Hi all,
For anyone out there who is live with Element, where does TR_PAYMENT_METHOD.merchant_id_for_swipe come into play? TR_PAYMENT_METHOD.merchant_id is the one that is entered into the config settings in TessituraPaymentGateway.exe but I don’t see the swipe id mentioned anywhere.
E.g. MasterCard merchant_id = 206, merchant_id_for_swipe = 205. Where does 205 get referenced, if anywhere?
I have confirmed with Element that our merchant accounts will be able to process both swiped and keyed transactions, so does this mean that I just update the TR_PAYMENT_METHOD.merchant_id_for_swipe column to reflect the merchant_id column? So, in the above example both end up being 206?
Thanks for any insight,
Natasha
Hi Natasha,
You should be able to use the same merchant account number in both merchant_id_for_swipe and merchant_id. As long as that number matches one of the Element merchants defined in TessituraPaymentGateway.exe.config, you should be good to go.
Thanks,David
Ah ha! Great, thanks David.
Sorry to be confusing Gloria - TR_PAYMENT_METHOD is the db table name for the Payment Method set up screen.
