How does the MasterCard mandate initiated as part of their Authorization Data Accuracy initiative affect triPOS payments integration via a Verifone terminal?

[#1]

As part of this initiative, MasterCard requires merchants processing in a multi-lane point-of-sale (POS) environment to transmit a unique Terminal ID (TID) with each transaction authorization.

Will triPOS manage this requirement transparently to our customers? Or will we need to manage this in our integration somehow?

Hi Mark,

Sorry about the delay - I'm working on getting an answer for you today.

The unique TID mandate is satisfied through the use of unique Lane values that can be set up within the triPOS.config file, so each request submitted to triPOS utilizes a PIN pad with a unique Lane within that instance of triPOS.  If you have multiple instances of triPOS running on multiple PC's, then as long as you use a different Lane number for each, that will satisfy the mandate.
