Boarding via the Gateway Manager
To board a Barclaycard APACS merchant in the Gateway Manager, you will need the following data:
- Barclaycard Merchant ID
- Terminal ID(s)
- Barclaycard needs to activate the terminal ID(s), before they can be used. Talk to your Payworks account manager to get the terminal ID(s) activated.
- Sort Code of settlement account
Once you have the above data, open the merchant in the Gateway Manager and select Attach processing path.
Select Barclaycard as Clearing Institute and enter the data.
Once you are done, select Attach processing path to finish the setup.
Boarding via the API
1. Create a Merchant with a Barclaycard processing path
{ "processingPaths": [{ "currencies": ["GBP"], "schemes": ["VISA", "MAESTRO", "VISAELECTRON", "MASTER"], "details": { "institute": "BARCLAYCARD", "country": "GB", "sortCode": "123456", "merchantId": "123456", "terminalIds": ["31969999"] }, "name": "Default processing", "active": true }], "name": "Test Merchant", "readers": [], "details": { "publicName": "Barclaycard Sample", "address": "Street 1", "zip": "123456", "city": "London", "country": "GB", "contact": "+44 123 456 789", "additionalInformation": "VAT Number: 123456" } }
Please pay special attention to those parameters:
- $.name
- Make sure to specify a unique (internal) name for each merchant that you create.
- $.details
- Finally, for the payment receipts, you need to provide some information about the merchant, including Public Name, Address and a Contact Phone Number/Email Address.
You will receive a merchantIdentifier
after successfully creating the merchant:
{ "status": "ok", "data": { /*...*/ "identifier": "74b47dcd-45b0-4c65-a4d1-afd4aae32708", "name": "Test Merchant" /*...*/ } }
2. Generate the Merchant Secret Key
Next you can generate a Merchant Secret Key for the Merchant via the API:
{ "permissions": ["READER_MANAGEMENT","TRANSACTIONS"] }
You will receive the Merchant Secret Key in the response:
{ "status": "ok", "data": { "status": "ACTIVE", "key": "9pCcTI2mzUbLKoCdezVBowhv0b6gGwoo" } }
Optional: 3. Find the reader you want to assign to the merchant
The platform keeps track of all the readers that you have purchased.
In order to assign a reader to the new merchant you have created in Step 1, you must know its readerIdentifier
.
Use this API to find the readerIdentifier
of a reader based on its serial number (e.g. 999-100001):
You will receive the readerIdentifier
in the response:
{ "status": "ok", "data": [{ /*...*/ "identifier": "0665ede3-3990-4c9b-beac-77abfeda5858", "model": "MIURA_M010", "details": { "serialNo": "999100001" /*...*/ } }] }
Optional: 4. Assign the reader to new merchant
Based on the merchantIdentifier
from Step 1 and the readerIdentifier
from Step 3, you can now assign the reader to the merchant:
