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

PARTNER

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
