Configuring the CCC

This chapter explains how to configure the CCC credit card application.

Configuring CyberSource Credit Card Processing

Use the following steps to configure the CyberSource Commerce Cartridge to authorize and process your eCommerce payments.

Configuring the Authorization Process

  1. Go to the Welcome to Intershop 4 page at the following URL:
  2. http://yourservername/isroot/index.html
  3. In your store, select Back Office.
  4. The Back Office page appears.
  5. Enter the case-sensitive log on name and password (the default for both is admin).
  6. Click Login.
  7. The Welcome to Intershop 4 Back Office page appears.
  8. Select the System Admin tab from the menu bar at the bottom of the page.
  9. The System Administration page appears.
  10. Scroll down to the Cartridge Administration Menu section. Select the CyberSource Configuration link.
  11. The CyberSource System Administration page appears.
  12. If you want to authorize the credit card and capture payment simultaneously, while the customer is at the eCommerce site, select Authorization & Capture as the Authorization Type in the Authorization Type box.
  13. If you want to authorize the credit card in one step, then capture payment later from the back office, then select Authorization Only. The default is Authorization Only.
  14. If you want to ignore the results of the address verification check performed by U.S. banks, then select Ignore AVS (address verification system). The AVS check verifies that the customer's information in the order form matches the information on file for the credit card.
  15. Selecting Ignore AVS enables the authorization transaction to proceed despite an inconsistency in the AVS check. Otherwise, transactions are declined when an AVS inconsistency results, and no authorization code is generated.
  16. Select Automatically Refund to enable CyberSource to automatically refund payment on cancelled orders. If this box is selected and payment is received, the customer directly receives credit if the order is cancelled. If the amount is authorized but not yet captured, the authorization is voided when the order is cancelled.
  17. If you want to accept European Switch cards, then select Switch Cards.
  18. Click Save.
