Online Payments Verisign^® Setup

Payments can be made through online payment vendors that use Verisign. These steps are implemented on the institution’s Verisign account pages, not in CAMS Enterprise. Note that it will be necessary for the institution to ensure that certain options are set up in the institution’s Verisign^® account.

To Set Up Verisign:

1. Sign into Verisign Manager and proceed to Account Info.
2. Click Payflow Link Info. The Form Configuration page displays.
3. Enter the URL in the Silent POST URL field where the VerisignCheckout.asp page will reside. (This is provided by Unit4 Education Solutions, Inc.)
4. Enter the URL in the Failed Silent Post Return URL where the VerisignFailure.asp page will reside. (This is provided by Unit4 Education Solutions, Inc.)

Warning: Both of the above fields must be correctly entered to ensure CAMS Enterprise receives notice about the success or failure of a transaction.

5. Enter the email address in the Email from Merchant Address field if an email confirmation is to be sent after a transaction.
   Additional settings can be applied as needed by the institution. See your institution’s Verisign documentation.

To set transaction types (only if using Verisign® Payflow Link):

Verisign allows other transaction companies to receive payments using the Verisign service. In order for CAMS Enterprise to process transactions correctly there must be two static Online Payment Parameters, Partner and Type.

The Partner parameter is the partner name used by your vendor.

The Typeparameter is used to specify the transaction type. S would be the normal setting for transactions.

VeriSign supports the following transaction types:

• Sale (S) An approved sale transaction bills the purchaser’s credit card immediately. Upon getting an authorization, the transaction is scheduled immediately for settlement.
• Credit (C) A credit transaction transfers funds from the merchant's account back to a customer's credit card.
• Authorization (A) An Authorization transaction authorizes funds and places a “hold to buy” on a customer’s credit card account. This holds the funds for you to capture at a later time (using Delayed Capture).
• Delayed Capture (D) Delayed capture transaction uses the information from an Authorization transaction to bill a customer's credit card.
• Void (V) A Void transaction voids a sale or delayed capture transaction so that it will not settle. If you void a delayed capture, you also void the corresponding authorization.
• Voice Authorization (F) A voice authorization transaction is a transaction that is approved off-line by telephoning the cardholder’s bank. Some transactions cannot be authorized over the Internet (for example, high dollar amounts). If the transaction is approved, the bank provides you with a Voice Authorization number (Authorization Code or AUTHCODE). Once a Voice Authorization transaction has been approved, it is treated like a sale or a delayed capture transaction.
