This article briefly discusses some of the common occurrences to expect when integrating with triPOS as a Payrix Pro Partner or one of their prospective Merchants.
Transaction Reporting and Funding
If you have a real-time authorization feed configured for your platform, you can view the triPOS transactions in real time before they’re settled by accessing the Terminal Transactions page.
All triPOS card-present transactions will be imported the following business day morning when the data sync between Express and Payrix Pro occurs. Transaction funding and reporting information will then appear as normal. You can view these transactions by accessing the Payment History page.
Note
No workaround is available for the delay in funding and reporting data.
You must wait until the information is imported for accurate reporting and access to the funding from transactions captured on the triPOS-integrated device.
Integration Testing
The process for testing triPOS transactions differs between sandbox and production environments:
Sandbox testing: You must test triPOS transactions separately from Payrix Pro. triPOS transactions processed through the Express platform will not appear in the Payrix Pro sandbox environment. For more details on sandbox testing, see Test Card-Present Transactions in the Payrix Pro developer documentation.
Production testing: You can perform end-to-end testing using a Merchant ID (MID) designated for testing. In production, triPOS transaction data flows from Express into Payrix Pro, enabling full reporting and reconciliation.
The process for testing in production is as follows:
Retrieve your Express credentials for triPOS transaction processing. See the Obtain Express Credentials section for details.
Run triPOS transactions using your Merchant account. See the triPOS documentation for details.
Link the transactions to your system for reconciliation. See the Reconcile Transactions section for details.
Obtain Express Credentials
To run triPOS transactions, you need a set of Express credentials for each Merchant that processes card-present payments. You can find these credentials in the Payrix Pro portal:
Select Merchants under Management in the left navigation panel.
Select a Merchant to view their profile.
Under Account Overview, select Platform IDs.
In the VCore Platform IDs section, copy values in the Account Token, Account ID, Acceptor ID, and Default Terminal ID fields.
With these credentials, you can now process triPOS transactions.
Reconcile Transactions
To link a terminal transaction to your system for reconciliation, you need the Express transaction ID or the reference number associated with the original triPOS transaction.
To obtain these values, follow these steps in the Payrix Pro portal:
Select Payment History under Payments in the left navigation panel.
Click Terminal Transactions in the upper-right corner of the page.
Select a terminal transaction to view details for that transaction.
If the terminal transaction is settled (in other words, has a transaction associated with it for funding and reporting), then select Terminal Transaction at the bottom of the page.
Find the values in the following fields for reconciliation:
Gateway Transaction Id: The Expression transaction ID associated with the triPOS transaction
Customer Reference Number: The reference number associated with the triPOS transaction
With one of these values, you can map the transaction in Payrix Pro back to the triPOS transaction.
