Fill in the values assigned to you by CyberCash, then click the OK button. Now from the Payment screen click the Configure Payment Options button, select the cards you wish to accept, and select CyberCash as the processing method. Shopping Cart By default, ShopSite credit card processing is done off line (by the merchant). When an order is placed, ShopSite does do some credit card validation to ensure that the number given is a possible credit card number (i.e., it passes certain internal consistency checks) and reprompts the customer if the information is missing or inconsistent. If ShopSite is using CyberCash when an order is placed, the credit card information is sent to the CyberCash server, the server checks to see if the card is authorized to charge the amount indicated, and sends back information -- no actual charges are executed. If the card is authorized, ShopSite stores the transaction information (which varies with the payment processor type -- FirstUSA, First Data, VisaNet, etc.) in the orders data base under Ordering Instructions. The information is returned in two lines and is stored with the herald CyberCash Order ID: If there is an error in the transaction, ShopSite displays an error screen to the customer and invites the customer to correct the errors (if possible) or to notify the merchant. Back Office Viewing Viewing orders is unchanged except that CyberCash data is stored in the Ordering Instructions field of the orders database and is visible when viewing orders. Billing ShopSite has a new button, Bill Order. Selecting one or more credit card orders and clicking this button causes a payment request for those orders to be sent to the CyberCash server. If the request succeeds, the information returned by the server is appended to the earlier information in the Ordering Instructions field. This time the herald will be followed by the word *BILLED*. If an error occurs, it will be displayed after all selected orders to be billed have been processed. The exact information returned on an error depends in part on the error and in part on the payment processor type (FirstUSA, First Data, VisaNet, etc.). Testing Some testing is possible without having an account set up with CyberCash. From the configuration screen, click the Default button. This will set a merchant ID and password that allows testing the software and the connection with the CyberCash server. Go to your store and purchase a product using a credit card. After you see the screen receipt from ShopSite, go to the back office, Orders, select the order you just made, and click Show Order. You should see the line: CyberCash Order ID:342183747466272172 under Ordering Instructions. Click OK to return to the Orders menu. Note the test account does not allow you to use the Bill feature.
