Adding the Valutec processor
When adding a processor that uses a UPI plugin, you select 'Independent' as the processor type, and then select the type of UPI plugin from the 'Plugin type' drop-down list. The unique configuration data that tells the host what it needs to process transactions from your site resides in a file called ValutecAlohaUPI.cfg. Once you save the processor record, the system creates the configuration file for you and looks to this file for the unique terminal ID and client key.
Note: A version per site is required. You must update the Terminal ID and ClientKey obtained from your Valutec representative for each site. You must also establish a unique terminal ID and client key that identify the site submitting the transaction for processing. We strongly recommend you create a Valutec folder in C:\EdcProcPath for the TXN files.
To add Valutec as an 'Independent' processor:
- Select Maintenance > Electronic Draft Capture > Processor.
- Click the New drop-down arrow, select Independent as the type from the 'Select Owner' list box, and click OK.
- Type a name, such as 'Valutec,' for the processor.
- Leave the default value of '1' in 'Index' unless you have multiple processors of the 'Independent' type, each requiring a unique merchant ID, in which case you increment the index by one (1) for each instance.
- Under the 'Independent' group bar, select Valutec from the 'Plugin type' drop-down list.
- Type ValutecAlohaUPI.cfg in 'The file name to be exported including the extension.'
- Click the drop-down arrow for 'Contents of this file,' type the following string substituting the values in TerminalID and ClientKey with the values provided to you by Valutec, and click OK.
- Click Save and exit the Processor function.
