4 2 Processing Mail Order/Telephone Order Transactions Thank you for choosing Elavon Merchant Services. This guide focuses on the Elavon Payment Gateway tools that help to facilitate merchants processing Card Not Present (CNP) transactions where card details are provided over the telephone, by mail order or by fax order. Card authorisation results are provided in real-time, and settlement of authorised transactions is facilitated automatically, or at a time of your choice up to 28 days after transaction authorisation. Transactions can be processed using the Online Terminal in Elavon Payment Gateway Reporting, or if required, multiple Elavon Payment Gateway Virtual Terminal user accounts can be configured to allow your agents access to the payment processing facility without providing access to the reconciliation and reporting tools available in Elavon Payment Gateway Reporting. Elavon Payment Gateway provides two tools for taking card payments from customers in a mail order/telephone order environment. 2.1 Online Terminal The Online Terminal, which is accessed via Elavon Payment Gateway Reporting ( is best suited for use by sole-traders or small business entities. The Online Terminal can be used to take payments from the card provided by your customer over the telephone or by mail order. The transaction result, whether it has been authorised or declined, will be displayed in real-time. It is also possible to void and refund transactions processed through the Online Terminal via Elavon Payment Gateway Reporting. More information on using the Online Terminal can be found in the Elavon Payment Gateway Reporting User Guide, which is available to download at Access to the Online Terminal does not require any specific configuration within your systems. It is important to note that if you provide access to the Online Terminal to any agent who is taking payments on your behalf, they will also have access to the full suite of reconciliation and reporting tools available in the Reporting. If you do not want to provide this level of access to agents working on your behalf you can request that an Elavon Payment Gateway Virtual Terminal ( account be configured for their use. Page 4

5 2.2 The Elavon Payment Gateway Virtual Terminal Elavon Payment Gateway Virtual Terminal is a standalone application through which your agents may take card payments from your customers, without providing access to the additional information or reconciliation and reporting tools available in Reporting. The Elavon Payment Gateway Virtual Terminal is designed for call centre like environments where multiple users are taking card payments on your behalf. To configure Elavon Payment Gateway Virtual Terminal users, please contact support@ elavonpaymentgateway.com or a member of the Elavon Payment Gateway Support Team, who will be able to advise on the information required to do so. Please allow 24 hours Monday Friday for the creation of Elavon Payment Gateway Virtual Terminal users. Please note that it is possible for individual Elavon Payment Gateway Virtual Terminal users to be assigned with their own individual configurations, for example, a user may be configured to process transactions in a specific currency or through a specific sub-account only. It is also possible to provide a point of sale receipt for transactions processed through the Elavon Payment Gateway Virtual Terminal. The receipt may be customised, dependant on your requirements. Development work will be required to implement Receipt Printing please contact support@ elavonpaymentgateway.com or a member of the Elavon Payment Gateway Support Team for more information on the timelines involved. It is recommended that this service only be implemented where a receipt is required for every transaction in other instances, receipt printing via Elavon Payment Gateway Reporting should suffice. More information on the Elavon Payment Gateway Virtual Terminal can be found in the Elavon Payment Gateway Virtual Terminal User Guide available for download at elavonpaymentgateway.com Note: This document only covers payments processed through Elavon Payment Gateway Reporting and the Elavon Payment Gateway Virtual Terminal. If you intend to integrate your Elavon Payment Gateway account into your own systems to facilitate mail order/telephone order payments, please refer to the Elavon Payment Gateway Integration Guide Remote Integration, which is available for download at Page 5

6 3 Testing Required to Go Live You will be set up initially with a Test Account. One of the requirements before activating your account to allow you to process live transactions is that adequate testing is completed for each card type you intend to process. We strongly recommend that you test the system to allow you (and any agents who may be taking payments on your behalf) the opportunity to familiarise yourself with the system. Exhaustive testing of your account will minimise issues in the live environment which may affect your customers. You can request test card numbers by ing support@elavonpaymentgateway.com or a member of the Elavon Payment Gateway Support Team. The test card numbers provided allow you to test each card type that you may take through the system. 3.1 Testing Different Transaction Results There are a number of possible responses to a card authorisation request and these are outlined below. The test card numbers provided will simulate each of the possible responses. It is recommended that you test each response for each card type you intend to accept before you go live. This will ensure that you (and any agents who may process payments on your behalf) are familiar with all possible responses. 00: Transaction Authorised Successfully. Transactions that return a result of 00 have been authorised by the card issuer and will be funded to you once the transaction has been settled. 101: Transaction Declined. Transactions that return a result of 101 have been declined by the card issuer, while the most common cause of a declined transaction would be where insufficient funds exist to cover the cost of the transaction, other reasons may apply. The card issuer cannot divulge the reason for a declined transaction to anyone other than the cardholder themselves. No funds will be received for declined transactions. 102: Transaction Declined Pending Offline Authorisation. The transaction in question has been declined by the card issuer but you are given the opportunity to complete the transaction by contacting Elavon Payment Gateway authorisation centre to get an authorisation code, the manually entered via Elavon Payment Gateway Reporting to complete the transaction. No funds will be received unless this step is completed. 103: Card Reported Lost or Stolen. Page 6

7 The transaction in question has been declined because the card number provided has been reported to the card issuer as lost or stolen. No funds will be received for the transaction. 200/205: Bank Communication Error. Elavon Payment Gateway has been unable to connect to the card issuer to carry out the authorisation. This is not a reflection of the customer s credit status the transaction may be tried later and may succeed. No funds will be received for a transaction which returns 200 or 205 results code. Page 7

9 5 Other Services Elavon Payment Gateway also provides additional services described below, which may be provided as part of your set up. These services may require additional configuration, and as such, appropriate timelines should be allowed for implementation. 5.1 Elavon Payment Gateway RiskManager Elavon Payment Gateway RiskManager is a proprietary Transaction Suitability Scoring (TSS) system. A Transaction Suitability Score is assigned to a transaction based on rules configured within the system, highlighting potentially suspicious transactions which can be flagged for review. Elavon Payment Gateway RiskManager can also be implemented with automatic transaction checking, where transactions which break certain predefined rules or which return a low score can be automatically declined. Elavon Payment Gateway RiskManager is configurable; a default set of rules will be applied to all accounts. Please contact support@elavonpaymentgateway.com or a member of the Elavon Payment Gateway Support Team for more information. Any changes to the default rules will need to be approved by Elavon Merchant Services before being implemented. 5.2 Elavon Payment Gateway SecureDataVault Elavon Payment Gateway provides a card storage system called Elavon Payment Gateway SecureDataVault which can be used to securely store card details. This service operates on a Level 1 PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) compliant system, this mean that the system complies with the recognised industry security standard for the handling of cardholder data. Once the card numbers have been added to Elavon Payment Gateway SecureDataVault, you can no longer view any of the sensitive card details; however, by using tokens, you can raise payments against the stored card details at a later date. For further information please speak to a member of the Elavon Payment Gateway Support Team. Page 9
