Fastbase

FastBase can be configured so that credit card details are recorded during voucher entry and then electronically submitted to the bank for processing automatically.

This is currently handled by Westpac, MDI Merchant Direct Input processing.

The company needs to contact Westpac directly and complete an MDI agreement form.
Once completed these details need to be loaded into the fastbase, see Setup.dat - Other Settings for details, you will need to specify the following details:

set setup(taxi_mdi_short_name) "C:/TEMP/WCT"

set setup(taxi_mdi_security_no) ""

set setup(taxi_mdi_merchant_id) ""

set setup(taxi_mdi_retailer_name) ""

set setup(taxi_mdi_description) "Taxi Fare"

The account that is to be used for credit card processing needs to be configured as type "CARDV". This type will need to be loaded into the Utilities - Types menu.

When entering vouchers for this account the computer will now accept entry of Visa, Mastercard and Bankcard vouchers. The credit card number will be validated.

When invoices are generated the system will automatically create a file for sending to the bank. This file needs to be encrypted via PGP, contact the bank for further instruction.
