12 Verifone Point (US)

This chapter covers EFTLink integration with Verifone Point.

EFTLink General

This document assumes static EFTLink configuration. When deploying with a POS that supports dynamic configuration, all property settings referred to below should be set on the POS, and not directly into local property files. It should be read in conjunction with the Oracle Retail EFTLink Framework Installation and Configuration Guide.

Disambiguation

This Point implementation is for use with Mx915 terminals in the US, with communication based on a socket/XML protocol. There is also a Point implementation in Norway, which is unrelated.

Minimum Version

The Point interface requires a minimum EFTLink version of 17.0.1.

System Architecture

Verifone Point is deployed as an intelligent terminal. EFTLink connects directly to the terminal using a proprietary socket/XML protocol.

Fileset

In addition to standard EFTLink files, PointUS uses:

• cores/pointus/pointuscore.jar – executable code for the PointUS EFTLink core.

• pointus.properties – configuration settings to specify which features are enabled and to define communication parameters for the interface with the EFT terminal.

Note: If the POS supports dynamic configuration, properties can be set there instead of in pointus.properties.

Language

The translation files for this core should not require alteration, but if necessary then this can accomplished by amending the relevant Lang<CC>_<Core>.properties within the base eftlink folder.

The language used will follow the language set in the EFTLink framework; see the Oracle Retail EFTLink Framework Installation and Configuration Guide, EFTLink General Information, Translation section.

EftlinkConfig.properties

DisplayLanguage = EN

Supported country codes are: CN, DE, EN, ES, FR, IT, JP, NL, PT, RU and SV.

Core Classname

The following should have been set in the EftlinkConfig.properties file by installcore.bat or installcore.sh:

EPSCore0 = manito.eft.pointus.PointUSCore

Configuration Settings

The full set of configuration properties is defined and commented in pointus.properties.

Key Settings

Settings that may be different for each POS/PED.

Administration Functions

The terminal has some administration/maintenance functions. These can only be invoked from a dedicated EFT Maintenance menu button.

EFTLink uses DeviceProxy messages to display input prompts on the POS to manage these functions.

Table 12-3 Verifone Point (US) - Administration Functions

Function	Description
Terminal-POS Pairing	The terminal has to be paired with a specific POS, by entering a code
Registration	This operation displays a 4-digit number on the POS that must then be typed into the terminal to complete the pairing.
Un-registration	This operation removes a pairing.
Test MAC	This operation tests that the terminal is accessible and that a pairing in pace.
Day Report	Print a non-closing day report (summary)
Day End	Print a day report and close the current day. Manual alternative to automated ReconciliationWithClosure.
Last Transaction	Print details of the last transaction at the terminal.

Supported Functions

Below is a list of supported functionalities of the interface to PointUS. Many functionalities are provided by PointUS, such as Loyalty, Cashback and so on. (Please refer to interface specification for details) but are not implemented because of the business requirement.

Table 12-4 Verifone Point (US) - Supported Functions

Function	Description
Payment	Sends payment request to the terminal. Terminal will return a response message with unformatted receipt strings for customer and/or merchant receipts. In an event of referral where authorization cannot be obtained online then a prompt for authorization code will appear; authorization code must be obtained via telephone and entered here. If successful, appropriate receipts will be printed at the end of transaction.
Reversal	Sends reversal request to the terminal. This will reverse a transaction specified by the transaction number, found on the receipt, which must be captured by the POS and pass on to EFTLink.
Refund	Sends refund request to the terminal. This will refund a transaction with specified amount.
Reconciliation / Settlement	This is supported directly by the terminal via TCP/IP request.
Sale State Notifications	Sends line items through to the device so the customer display can be updated in line with the POS.
SVC Payment	Sends a gift or merchandise credit card payment request to the terminal. If there are not enough funds available, only the funds available will be deducted. The POS client will have to settle the transaction with another tender in this scenario.
SVC Activate	Sends a gift or merchandise credit card activation request to the terminal.
SVC Deactivate	Sends a gift or merchandise credit card deactivation request to the terminal. The account is disabled after this as the request is intended to be used for lost or stolen cards. It is not possible to use the card or account once this request has been issued and accepted.
SVC Add Value	Sends a gift or merchandise credit card add value request to the terminal. This will only add value to an account that has been activated.
SVC Balance Enquiry	Sends a gift or merchandise credit card balance enquiry request to the terminal.
SVC Unload (Cashout)	Sends a gift or merchandise credit card cash out request to the terminal. All funds are deducted from the account and the cash back amount is returned to the POS. The account is not deactivated as part of this process.
Custom form for displaying a message	Sends a request to the terminal that displays the message text passed by the POS. The core sends a success or a failure flag back to the POS.
Custom form for customer question/verification	Sends a request to the terminal with a question/verification message. The customer selects either the Yes or No button. The core sends 'Y' or 'N' as part of the response to the POS.
Custom form for capturing phone number	Sends a request to the terminal triggering a phone number capture. The customer keys in their phone number and hit submit. The core sends the captured phone number to the POS.
Custom form for signature capture	Sends a request to the terminal to capture signature. The customer signs and hit accept. The core sends the decoded signature to the POS.
Custom form for capturing email address	Sends a request to the terminal triggering an email address capture. The customer keys in their email address in the virtual keyboard and selects the Enter key. The core sends the captured email address to the POS.
Custom form for customer survey	Sends a request to the terminal to present a survey. The number of choices could be from 1 to 5 or 1 to 10.

The label of each button is set by the POS. The sixth label is used as cancel. The customer selects a button. The core sends the label of the selected button back to the POS.
Custom form for QR code display	Sends a request to the terminal to display QR code. The terminal generates a QR image corresponding to payload data sent from the POS and displays the image on screen with appropriate text and/or button label.
Custom form for cancelling QR code display	Sends a request to the terminal to clear the QR code image in the PED. The PED goes back to the previous screen afterwards.
