1 Oracle Retail EFTLink

This document highlights the major changes for Release 25.0.0 of Oracle Retail EFTLink.

Overview

Oracle Retail EFTLink provides the payment foundation for Xstore Point of Service and is a middleware product that enables Oracle to remove Xstore Point of Service from the costly and frequently changing Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS).

As retailers continue to investigate the most cost effective ways in which they can become compliant with PCI standards, EFTLink provides a tested and mature approach that is already deployed in over ten countries. The solution has been adopted as the strategic approach for Xstore Point of Service and enables the rapid support of payment solutions in new markets by working with payment providers who are local and/or offer an extensive international network.

EFTLink uses an industry-standard interface to the point of service and then translates the messages to the relevant format provided by the payment provider, enabling the POS to be outside of the payment scope.

Functional Enhancements

The following is a list of functional enhancements made to EFTLink since the last release.

  • Update to Java version 21.
  • Support for the OPIRetail PaymentQuery in ReST API.

OPI Retail

  • The OPI Retail core allows the PSPPaymentBrand field to be returned directly to the POS in the CardCircuit response field.
  • The OPI Retail core now has the capability to include the OPI partner name in the validation that it performs to prevent referenced refunds being sent to different OPI implementations.
  • The OPI Retail core has added three new fields to the response data sent to the POS following a CardAcquisition request: FundingSourceType, PSPPaymentBrand, and PSPPaymentVariant.
  • EWallet enhancements to streamline configuration and reconciliation.
