PrestaShop comes complete with over 310 features that have been carefully developed to assist business owners in increasing sales with virtually little effort. All features are integrated in the software and are 100% free.

Our merchants can use PrestaShop with the Fastcharge Payment Gateway’s Authorize.net Emulator.

INSTRUCTIONS:  After downloading and installing PrestaShop you need to also download the free Authorize.net payment module. Locate the AuthorizeNet Aim Payment Module files in your shopping cart and find the file named VALIDATION.PHP. Open the Valisation.php file in notepad (or any other editor) then change the ‘POST TO’ URL  FROM: https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll  TO: https://trans.secure-fastcharge.com/cgi-bin/authorize.cgi

Depending on the shopping cart version you may need to change the post to URL in 1,2 or 3 places. It’s best to find it everywhere you find it in this file.

Here’s a tip, do a search in the file for “Https:” or “.dll” to help you find the Authorize.net urls to replace with the Emulator Url.

Admin Settings:

Login to your PrestaShop Admin Panel and open the “Payment Methods” setting for Authorizenet. If it gives you a choice select the AIM module because this will allow customers to stay on your site when they purchase from you. Once you get to the settings you can enter the following information:

• API Login ID: This is your Fastcharge Account ID (FCXXX)
• Transaction Key: This is your Fastcharge “Merchant Pin”
• Mode: We always suggest “Live Mode” or “Production Mode”
• Gateway URL: If you have this option enter  https://trans.secure-fastcharge.com/cgi-bin/authorize.cgi
• MD5 Hash: We ignore this field but you can enter “7gt77lyst555r7677yt”
• Authorize or Capture: We recommend you select “Authorize and Capture”

Automatic Merchant Fraud Protection With the Fast Charge Payment Gateway

In addition to the merchant-initiated protection mechanisms described in this section, several automatic features have been incorporated into the Merchant Fraud Protection module to block out customers exhibiting suspicious buying behaviors, including:

• A feature to check City and State entries for validity against the zip code entered.
• A feature to check area codes for validity against the zip code entered.

SSL Technology

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology is the industry-standard method for protecting web communications developed by Netscape Communications Corporation.

The SSL security protocol provides data encryption, server authentication, message integrity, and optional client authentication for a TCP/IP connection. Because SSL is built into all major browsers and web servers, simply installing a digital certificate turns on their SSL capabilities.

SSL comes in two strengths, 40-bit and 128-bit, which refer to the length of the “session key” generated by every encrypted transaction. The longer the key, the more difficult it is to break the encryption code.

Most browsers support 40-bit SSL sessions, and the latest browsers, including Netscape Communicator 4.0, enable users to encrypt transactions in 128-bit sessions – trillions of times stronger than 40-bit sessions.

Free Virtual Terminal Demo            

Virtual Terminal: Turn Your Computer into a Credit Card Terminal

Your Computer Is the Card Terminal

Take an order by phone, fax, or mail. Then simply log into your www.FastCharge.com  account and enter the credit card information. It works at your office, at your home, at a tradeshow, or anywhere you have Internet access. Your Virtual Terminal verifies the CVV2 code (last three numbers on the back of the credit card) as well as the AVS (address verification system) which is the credit card billing address. This helps merchants manage and prevent fraud. The Virtual Terminal also E-Mails the Customer a Receipt Immediately Upon Approval. It also E-Mails the Merchant the Order Information at the same time.

The secure Virtual Terminal and Batch Upload features enable merchants to process credit card and/or online check transactions manually, as well as automatically from a Website Shopping Cart.

Transactions are Immediately Approved. Sales are Automatically Batched Daily.

• Virtual Terminal – Virtual Terminal provides the best solution for merchants who manually enter credit card and electronic check transactions for mail order/telephone order (MOTO) sales.
• Batch Upload – Submitting multiple transactions in a single file is an efficient way to upload credit card and electronic check transaction data from enterprise applications or other file-based systems.
• Recurring Billing – Recurring Billing Option for Online Checks and Credit Cards. Membership Dues, Subscription Fees, Monthly Hosting, and Karate Schools are just some examples of products and services that are typically billed on a recurring basis.

Virtual Terminal suits businesses of all sizes because it reduces the complexity and expense normally associated with authorizing and processing credit card transactions. It’s also much faster than standard dial-up PC systems. Our Recurring Billing Module Offers you Ease, Speed, Convienience, plus Security on a your Non-Cash Transactions.

Businesses with a FastCharge account may access the Virtual Terminal through the FastCharge Web site using any Web browser. After logging into their FastCharge account using a unique user ID and a password. Merchants can access the complete range of FastCharge services — Authorizations for purchases, credits and returns, status and activity reports, and much more.

To authorize credit card transactions, the merchant must complete an electronic form that provides the FastCharge system with the information it needs to complete the transaction. This information is encrypted using the latest Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology and is sent to a FastCharge host server. The server then sends the data through the authorization network to the appropriate card issuer’s bank using a secure, proprietary connection. When the process is complete — this usually takes around three seconds — the merchant receives an authorization number, and the FastCharge server stores the transaction. Transactions are automatically settled each day and are typically funded within two to three business days.

Merchants can also check the status of transactions and run a variety of reports right from the FastCharge Merchant Interface.

This is a Live Credit Card Processing Test System

This is a simulation of our live Credit Card Processing system and does not apply credit card charges to any credit card number you enter. Web site developers and programmers can use this live test account to program your shopping cart or to test transactions from your web site. Or, if you would like to see how the virtual processing terminal works you can use the numbers below to perform test transactions. You can also test our free recurring billing system using these test cards as well. You can also check out all of our FREE Fraud Prevention Features:

• Negative Account Blocking – Reject transactions from known fraudulent account numbers from over 65,000 merchants already using the FRISK system.
• Cramming Protection – Prevent the use of credit card or ACH number generating schemes by limiting the number of transactions allowed from a given IP address.
• Domain Blocking – Filter transactions by the Internet domain associated with the customer’s email address.
• Country Blocking – Filter transactions by the Internet domain associated with the customer’s country code.
• Prevent Duplicate Transactions – Track recent transactions to ensure the same transaction is not authorized more than once. This eliminates problems due to “double clicking” the transaction submit button as well as duplicate submittal of batch transactions.
• IP Activity Limit – Limit the number of accepted transactions from a given IP address.
• Large Transaction Notification – This feature examines the transaction amount after the transaction has been accepted. When the amount exceeds an amount specified by the merchant an e-mail is sent notifying the merchant that the amount has exceeded the threshold. The merchant can then review the transaction, refuse the sale before any products are shipped, and credit back the consumer at a later time.
• Address Verification (AVS) – AVS matches the known address information associated with the given credit card number against the billing address information provided by the user. If the information does not match, the transaction is declined. The merchant has the option of choosing the level of match required for an approved transaction.
• CVV2 – CVV2, or Card Verification Value 2, is a number that is printed, not imprinted, on Visa and Mastercard. This number is never transferred during card swipes and should only be known by the cardholder, the person holding the card in their hand.
• Reject Free Email Address – checks the e-mail address of the consumer against a database of free e-mail providers. Transactions in which the email domain of the consumer is in this database are declined. Need more information?

Fast Charge Payer Authentication

Payer Authentication (also known as 3-D Secure) is a solution created by the credit card associations to provide additional fraud protection by asking cardholders to authenticate themselves to their issuing bank at the time of purchase. A cardholder’s identity is confirmed using one of a variety of authentication methods, and merchants are provided with instant authentication results thereby greatly reducing the risk of unauthorized use.

Marketed as Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode, these programs ensure authentication of credit card holders with their issuing bank, eliminating merchant liability for the most common fraud-related charge-backs, and providing confidence to consumers that their cards cannot be used for fraudulent purchases.

Fast Charge allows merchants to integrate their choice of payer authentication applications into their shopping cart or web based application, and then process payer authenticated transactions through their existing payment gateway account to gain additional protection against chargebacks.

Advantages:

• Reduces Fraud – Merchants can verify that the person using the card is the cardholder.
• Charge-back Protection – Authenticated transactions may not be charged back if the cardholder alleges they did not make or authorize the purchase.
• Increases consumer confidence – Assures consumers that their transactions will be secure, leading to increased sales.

How does the payer authentication process work?

Consumers enroll their Visa or MasterCard credit cards in the Verified by Visa or MasterCard SecureCode programs at their issuing bank’s web site. During the enrollment, they choose a password to associate with their card. When they use that card at a merchant enabled for Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode, they are prompted by their issuing bank to ‘sign” for the purchase with their password.

Where can I find more information on payer authentication?

Additional information is available at the credit card association web sites:

• Verified By Visa
• MasterCard SecureCode

How do I get started using payer authentication?

Contact Fast Charge customer service for more information on how to activate payer authentication on your account.

Note: Payer Authentication services (Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode) are currently available to merchants that process on FDMS-Nashville or TSYS(Vital) authorizing networks. Additional fees may apply.
