Thread: Credit Card Types

I want to remove AMEX and Diners from the list of card types and add other types. I see where to do it, in the manage credit cards section, but do the names you enter have any bearing on the transaction? For example, If I want to add SOLO as a card type, does it simply result in the name being shown in the list or is the name used as a variable in the transaction?. If so, is there anything I need to bear in mind? I'm a UK first timer using Protx and still finding my round

According to the VSP Direct Owners Manual, CardType is passed with the request, and can be any of “VISA”, ”MC”, ”DELTA”, “SOLO”, “MAESTRO”, “UKE”, “AMEX”, “DC” or “JCB”. “SWITCH” is still accepted but you should use “MAESTRO”. MC is MasterCard, UKE is Visa Electron. AMEX and DC (DINERS) can only be accepted if you have additional merchant accounts with those acquirers.

Thanks Jon. Yeah, I saw that and wondered whether to add these but they look like "values" where when you add a card type they are just the names? There's no value associated with them. So MC would show up as a card type in the list? Sorry if i'm missing something stupid here

There is a FixCardType method that converts (fixes) from the displayed-name to the abbrevated-name that Protx expects.

Here is the list:

Discover -- DC
MasterCard -- MC
Switch/UKMaestro -- SWITCH
Delta/VisaDebit -- DELTA
VisaElectron -- UKE

The Discover translation is wrong; it's supposed to be Diner's Club. Also, there doesn't appear to be a way for you to specify your own wording without recompiling the entire class.

Aha! Jon, Thank You!

So, when I enter these into Misc > More > Credit Card Types I need to enter them exactly like this:

Discover -- DC
MasterCard -- MC
Switch/UKMaestro -- SWITCH
Delta/VisaDebit -- DELTA
VisaElectron -- UKE

Have I understood that correctly?

Cheers
Chris

No, you choose from the following options:

MasterCard or MC
Switch/UKMaestro or Maestro
Delta/VisaDebit or Delta
VisaElectron or UKE
Visa
Solo
AmEx
DC
JCB

Ok, thanks for that

Hi,

I am trying to add Visa Electron to my list of accepted cards, I have followed the advice above, but it is not showing in the checkout.

The AppConfig is set like this:

Visa:VISA,Mastercard:MCARD,Switch/Maestro:SWITCH,DeltaELTA,VisaElectron:UKE

The others all seem to work fine, it is just UKE I am struggling with.

Which AppConfig are you referring to?

Protx is taking payment fine with all card except UK Electron. I see in teh thread i'm missing something

I see in this thread:
-----------------------------
Misc > More > Credit Card Types .

MasterCard -- MC
Switch/UKMaestro -- SWITCH
Delta/VisaDebit -- DELTA
VisaElectron -- UKE
-----------------------------

Where is this? Which AppConfig is it?
I see no 'misc'

In Manage Credit Cards>> I see a list "Electon" is here? But no way to set to UKE?

Wot am I missing??

Ah... I have it.

Misc > More > Credit Card Types . Is v7. misc menu no longer around in v8.

Manual at http://manual.aspdotnetstorefront.co...t-gateway.aspx says we need UKE, whereas I have it set as dispalyed "Electon" do I need to edit to "Visa Electron UK Debit" to be sending to Protx as UKE?

I'll have to let our guys chime in on the ProtX quest.
