• Bypass Flag Excessive Deposit

  This indicates whether (Y) or not (N) participation in the Excessive Deposits Program is bypassed for the merchant. The selection also controls access to the Excessive Deposit Threshold Amount field for the merchant. Possible values:

  • Y: Indicates that participation in the Excessive Deposits Program is bypassed for the merchant, in which case, the Excessive Deposit Amount Threshold settings for the merchant will not be maintainable.
  • N (default): Indicates that the merchant is participating in the Excessive Deposits Program, in which case, the Excessive Deposit Amount Threshold settings for the merchant will be maintainable, but must be at least a value of 0.00.

  • Amount of Credits in a Batch

    The maximum dollar amount of credits allowed in a batch. This must be a valid amount between 0 and 999999999.99.

  • Number of Credits in a Batch

    The maximum number of credit transactions allowed in a batch. This must be a valid value between 0 and 999999999.

• Excessive Tran Amount Thresholds

  These fields enable you to set excessive transaction amount threshold values for the merchant that will override any set at the bank level:

  • Sale Amount

    The maximum sale amount allowed per transaction. This must be a valid amount between 0 and 999999999.99.

  • Credit Amount

    The maximum amount allowed per credit transaction. This must be a valid amount between 0 and 999999999.99.

• Excessive Deposit Amount Threshold

  This field allows you to set a threshold amount for excessive deposits for the merchant. If the dollar amount of the entire batch is over the specified threshold, the entire batch will be rejected.

  Valid values are between 0.00 (the default) and 999999999.99 (999,999,999.99).

  The field may be left blank, unless the Bypass Flag Excessive Debit for the merchant is not selected (N), in which case the value must be 0.00 or greater.

• Daily Auth Count

  The maximum number of authorization requests per terminal (V number) allowed in a rolling 24-hour period. This field accepts a maximum value of 999999.

  The Daily Auth Count value set at the merchant level is applied by default to any subsequent terminal record created for the merchant, although you can then edit the terminal level value. If a Daily Auth Count value exists at the terminal level, that value is used to set the maximum daily auth count, otherwise the merchant level value is used.

  Whether set at the merchant or the terminal level, the Daily Auth Count value indicates each individual terminal's maximum daily auth count, and not the total auth count allowed for all the merchant's terminals.

  Note: When you set or update a Daily Auth Count for a merchant on the Merchant Account page, that value will populate the Daily Auth Count on the Terminal Setup page for each subsequent terminal you set up for the merchant, but it will not update the Daily Auth Count for any existing terminals for the merchant. If you update the Daily Auth Count for a terminal, it will not update the Daily Auth Count on the Merchant Account page.

  • 2: Credit > Sale

  • 5: Option 1 & 2
  • 6: Option 1,2,3,& 4

  • Y (check box selected): Force post edits must be bypassed for this merchant’s transactions.
  • N (check box cleared): Force post edits must apply to this merchant’s transactions (this is the default).
• Force Post Threshold Amount

  This field must contain a valid value between 0.00 and 999999999.99. The value determines the transaction amount equal to and above which offline-approved force post transactions will be rejected.

  Note: This field cannot contain a negative value.
