Instructions
You can choose which credit card software and merchant services provider you would like to use. Mailware includes support for over 100 providers (see list below) and supports several third party software programs which work with the vast majority of providers. Export reports are included too, so you can use other packages as well.
Mailware supports the following credit card software. If you use one of these now, or if your provider accepts charges from one, Mailware will connect to the gateway and charge the credit card during order entry or batch order processing. It will enter the approval number for you into the order and mark it paid. The supported software packages are:
PC Charge (http://www.pccharge.com/)
IC Verify (http://www.icverify.com/)
Authorize Net (http://www.authorizenet.com) and many other gateways (see list below)
For Authorize Net and other supported gateways you will need the xPayment component which is included with Mailware 2010 and above.
Chase PaymentTech (http://www.chasepaymentech.com/)
For Chase PaymentTech and other supported gateways you will need the xPayment component which is included with Mailware 2010 and above.
XCharge (http://www.xcharge.biz)
First, install and test your credit card software. It must be working before you attempt to process a charge through Mailware.
Next, click Tools on the text menu and select Preferences 
In the dialog that opens, click the Credit Card tab 
Interface Software- Select your credit card software from the pulldown. The Credit Card Preferences screen displays the fields needed for your particular software.

PC Charge is supported for single stations, and multiple stations on a network.

Use Table – Check this box if you have multiple Merchant Numbers. See the Set Up Multiple Merchant Accounts topic for help setting up your multiple ID’s.
Processor – Select the appropriate processor from the pulldown. This information can also be found in PCCharge under Setup>Credit Card Company.
Time Out – The value you enter will determine how long your credit card software will wait before returning a “cannot connect” message. In most cases enter 45 seconds unless a different time out is recommended by your merchant services provider.
Last Valid Year – For 2 digit credit card expiration dates enter the last year to be interpreted as belonging to the 21st century (20XX). For example, if you enter a Last Valid Year of 30, an expiration of 01/30 will be interpreted as 2030, and an expiration of 01/31 will be interpreted as 1931. This field allows for year 2000 compliance with 2 digit years.
User Name – Enter a Unique Name for this PC. For example, enter User 1 on the first PC, User 2 on the second etc.
Path – Enter the path where credit card information will be stored, and retrieved during authorization. This should be the same directory for all workstations. You can also use the browse button to locate the path on your PC or network. This is the path to the PC Charge application, normally it is c:\Program Files\PCCW although this may vary depending on the configuration of your system.
Note: The bottom section contains information specific to each workstation on your network (or a single PC). The User Name must be unique and must be entered on each workstation.

Test a Charge in Mailware
After you have completed the setup of your software you can enter a test order in Mailware and test your connection. If you experience any problems during the test see the Troubleshooting section below.
Once your credit card software is set up you can approve credit cards immediately. Enter an order (see the Take an Order help topic for details on entering orders). Then click the Payment tab at the bottom of the Order screen. Enter the credit card information then click the button.
Note: Your credit card software must be running, however, you do not need to create a batch. One will be created automatically when you process your first charge each day.
The following dialog will open.
Edit the cardholder name and address if necessary, then click the button. A Results section will appear at the bottom of the dialog, and a Stop button will be available if you need to cancel the transaction.
Your software will contact your provider and retrieve the approval information. Within a few seconds an approval code should appear in the Results section. Click the button. The approval code and amount paid will be automatically entered on the Mailware Order screen.
Troubleshooting
If you experience problems processing a charge after completing the above the tips below may help.
For PC Charge and IC Verify you must have the same Merchant ID in Mailware as in your credit card software. Some banks provide your ID in a letter with additional digits. Be sure to check the setup in your software.
If you are receiving a “Class not registered” error when attempting to run ICVerify, PC Charge or PC Authorize credit card software you can install credit card support files from the Mailware web site at http://www.mailware.com/download/extras/ccsupport/
If you are receiving a “Invalid class string” and are using xAuthorize as your interface software you need to install the xPayment software. You can download it from http://www.xauthorize.com/products/xpaymentcom/
If you are using PaymentTech as your gateway and get a “Precondition Failed” error message when trying to process a charge, your IP address has not been whitelisted by PaymentTech.
In PC Charge, if you receive a result message of ” Not Captured” followed by an Authorization Code you may need to close PC Charge, then browse to the PCCW folder and delete the CVVS.PCC and Address.PCC files. Be sure to backup your PC Charge settings first, just in case. You may also need to delete Credit.pcc and Config.pcc. If you are using PC Charge Payment Server you will need to use the command line switch /UI to start Payment Server up the first time.
Make sure both Mailware and your credit card software programs are running. For networks you may need to run both a server and a client version of your credit card software.
For IC Verify, some providers return a different character in the first position of the approval string (not the approval code you see in the results). If this occurs the charge will appear as approved but will be marked in Mailware as DECLINED. Please contact us for a patch to correct this (we have to modify it for your code). In the meantime, you can manually enter the approval code.
You do not need to create a batch in your credit card software, but you do need to settle the batch created by Mailware. Otherwise, charges will be entered but will not transfer funds into your account.
Some gateways support crediting charges. In order to credit a charge your provider may have limitations such as: 1) Original charge must have been charged by your gateway, 2) The refund amount cannot be more than the original charge 3) The credit must be within 120 days of original charge. Please refer to your terms of agreement with your provider to determine requirements before testing credits through Mailware.
