Date Updated: 6/2/2023

An update to the CardPointe Gateway was released to the UAT environment on 6/2/2023, and is tentatively scheduled for release to the Production environment on 6/10/2023.

This update includes backend enhancements.

Date Updated: 5/6/2023

An update to the CardPointe Gateway was released to the UAT environment on 4/28/2023 and to the Production environment on 5/6/2023.

This release includes the following update, in addition to internal fixes and enhancements:

voidByOrderId Now Ignores Declined Transactions

The voidByOrderId request now ignores declined transactions.

Previously, when a transaction declined, and a merchant reused the order ID to retry and successfully complete the transaction, then a subsequent voidByOrderID request would attempt to void the first, declined, transaction causing the void to fail.

CardPointe Gateway API Changelog

RESTful Implementation

The CardPointe Gateway API uses RESTful web services to implement create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) functions.

GET operations are used for inquiry requests (for example, the Inquire and Settlement Status services).
PUT and POST operations are used to make create or update requests (for example the Authorization and Void services).
DELETE operations are supported for the Profile service, to delete a stored profile.
The REST Service expects all properties encoded as US ASCII Strings.

This web service uses the JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) method of encoding data for transmission via the HTTP network protocol. Most programming languages have libraries to convert an arbitrary object to and from a JSON data transfer encoding.

All request parameters are case-sensitive, as documented in the API.

The CardPointe Gateway API returns all response data in JSON. Updates to the API are backwards compatible, and we reserve the right to add new properties (key/value pairs) within the JSON response.

It is a best practice to develop client applications that dynamically accept and parse all JSON response properties, rather than coding for the static position of specific properties within the response data.

Developer Resources

The following resources are available to simplify your integration.

Developer Guides

Our Developer Guides provide additional information for integrating the CardPointe Gateway and related products and services.

You can browse the whole library at the Developer Guides home page, or jump right to the CardPointe Gateway Developer Guides to make the most of your CardPointe Gateway API integration.

Sample Postman Collection

To help you get started with your integration, we created a sample Postman Collection that includes a template of the CardPointe Gateway API service endpoints.

The CardPointe Gateway API Integration collection also includes a sample Environment to help you get familiar with the API.

Click the Run in Postman button to download the CardPointe Gateway API Integration collection:

See Running the API in Postman in the CardPointe Gateway Developer Guides for more information on using the Postman collection.

Connecting to the Server

Your application communicates with the CardPointe Gateway RESTful web service using the following URL:

https://<site>.cardconnect.com/cardconnect/rest/<endpoint>

A username and password are required in the HTTP Authorization Header property in each API request using the API credentials provided for your merchant account.

Basic Authorization is expected, using a Base64-encoded username and password string as the value. If this value is incorrect or not provided in the request header, an HTTP Exception "401:Unauthorized" is returned to the caller.

See the API Connectivity Guide for more information on connecting to the CardPointe Gateway and other CardPointe services.

Testing Your API Credentials

To test and validate your API credentials, you can make a PUT request, including the merchant ID in the body of the request, to the base URL. The Gateway verifies that the MID matches the credentials provided in the header.

For example:

PUT /cardconnect/rest/ Host: <site>Authorization: Basic <base64 encoded mid-level credentials>Content-Type: application/json{"merchid": "496082673888"}

If the credentials are valid, the response returns the message "CardConnect REST Servlet."

Inquire Merchant

A GET request to the inquireMerchant endpoint returns information on the merchant account configuration. This can be helpful for partners who need to validate their CardPointe merchant IDs or for businesses with merchants operating in multiple locations, to ensure that the merchant ID is boarded to the correct site.

Authorization

Authorization is the initial step in accepting payment from a cardholder. This action "authorizes" or requests permission from the bank to transfer money from the cardholder to the merchant.

The authorization service supports a PUT or POST request that includes a JSON encoded list of fields defined for the service. The service responds with either an HTTP Exception, if there are errors, or a JSON-encoded response, if the request was successful.

Within the response, the status of the transaction is described in the respstat value:

A - Approved
B - Retry
C - Declined

Authorization and Capture

Capture may take place during the authorization (see capture field in the request) or after the initial authorization is submitted.

If the capture request is delayed, note that authorizations usually expire after seven (7) days. Pending authorizations display as holds or pending transactions on a cardholder's account until they expire or are captured.

If the request is successful, the transaction and associated line items are automatically captured for settlement.

All fields defined for the Capture Service endpoint, including Level 2 and Level 3 transaction details, may be sent in the authorization request; however, they are only processed if "capture" : "y" in the request.

Additional Optional Fields

User Fields

You can include additional data in the authorization request for future retrieval by using optional userfields. The value of the userfields object is a series of name-value pairs that are meaningful to the merchant.

You can use an array or an object.

The name and value fields can include any string value, and you can include as many fields as necessary; however, the total length of user defined fields, URL/JSON encoded, is limited to 4000 bytes, where 1 character is equal to 1 byte.

If you use the CardPointe web application for transaction reporting, you must ensure that you pass your custom fields in an array, in the order that they are configured in the CardPointe application to ensure that the fields are populated correctly in the Transactions table. If there is no value for a field, you must include the field with an empty value (for example, "udf1":"") to preserve the expected order of the fields. If you pass the fields in an object, the order will not be preserved.

Field	Size	Type	Comments
name	Any	AN	The name of the field
value	Any	AN	The value of the field

Example User Fields

//object
 "userfields":
    {
        "udf0": "value0",
        "udf1": "value1",
        "udf2": "value2"
    }

//array
"userfields":

        {"custommerchant": "ABC Company"},
        {"customphone": "888-555-4357"}
    ]

Custom Descriptor Fields

You can provide custom identifying information about a merchant (for example, business name or phone number) or a custom product name in an authorization request, which appears on buyers’ credit/debit card statements.

See your sales person for feature availability and merchant configuration. Once configured add UserField entries for each piece of custom data to be replaced.

Field	Size	Type	Comments
custommerchant	12	AN	Merchant name field
customproduct	12	AN	Product name field

Profiles

The CardPointe Gateway has the ability to store information about the account holder, called a profile. Setting the optional field profile to Y in the first authorization or account verification request creates a new profile using the information in the request.

The profile feature requires that the account number be converted to a token. Subsequent authorization requests access the stored profile by setting the profile property to the profileid value which is returned in the original authorization or profile create request. The fields stored in the profile are marked by the # in the Authorization Request fields table.

Response Codes

The status of the authorization is indicated by the response status (respstat) value in the authorization response.

respstat	Meaning
A	Approved
B	Retry
C	Declined

Additional processor response information is returned in the respcode and respproc fields. See Gateway Response Codes for detailed information.

Capture

The capture service queues the transaction amount for settlement. Capture can occur within the authorization request or subsequently.

If the amount to be captured is more than the authorized amount (such as a tip adjustment), ensure that the merchant is appropriately entitled with this capability.

The service responds with either a JSON-encoded response or an HTTP error code.

receipt	Receipt Data	-	An object that includes additional fields to be printed on a receipt. Refer to Receipt Data for a list of possible fields returned. See Printing Receipts Using Authorization Data for detailed information on customizing the receipt data fields and printing receipts.

Capture Level 2 Data

If available, the Level 2 fields can be provided in the capture request and should be provided for corporate or purchase cards to qualify for improved interchange rates.

Field	Size	Type	Comments
ponumber	36	AN	Customer purchase order number
taxamnt	12	N	Tax amount for the order, either decimal or in currency minor units (for example, USD Pennies or MXN Centavos). If `taxexempt` is Y, `taxamnt` must be zero or omitted. If `taxexempt` is N, `taxamnt` must be a positive, non-zero value.

Many Level 2 protocols refer to a "Customer Code," which is described as "an identifier the customer would recognize." The CardPointe Gateway populates this field with the ponumber. If the ponumber is not provided, then the orderid from the authorization request is used. If neither the ponumber or the orderid is available, the Retrieval Reference Number (retref) is used.

The Level 2 protocol also requires certain merchant information, such as Postal Code and Tax Identification Number. These fields are filled from the configuration table created during the merchant boarding process.

Line Item Records

Field	Size	Type	Comments
lineno	4	N	Optional line number for each item. Line numbers do not need to be specified sequentially; however, if no `lineno` value is included, items are assigned sequential line numbers.
material	12	AN	Optional material code (also referred to as a Commodity Code) for each item.
description	26	AN	An item description, required.
upc	14	N	Optional UPC code for each item. If `upc` is included, the value must not be all zeros. Some processors limit this value to 12 characters.
quantity	12	N	Quantity of the item purchased. Can be a whole amount or amount with up to three decimal places.
uom	8	AN	Unit of measure (for example, "each" or "ton"). Some processors limit this value to 4 characters.
unitcost	12	N	Optional item cost, excluding tax as a decimal amount or in currency minor units (for example, USD Pennies or MXN Centavos formatted as 1.23 or 123 for $1.23). The `unitcost` should not be greater than the `amount` for the order. When omitted, this value is calculated as `netamnt`/`quantity`.
netamnt	12	N	Net total of `unitcost` x `quantity`, excluding tax and discount, as a decimal amount or in currency minor units. `netamnt` is always a positive value, even for refunds. Zero amounts are allowed for no-charge items, such as a manual, that are included in the order.
taxamnt	12	N	Tax amount for each item, as a decimal amount or in currency minor units. The sum total of `taxamnt` for all items equals the total tax amount for the order. The total of `netamnt` + `taxamnt` - `discamnt` equals the order amount. If `taxexempt` is Y, `taxamnt` must be zero or omitted. If `taxexempt` is N, `taxamnt` must be a positive, non-zero value.
taxexempt	1	AN	Indicates whether or not the order is tax exempt. `taxexempt` should be Y if: The payment card BIN type is GSA (government). Note: All GSA orders are set to taxexempt regardless of this setting. The merchant is a government agency. In this case, you must include `taxexempt` = Y in the request for each order. `taxexempt` defaults to N.
discamnt	12	N	Optional discount amount for each item, as a decimal amount or in currency minor units.

Void

The void service cancels a transaction that is in either "Authorized" or "Queued for Capture" status.

Partial voids are not supported for debit transactions. If you specify a partial void amount for a debit transaction, the entire amount is voided. Omit the amount or specify the full amount for a debit void.

You can retrieve the status of a transaction using the inquire or inquireByOrderid endpoint.

The response includes a voidable field, which indicates whether or not the transaction can be voided.

The setlstatfield in determines the amount that can be voided, where:

"setlstat" : "Authorized"
This status indicates the transaction has been authorized but not queued for capture. The entire amount or a partial amount can be voided.
"setlstat" : "Queued for Capture"
Only the entire amount can be voided.

Refund

The refund service is used for transactions that are in a settled status.

You can refund a specific transaction using the retrieval reference number (retref) provided in the authorization response.

You can retrieve the status of a transaction using the inquire or inquireByOrderid endpoint.

The response includes a refundable field, which indicates whether or not the transaction can be refunded.

The specific transaction status is recorded in the setlstat field.

Some banks impose maximum time limits (for example, 6 months) to perform a refund using a retref.

If you do not have a retref for the transaction, you can return funds to an account by passing a negative amount (forced credit) in an authorization and subsequent capture request.

Note: If you include an order ID it must meet the following requirements: The order ID must be a unique value. Using duplicate order IDs can lead to the wrong transaction being voided in the event of a timeout. The order ID must not include any portion of a payment account number (PAN), and no portion of the order ID should be mistaken for a PAN. If the order ID passes the Luhn check performed by the CardPointe Gateway, the value will be masked in the database, and attempts to use the order ID in an inquire, void, or refund request will fail.

Inquire By Order ID

Similarly to the inquire endpoint, requests to the inquireByOrderid endpoint return information for an authorization; however, inquireByOrderid references the Order ID associated with the transaction instead of the retrieval reference number (retref).

This allows you to get information about a transaction if the original authorization was interrupted and no response was returned, including the retref (if one was generated).

It is strongly recommended that you use a unique order ID for every transaction, if you are using order IDs. Doing so allows you to more easily and accurately retrieve data on all transactions.

Void By Order ID

The voidByOrderId endpoint is used to look up and void a transaction record using the order ID supplied in the original authorization request. If the order ID supplied in a voidByOrderId request matches a transaction record for the specified merchant, the authorization is voided and a response is returned.

voidByOrderId can be used in the event that no response is returned by an inquireByOrderId request, when you are unsure of a transaction's status. It's recommended to call voidByOrderId three times (3x) if no response was returned by either an inquireByOrderid request or the initial auth request.

It is strongly recommended that you use a unique order ID for every transaction, if you are using order IDs. Doing so allows you to more easily and accurately retrieve data on all transactions.

Settlement Status

For the settlement status of an individual transaction that has not been settled, use the inquire service.

The settlement status service returns the status of transactions which have been submitted to the processor for settlement. The transaction’s setlstatus is updated appropriately when the CardPointe Gateway receives a response from the processor. You can either specify a batchid to return a specific batch of transactions, or use a date to return all transactions settled for that date.

"Null Batches" is returned when no data is available for display. When passing the merchid as the only parameter, only batches not previously requested are shown. If the merchid has previously been queried for batches, responses will contain only batches not previously returned.

Settlement Service URL

Method	GET
URL	https://<site>.cardconnect.com/cardconnect/rest/settlestat?
Parameters	merchid=<merchid>&date=<MMDD> Queries all settled transactions by date. merchid=<merchid>&batchid=<batchid> Queries all settled transactions by batch ID.

Settlement Status Response Values

The settlement status changes throughout the transaction lifecycle, from authorization to settlement. The setlstat field returns the current settlement status, and is included in the following response objects:

capture - The setlstat field in the capture response indicates the transaction's status post-authorization, but prior to settlement.
inquire/inquireByOrderid - The setlstat field in the inquire responses indicates the transaction's status throughout the entire transaction lifecycle; therefore the inquire response can return all possible setlstat values.
settlestat - The setlstat field in the settlestat response indicates the transaction's status once the batch has been sent for settlement. The response includes a setlstat value for each transaction in the txn array.

The following table provides detailed information on each setlstatus value, including the values can be returned in the response:

The setlstat value format varies depending on the response type:

The capture and inquire/inquireByOrderid responses displays the verbose setlstat status, listed in the Status column in the following table (for example, "setlstat":"Queued for Capture").
The settlestat response displays the abbreviated setlstat label, listed in the Label column in the following table (for example, "setlstat":"N").

Funding

Funding data is only available for merchants with the funding service configured and enabled in the production environment.

The funding endpoint provides merchant funding information and supplemental transaction and funding adjustment details. This information is provided by the host payment processing platform (for example, First Data Omaha).

Profile

A profile can consist of multiple sets of profile account data. Each set is assigned an account ID, which can be used in conjunction with the profile ID to access a specific account. The format is <profile ID>/<account ID> for use in each request’s profile field. One account in each profile will be marked as the default account and will be referenced when no account ID is supplied.

In addition to the profile create and use features of the authorization service, the Profile services provides an independent method to create, update/replace, retrieve and delete a profile.

A create or update request is made including the fields below (the same fields marked with asterisk in the authorization request). The service tokenizes the account property and creates the profile with a token and profile ID and optional account ID. One account ID in each profile can be marked as the default account. The default account will be used for all authorization requests when only the profile ID is supplied. If an account ID is present the service retrieves the existing profile and updates it, or returns profile not found.

A profile can be associated with a maximum of 998 payment records (active/inactive).

Profile Service URLs

The profile service provides three methods.

Method	URL	Headers
PUT or POST (Create/Update)	https://<site>.cardconnect.com/cardconnect/rest/profile See the Create/Update Profile Request for more information.	Content-Type: application/json Authorization: Basic
GET	https://<site>.cardconnect.com/cardconnect/rest/profile/<profile ID>/<account ID>/<merchid> If the account ID is omitted, then all accounts in the profile are returned. See the Get Profile Request for more information.	Authorization:Basic
DELETE	https://<site>.cardconnect.com/cardconnect/rest/profile/<profile ID>/<account ID>/<merchid> If the account ID is omitted, then all accounts in the profile are deleted. If a profile or an account within a profile is associated with a CardPointe Billing Plan, then deleting the account or profile also cancels and deletes the billing plan. See the Delete Profile Request for more information.	Content-Type: application/json Authorization: Basic

Create/Update Profile Request

Example Profile Create/Update Request

{
  "region": "AK",
  "phone": "7778789999",
  "accttype": "VISA",
  "postal": "19090",
  "expiry": "0214",
  "city": "ANYTOWN",
  "country": "US",
  "address": "123 MAIN STREET",
  "merchid": "496400000840",
  "name": "TOM JONES",
  "account": "4444333322221111"
}

A PUT or POST call to the profile endpoint creates a new profile or adds a new account to an existing profile.

The service tokenizes the account property and creates the profile with a token and profile ID and optional account ID. If the profile includes multiple accounts, one account ID in the profile can be marked as the default account by setting the defaultacct parameter to "Y." The default account will be used for all authorization requests when only the profile ID is supplied.

In addition to creating a new profile, you can use this service to do the following:

To update a profile, include an existing profile ID in the request. The service retrieves the existing profile and updates it with the values in the request.
To update an account, include an existing profile ID and account ID pair in the request. The service retrieves the existing account data and updates it with the values in the request.
To add an account to an existing profile, include an existing profile ID and the new payment account data in the request. The service retrieves the existing profile and adds a new acctid containing the values in the request.

Create/Update Profile Request URL

https://<site>.cardconnect.com/cardconnect/rest/profile/

If you attempt to create a new profile that exactly matches an existing profile, the new profile will not be created; instead the response includes the profileid and acctid for the existing profile.

The following fields are checked for matches, and if all of the following fields match an existing profile, the new profile is not created:

merchid
token
accttype
expiry
name
address
city
state
country
postal
phone
email
auoptout

If the request includes "defaultacct":"Y", the CardPointe Gateway will update the existing profile to set it as the default, and will return the existing profileid and acctid info in the response.

You can submit a $0 authorization, including CVV and AVS verification, to validate the customer's information before creating a profile.

Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are copied from the Authorization request.

Fields in bold are required.

BIN

The BIN service allows you to use a CardSecure token to determine what type of payment card is being used. The first six (6) digits of a credit card are known as the Bank Identifier Number (BIN), also known as an Issuer Identification Number (IIN).

The BIN service supports the Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover, Diners, and JCB card brands.

Visa and Mastercard return all parameters described in the BIN response. For other card brands, only the country, product, and bin parameters are relevant.
