The parameters in the table below are defined on the Interface Parameter Maintenance screen for the PayPal (VeriSign) payment handler:
Parameter |
Description |
---|---|
ACTIVE |
The status of the Payment Handler and Merchant combination. Only active merchants can be used when processing credit cards, setting up Cash accounts, and running batch jobs.
Valid options: · Y (default) · N |
CCP_AUTH_HOLD_PERIOD |
The number of days a credit card authorization can be held for backorders. This parameter was moved here from the APP_PARAMETER table in the 7.3 release. By default, this is set to 8. |
CURRENCY |
The currency the Payment Handler operates in. By default, this is set to USD. |
FORCED REFUND |
This parameter controls whether VeriSign processes refunds to credit cards that were settled outside of Personify (such as a lockbox processor). If you set this to “Y,” then you must also verify the merchant transaction settings are as follows: · Allow Non-referenced Credits = Yes · Credits may exceed original transaction amount = Yes
Valid options: · Y · N (default) |
IGNORE_AVS |
This parameter controls whether the authorization process takes the Address Verification System (AVS) into account. AVS refers to the street address or PO Box number. To comply with PA-DSS standards, this AVS code is not stored in the database. This parameter was added in the 7.3.0 release. Set this parameter to “N” for a higher level of security. This parameter applies to both back office and web transactions.
Valid options: · Y (default) · N |
IGNORE_CVV |
This parameter controls whether the authorization process takes the CVV or CVV2 code into account. To comply with PA-DSS standards, this CVV code is not stored in the database. This parameter was added in the 7.3.0 release. Set this parameter to “N” for a higher level of security.
Valid options: · Y (default) · N |
IGNORE_ZIP |
This parameter controls whether the authorization process takes the zip code or postal code into account. Even though the US has a ZIP +4 code, this parameter only takes the first five digits of the zip code or postal code into account. To comply with PA-DSS standards, this AVS code is not stored in the database. This parameter was added in the 7.3 release. Set this parameter to “N” for a higher level of security.
Valid options: · Y (default) · N |
MERCHANT LOGON |
The user ID for logging on to the PayPayl Manager website. This is required to process transactions. |
MERCHANT PASSWORD |
The password used for logging on to the PayPal Manager website. This is required to process transactions. Once entered, this password will display encrypted. This is necessary for PA-DSS compliance. |
PARTNER |
The partner name used for logging on to the PayPal Manager website. This is required to process transactions. |
PRE VALIDATE CREDIT CARD |
Added with the 7.3.0 release, this parameter controls whether organizations pre-validate a credit card by generating a zero-dollar authorization before processing the credit card for full authorization. The pre-validation tests the CVV or AVS so that the customer has the opportunity to provide the correct information.
When this parameter is set to “Y” and either “Ignore AVS” = “N” or “Ignore CVV” = “N”, then the system will generate a zero-dollar authorization to validate the account information before processing the credit card for full authorization.
Valid options: · Y · N (default) |
USE ACCOUNT VERIFICATION |
Added with the 7.3.0 release, if your processor does not support zero-dollar authorizations, then you can set this to “N”.
Valid options: · Y (default) · N |
VENDOR |
The vendor name used for logging on to the PayPal Manager website. This is required to process transactions. |
