Card on File

Introduction

Card on file facility in IP1 allows customers to make payments using a card that has been previously used. This is achieved by utilising tokens already captured from the payment gateway and stored on the system from a previous payment. The customers using this facility must be configured in control file TMSAR/PM-COF. After a new credit card information is captured by the payment gateway during Order entry, AR Cash entry or AR Collections maintenance, the system will bring up Work with Card on File program allowing you to store the card information on file. Multiple cards can be stored for a customer with usable date range and the card can be inactivated or re-activated as required.

Business rules/Other setup

The following business rules have to be setup to handle Card on File. These business rules must be setup with support from Iptor IP1 consultants. It is critical to understand the setting of control files and how it works. Control files must be setup correctly for the system to operate as intended. Any changes to the control files setup should be addressed cautiously and in consultation with Iptor IP1 consultants.
