. You can override this option
from the workstation by entering a minus sign after the card number.
Expiration:
Enabled. The expiration date of a credit card has to be entered in
the format MM / YY.
Debit card:
Disabled
Number of digits:
Some credit card companies have credit card numbers that may vary
in their total number of digits. For example, Visa cards may have either
13 or 16-digit numbers, whereas other cards have a set number of digits,
for example, Master Card cards that have 16 digits and American Express
cards that have 15. Two fields should be filled in order to validate the
credit card number's length. Type the credit card's appropriate number
of digits in the first field then type 0 in the second field to specify
that this is a fixed number of digits (zero is the default for the second
field). Conversely, you will need to enter a number of digits in each
field for cards, such as Visa, that have two possible card number lengths.
Type in 0 in both fields for credit card numbers with varying lengths,
which will remove the need to validate the number of digits.
Starting With:
Type in the first digits of the credit card. Some credit card
numbers always begin with the same digits. These digits can be used for
validation. For example: For Visa payment type's "Starting with"
field, type in 4. For Master Card, type in 5, and for American Express,
type in 34 or 37. If both fields are blank, the first digit is not selected.
Note: Remaining information is as per customer's preferences.
