Credit Card setting

Explanation

Credit Card - Auto Process

To accept credit card payments through WebReserv, select Credit Card and Auto Process in the Payment Processing section.

Accepted Credit Cards

Select the credit cards that you will accept as forms of payment from your customers.

Security Code

This setting determines if the credit card security code is required when a credit card number is entered.

 

The options are:

 

Not Used

Optional

Required for customers only

Required for customers and office (default).

 

Default is Required for customers and office, meaning that the security code is required for all reservations, regardless of whether the reservation is made by the customer or in the administration system.

 

For maximum fraud protection we recommend that security code always is required.

Hide credit card details in Frontdesk

Indicates whether credit card details are "hidden" by only showing the last 4 digits.

 

The options are:

Auto - credit card details will be hidden whenever credit card auto processing is enabled.

Yes - Credit card details are always hidden.

No - Credit card details are not hidden and can be seen when a reservation is viewed in the Frontdesk.

 

For maximum security, we recommend that credit card details are hidden. This is to reduce the risk that credit card details can be viewed and misused.

Do not ask for payment details if payment balance is zero

If this is set to Yes, then if a payment balance on a reservation is zero due to a discount code or gift card is used, then this setting will not ask for the credit card details from the customer.

Payment Gateway

To connect your First Data Global Gateway ECommerce API account in WebReserv, you will need send us two pieces of information:

 

The Store ID.  This is usually a 7-10 digit number, such as 1001123456

         1. Log into your First Data Global Gateway Virtual Terminal.

         2. Click Support - Download Center in the top menu.

         3. Click Store Cert Files - Download Now.

         4. Enter your Tax ID and click the API download button.

         5. Save the certificate locally and email it to support@webreserv.com.

 

Note: API Certificate is usually named similar to the store ID and always has a PEM extension, example: 1001123456.pem .

 

After we receive this information, our team will add it to the system and send you an email when the setup has been complete.

 

Once you receive the email, you will log into your WebReserv account and test the set up to ensure your payments are being processed properly.  See the next section, Testing your payment processing, to learn how to test the set up.
