ICVerify

You can continue to use ICVerify to verify and charge credit cards automatically (this assumes a modem installed on same the machine). RODOPI v5.2 uses new and more flexible approach for charging CC using different providers with different configuration for each installation. Refer to Payment modules configuration for more information.Using ICVerify makes sense only in case you are doing upgrade and have ICVerify configured with previous version of RODOPI. Our suggestion is to migrate to the payment modules, because the old fashioned way will become obsolete in the next versions.

ICVerify for Windows should be installed on the SQL Server machine.

Version 2.xx

• Install ICVerify on your SQL Server. Setup ICVerify with your bank processor. Make sure ICVerify works properly from the default installation. You should be able to charge credit cards from the ICVerify Windows Interface and perform settlement.
  
  
• Copy the ICVERIFY.SET file to ICVE0001.SET
  (from Command Prompt)
  copy ICVERIFY.SET ICVE0001.SET
  
  
• Check the "Multiple Merchants Mode" option in the "Edit / Options" menu of the ICVerify.exe program. If you have already been using ICVerify in multiple merchant mode, the merchant number that Rodopi will use is 0001, so make sure it is the right one.
  
  
• Create data directory for merchant 0001 in the system32 directory with name DATA0001
  (from Command Prompt)
  cd \winnt\system32
  mkdir DATA0001
  
  
• Set the data directory in the ICVE0001.SET file. It's important to type the full path to the data directory. For example C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DATA0001 . For each merchant you need to create a separate data directory. For merchant 0001 it should be DATA0001.
  
  
• Copy all the files from the ICVERIFY directory into the SYSTEM32 directory.
  (example from Command Prompt)
  
  cd \ICWIN225
  xcopy *.* C:\Winnt\System32\  /h/v
  
  
  In the main system32 directory now you should have all files from the ICVerify directory. If you are using Windows Explorer to copy the files, make sure you see the hidden and system files, otherwise not all files will be copied. To enable this option in your Windows Explorer go to View / Folder Options / View / in the section 'Hidden files' click 'Show all files'.
  
  
• Run the ICVOLE32.EXE executable from the SYSTEM32 directory once to register the ICVerify ActiveX object.When ICVOLE32.EXE starts (ICVerify OLE Interface), press the button Initialize and then Exit to finish. This way the ICVerify COM object will be registered and Rodopi will call directly ICVerify using OLE interface and you don't need to have running any ICVerify program.
  
  
• Start icverify.exe from the system32 directory. Switch to merchant 0001. Make test credit card transaction. If the test is successful Rodopi will charge automatically credit cards.
  
  
• In Control Panel | Services check how the MSSQLServer service is configured - it should log on with the system account, as is the default setting.
  
  

NOTE: If you need to use the windows interface of ICVerify you should start the executable: icverify.exe from the system32 folder, NOT from the old ICVerify folder. All transactions logs for the merchant 0001 will be in the DATA0001 in the system32 directory.
