Credit Card Processing

Oracle Payment Interface Support

You can now process credit card transactions with the Oracle Payment Interface (OPI) (formerly MICROS Payment Gateway). This enhancement simplifies credit card payment configuration by allowing Simphony to communicate with different credit card processors using a single payment driver in addition to:
  • Enhancing security by preventing card holder data from being stored within Simphony.

  • Eliminating credit card batch processing in Simphony by automating end of day settlement for credit card transactions through the OPI.

The OPI interface contains the following functionality:
  • Authorizing credit card payments

  • Voiding manual or automatic credit card authorizations on a check

  • Sending credit card finalizing requests

  • Re-printing credit card voucher and receipts

  • Refunding credit card transactions

  • Sending end of day (EOD) settlement

  • Tipping

  • Processing chip and PIN based cards

  • Signature capturing

The Oracle Hospitality Simphony Configuration Guide contains more information about configuring the OPI payment driver.

Added support for MasterCard's Bank Identification Numbers (BIN) credit card number range. The new MasterCard BIN credit card numbers range from 222100 to 272099 and will take affect sometime in 2017.
