CyberCash Cash Register (Merchant Administration
Server):
Along with enabling secure on-line payments,
the CyberCash Cashregister provides all the functions and tools
necessary for managing transactions.
Features:
- Wallet Works with Multiple Platforms: the
consumer CyberCash wallet runs on Windows and Macintosh
- Supports Major Credit Cards: customers can
shop with MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover
cards issued world wide
- Available at thousands of Banks: CyberCash
currently provides service to credit card processors -
such as FDC, GPS, NOVA, Checkfree and Wells - which can
provide service to any merchant and its bank
- Strong Encryption: 1024-bit RSA and 56-bit
DES provide the strongest protection legally available.
Benefits:
- Real-Time, automatic sales 24 hours a day:
all processes are carried out from your web site without
manual intervention. Transactions occur within 15 to 20
seconds. Consumers have more payment options, so sales
are increased
- Inexpensive to integrate: because the
CyberCash Credit Card Service works with over 80% of
existing merchant banks, most merchants can continue
their established banking and order-processing
procedures.
- A Complete Solution: to those who have a
multiple order sources and need a single source for
payment processing, CyberCash offers flexibility. The
software reliably handles purchases, returns, credits,
voids and other administrative functions.
- Protects Against Fraudulent Use: Strong
encryption consumer authentication and merchant
authentication keep unauthorized individuals from
obtaining credit information.
Transaction logging and reporting:
To support balancing, reporting and other
back-office functions, the Cashregister software automatically
logs every transaction in a powerful database. All critical
payment information remains in encrypted form. An easy to use,
web based reporting feature provides password protected
visibility into this transaction level information. To zero in on
a problem a merchant can:
- Select all or single card types
(MasterCard, Visa, American Express or Discover)
- Select all or specific transactions to be
included (up to 200)
- Search the entire log or select a specific
date range
- Search for a specific dollar amount or an
amount range
Remote Management:
Because many Internet store fronts are
maintained by third parties such as Rapidsite, the CyberCash
Cashregister provides merchants with a web based remote access to
its many management features, including:
- Remote queries against transaction logs
- Merchant-initiated transaction entry
(sales, credits, voids etc.)
- End of day balancing for both terminal and
host-based systems.
The CyberCash setup process
| Please note that if you wish to use
the CyberCash walletless interface with the secure SSL
server, you will be required to obtain your own Verisign
server certificate. You will not be able to use our
server certificate with the CyberCash Walletless
interface. Please refer to the following page for
complete information on how to obtain your own Verisign server
certificate. |
According to the following URL from the CyberCash web site,
there are 6 steps required to complete the entire CyberCash
Credit Card Merchant setup. *Please note that we do not provide
CyberCoin Merchant accounts, we only offer the CyberCash Credit
Card Merchant accounts.
http://www.cybercash.com/cybercash/merchants/getstarted.html
Step One
"Financial Institutions". This step is
performed by you or the webmaster of your domain. Notify your
bank that you are interested in accepting credit cards using
CyberCash. If your bank does not set up merchant credit card
accounts for CyberCash, you can e-mail CyberCash: bank@cybercash.com
to request CyberCash to speak with your bank on your behalf. You
can also refer to the following URL of the CyberCash domain for a
list of CyberCash Partner Financial Institutions.
http://www.cybercash.com/cybercash/financial/bankfin.html
Step Two
"Credit Card Agreement". This step is
performed by you or the webmaster of your domain. You will need
to submit a "Credit Service Agreement", complete the
online registration form to register for the CyberCash credit
card service. Please refer to the following URL of the CyberCash
domain for the "Credit Service Agreement"
http://www.cybercash.com/cybercash/merchants/servlic.html
Step Three
"Download Cash Register". This step is
performed by us. We have a separate server that has the CyberCash
Cash register software installed. We will create a Merchant
Administration Server account for you on our CyberCash server:
http://cyberc.rapidsite.net:12001/
The Merchant Administration Server account is where you will
perform your various merchant tasks such as process Orders, Voids
and Returns. You can also review any Order Status as well as
enter Direct Credit Card Input for manual order taking. Please
refer to the following URL of the CyberCash domain for the
complete on-line Merchant Administration Server users guide:
cybercash.com/cybercash/merchants/docs/html/cshrg21/cashregtoc.html
Step Four
"Public Key Exchange". This step is
also performed by us. We will generate your public encryption
key. We will then contact CyberCash, who will create your private
encryption key on their servers. Please refer to the bottom of
this page for the information that you must provide us for the
creation of your encryption key.
After this step is completed, you will receive three e-mail
messages from our Technical Support. The first e-mail will
contain your user id and password for your Merchant
Administration Server account on our CyberCash server (see
step three above). The other e-mails will contain two
CyberCash Perl scripts, invoice.cgi and pay-to.cgi.
These scripts are provided by CyberCash and are to be used in the
creation of your html store front (see step five below).
Step Five
"Merchant Support Area". This step is
performed by you or the webmaster of your domain. This involves
the creation of your html store front and the integration of your
CyberCash scripts that you place into your /cgi-local directory.
You will need to use Perl scripts to communicate between the html
store front on your domain and your Merchant Administration
Server account on our CyberCash server. The integration of the
CyberCash scripts into your html store front will require
additional Perl programming. Once you have your html store front
completed, you will need to perform some "test"
transactions to make sure that everything is functioning
correctly.
Please refer to the following URL of the CyberCash domain for
additional information concerning the use of CyberCash with your
html store front and to download additional CyberCash Perl
scripts:
http://wilder.cybercash.com/
Please refer to the following URL of the CyberCash domain for
the Merchant Support Area. This is where you can find additional
information on integrating the CyberCash software into your html
store front:
http://www.cybercash.com/cybercash/merchants/support/
If you require additional assistance with the integration of
your html store front and your CyberCash scripts, please refer to
the following URL of the CyberCash domain for the Merchant
Development Partners:
http://www.cybercash.com/cybercash/mdp/list_mdp.html
As an alternative, you can use third party html store front
products that include a CyberCash interface. One such product
that we offer is Mercantec SoftCart. SoftCart includes a
CyberCash interface that can be used in place of the CyberCash
Perl scripts. This interface does not require any additional Perl
programming. For additional information, please refer to the SoftCart page:
Step Six
"Announce Yourself". This step is
performed by you or the webmaster of your domain. This involves
"going live" with your store. When your testing
procedure is complete, CyberCash will contact you via e-mail
stating that your test transactions were received correctly. You
would then send an e-mail confirmation to CyberCash with a 25
word description of your site. You will then receive a final
e-mail from CyberCash that states to switch your Merchant
Administration Server account from "Debug" mode to
"Live" mode. Please forward that e-mail to Technical
Support. Our system programmers will change that setting in your
Merchant Administration Server account configuration file.

4. AuthType:
AuthCapture (FDC does NOT support AuthCapture
for CyberCash)
- will automatically check the credit card
for authorization at the time of transaction
- will automatically process the transfer of
funds from the credit card holder at the time of
transaction
- best suited for use by a store front that
is offering non-tangible items, for example on-line
information or on-line access.
AuthOnly
- will check the credit card for
authorization during the ordering process
- will not automatically process the
transfer of funds from the credit card holder at the time
of transaction
- the orders are batched for manual
processing. All batched orders that are not manually
processed within 24 hours will become void
- best suited for use by a store front that
is offering tangible items that must be delivered. This
eliminates the need to void transactions when items are
out of stock.
