Quick Start Tutorial

After installing PC Verifier, you can launch PC Verifier from the Start menu. To launch PC Verifier:

Click on the Start button located on the Windows Taskbar

Select Programs, then the PC Verifier menu.
The PC Verifier menu contains links to on-line updates, product information, and help. It is recommended that you periodically check for updates, as international Credit Card specifications and external devices are constantly improving.

Select PC Verifier to launch the program file.
Each time you launch PC Verifier, you will be asked to enter your log-on password. The log-on password identifies you as a unique User or Rep (Representative) ID with a specific level of access or as an administrator. For more information on User or Rep IDs, please see Adding/Modifying Users.

Enter an Administrator password.
The first time you use PC Verifier on any workstation, you will be asked to enter and confirm a new administrator password. If an administrator password was already assigned, simply enter your user password (or administrator password). In this tutorial we assume that you are launching PC Verifier for the first time and will be in administrator mode.

Replace Merchant ID 10000 with Merchant ID 10011.
Merchant ID (MID) 10011 is a test account for your Payment Gateway. Merchant ID 10000 is a fictitious Merchant ID for XYZ Corporation that does not send any information to your payment gateway and does not use an Internet connection. If you have not yet setup an internet connection with your workstation, you can use MID 10000 to test some of the features of PC Verifier. MID 10011, however, works with your payment gateway. You can process credit cards and checks like you would with your own valid Merchant ID. Authorizations will be returned from the transaction servers, but will not be processed with the merchant bank. Thus, MID 10011 can be used to test all the features of PC Verifier using any credit card or check. The tutorials presented here will always use MID 10011 or MID 10000. It is recommended that you use the MID 10011 while testing PC Verifier and getting to understand and use of its features. Do not forget to switch to your “LIVE” account before you perform actual transactions for your business

Enter Password 1234.
The password is masked for security reasons.

Confirm the password and click OK.
For a new MID, PC Verifier will log into the merchant gateway and confirm your merchant information and password. It will also obtain your Merchant Information (name, address, and telephone number) which is displayed on the main screen and on receipts (this information can be changed from the Options screen. See Modifying Merchant Information for details). After a successful response, the main screen is displayed.

Click on Cards.
This will display the Credit Card Sales screen. You can also press the F2 function key. If you have a credit card reader attached to your workstation and setup under options, you can simply swipe the credit card, enter an amount, and click on Process (or press F12). The transaction is processed and an authorization code is returned for a valid transaction. You can also perform a keyed transaction. Tutorials for each of these is located in the section Working with Credit Cards.

To exit the program, click on the X located in the upper right corner of PC Verifier.
