3428.0. "Need Service for Validation of Credit Cards" by UNTADB::DIETRICH () Fri Oct 07 1994 08:24

Hello,


I currently work on a project, where DIGITAL offers service to customers,
who can pay by credit card.

What I need now is an interface to a software, which validates major credit
cards (VISA, MASTERCARD, AMEX, DINERS).

Does anybody know that such a software exists?

Is there a similar project within DIGITAL?

Can anybody give me a pointer to another Notes conference?

Any help would be appreciated!



Thank you in advance,
                     Michael.

3428.1Veriphone?TEKVAX::KOPECYou have left basic servicesFri Oct 07 1994 08:377
    I would probably start with a company called "Verifone". I think their
    HQ is in silicon valley somewhere.
    
    They're the company that makes most of thise little boxes that your
    card gets swiped through at the auto-parts store... (or wherever..)

3428.3CCard Authorisation and Funds Xfer systemTRUCKS::WOODLEY_CFri Oct 07 1994 09:2712
We have developed a Card Payment system for a large Retail customer in the UK.

In conforms to the APACS 40 standard for transaction authorisation and 
on-line funds transfer and, also maintains a central database of all transaction 
details with a flexible reporting facility.

It does not have a "Customer not Present" facility at the moment but we are 
discussing this option with another customer.

Contact Clive Woodley @SBP if this is of interest.

3428.5NPSS::BRANAMSteve, Network Product SupportFri Oct 07 1994 15:033
I would assume that in order to be effective, you would need to contract with
some sort of service bureau that maintains a worldwide credit card validation
database. Otherwise you may have the technology, but no data to validate against.
3428.6Talk to your BankSIERAS::MCCLUSKYFri Oct 07 1994 15:598
    First Data Resources in Omaha, Nebraska provides total credit card
    service from generation of cards, authorization, etc.  You can also
    contact a bank and then the networks, such as Star, Cirrus and Plus,
    but you must be sponsored by your bank.  In California there is another
    organization called Interlink, which is owned by VISA.  Finally, you
    can contact VISA and Mastercard for authorization services.
    
    
3428.7QUARK::LIONELFree advice is worth every centFri Oct 07 1994 18:254
US solutions probably won't help Michael who is in Munich, Germany.
.2 probably has the best pointer so far.

3428.8SIERAS::MCCLUSKYFri Oct 07 1994 20:019
    Suggestions on talking to your bank, Visa, Mastercard still stand.  I
    suggest you talk to Henny Olthof @uto, dtn 838.2021 who did a lot of
    work with Eurocard in Holland.  If you want software, Muscato has
    excellent s/w that runs on VAX, ERDS9000.  You could also contact
    Applied Communications Inc. in London - this is now a Tandem company
    and may not be cooperative.  Henny is your best bet and tell him I said
    "hello".
