Tutorial - Keyed Entry for Credit Cards

This tutorial explains how to perform keyed-entry of credit card sales. Depending on your gateway you may or may not be required to use the Address Verification System (AVS). This tutorial assumes that AVS is required. For more information about AVS, contact your Merchant Provider.

1.

Start PC Verifier.

2.

Enter your User password.
Credit card sales work with any security level access.

3.

Click on Cards.
This will display the Credit Card Sales screen and highlight the Name field.

4.

Enter John Doe and press ENTER.
It is assumed that the Use ENTER to switch fields option is checked. Pressing the ENTER key will then set focus to the Address Field.

5.

Enter the following additional information:
Address: 123 Main Street
City: Visa Village
State: CA
Zip: 92805
Tel: 909-555-1212
Ref:

TEST-ONE

6.

Enter Card # 4111111111111111 (one 4 followed by 15 ones).
This is a test card number. When entered, the Visa Card icon will become enhanced and a Green Checkmark will appear next to the card number. The checkmark indicates that the card number is a valid number (but still requires verification of funds through the merchant gateway).
Card numbers are also automatically formatted according to the card type.

7.

Enter 307 in the Exp field.
PC Verifier will automatically detect your input and use intellisense to enter the correct expiration date format. In this case 03/07 for March 2007.

8.

Enter 123 in the CCV2 field.
Entry for this data is dependent on your Merchant provider.
CVV2 (Card Verification Value), CVC2 (Card Validation Code) and CID (Card Identification #) codes are a new authentication scheme established by credit card companies to further efforts towards reducing fraud for internet transactions. It consists of requiring a card holder to enter the CVV2, CVC2 or CID codes in at transaction time to verify that the card was physically available during keyed entry.
Visa, MasterCard, and Diners Club cards have CVV2 and CVC2 security codes that are 3 digits in length, are located on the back of the card, and are the last 3 digits displayed with the (partial) card number.

American Express credit cards have a CID security code that is 4 digits in length, and is located on the front of the card in different areas. If an AMEX account number does not have a plastic card associated with it (i.e. an on-line one-time number for keyed transactions) or a temporary credit card, then the card does not have a CID number. In this case, you should enter the last 4 digits of the AMEX account number in order for the transaction to be processed.

9.

Enter 10 in the Amount $ field, and press ENTER.
The amount is automatically formatted as $10.00 and the Tip field is highlighted.

10.

Press ENTER.
This skips the Tip field and sets focus to the Process button.

11.

Press ENTER again.
This starts the credit card validation and transaction process.

12.

Follow Steps 8, 9 and 10 in the previous tutorial; Using a Credit Card Reader.
The Keyed transaction is processed and you are ready for the next sale.
