P.O.S. Control / Payments / Media Type / Card Property

EFT category:

Select the payment category code to use with EFT. (Visa, Master Card, Amex or Others)

Electronic Fund Transfer:

Enabled

Hide card number:

This option can not be disabled with CISP compliant protocols. It masks some digits of the credit card number 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.
