Tutorial – Adding your Primary Merchant ID

In this tutorial, you must be logged on as the Administrator. Your workstation/computer must also be able to connect to the Internet each time you use PC Verifier. It is also assumed that you already followed the Quick Start tutorial and that the Merchant ID is currently set up as the 10011 Test Account. As a result, you should see the Log-On screen below.

1.

Double-click on the Merchant ID text box.
The text box will be highlighted. If it does not, this means that you are not in Administrator Mode. Only Administrator Level access allows you to enter new Merchant IDs.

2.

Enter your Primary Merchant ID.
This is the MID or User ID that your received from your Merchant Provider. If you have more than one MID, please enter the one you use most often (you can always add the other ones later).

3.

Enter your Password in both the Password and Confirm Pwd text boxes.
Again, this is the (log-on) password that you received from your Merchant Provider. The password must match to your Merchant ID, otherwise you will not be able to process transactions.

4.

Click OK.
Since you have entered a new Merchant ID, PC Verifier will log into the merchant gateway and confirm your merchant information and password. It will also obtain your merchant information 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 successfully obtaining your merchant information, you will be required to activate PC Verifier. This is a one time activation that is bound to your Merchant ID. Test accounts do not require activation.

5.

Enter your Activation Key.
This Key came with your software and is valid for one workstation. After activation is complete, the main PC Verifier screen will appear with your company’s information. Keep a copy of this key in a safe place in case you need to re-install PC Verifier.

6.

Close PC Verifier.
At his stage, you have successfully entered you primary merchant ID. Additional Merchant IDs can be added the same way. In the next tutorial you will be shown how to switch between Merchant IDs during the log-on process.
