Credit Card Validation
Expandable’s Credit Card Validation interface to Paragon Payment Solutions provides secure, reliable credit card processing during the order entry process.
Through integration with Paragon Payment Solutions, as an order is placed in Expandable, the interface validates the charge, delivers an authorization code, and initiates a two-part “book and ship” transaction, reserving the credit charge until the order is shipped.
When the order is shipped, the system sends a message through the validation interface to bill the order, and the system completes the credit card transaction once funds are wired from the processing center.
MODULE FEATURES
The Credit Card Validation interface integrates Expandable with the complete credit card processing solution from Paragon Payment Solutions so you can accept and manage all payments directly through Expandable ERP.
Running “CC Verify” in the Sales Order Editor (SOEOE), AR Invoice Entry (ARTIE), AR Invoice Editor (APEIM) or AR Credit Card Settlement utility (ARUCCS) causes the following data exchange with Expandable and the Credit Card Service.
Validation Process
- Expandable collects and sends the following data to Paragon Payment Solutions:
- Credit Card number
- Card holder name
- Address
- Zip Code
- Card security number
- Expiration Date
- Charge Amount
- Sales Order ID
- In return, Paragon Payment Solutions sends back data elements to Expandable when processing Credit Card transactions:
- Transaction Result
- Transaction Response Code
- Authorization Code
- Trout ID/Trout Number
- CVV Code => processing message
- AVS Code => processing message
- Error Code => processing error message
- Expandable then encrypts and saves these data elements for later processing by the AR Credit Card Settlement utility (ARUCCS) program:
- Authorization Code
- Trout ID/Trout Number
- Card security number

The interface adds a button to the Sales Order Editor screen that, when activated,
initiates a data drop to Paragon Payment Solutions.
