Merchants maintaining cardholder data can create comma-delimited text files (see your software's Help system for instructions for creating these files), and upload the files to eProcessingNetwork.

eProcessingNetwork will process each batch, and then email two text files back to the merchant - one with the approvals and the other with the declines (cardnumber info will be truncated).

There is no fixed format requirement for these files, although eProcessingNetwork does recommend that you include the street address and Zip code for each transaction for better rates from your bank (see your original merchant account agreement with your bank for details on rate information).

You may include additional fields in each transaction. These fields will be ignored by eProcessingNetwork while processing the data, but will be returned in the approval and declined response files. Merchants often use additional fields for post-processing of the response files.

To upload a file, log in to the eProcessingNetwork Merchant Support Center (ePN/MSC), and change the URL in your browsers Address bar from:

https://www.eProcessingNetwork.Com/msc/index.pl

to

https://www.eProcessingNetwork.Com/msc/fileselect.pl

You will be presented with the following screen:

Click Browse, select the file you wish to upload, and click on Upload File. You will then be presented with the following screen displaying the contents of the first record within your file:

Note that there is a field number, starting with 0 (zero), displayed next to each field found in the first record.

Enter the field number displayed next to the corresponding field for the Credit Card Number, the Expiration Date, the Amount, the Street Address and the Zip Code.

If the amounts in your file do not include decimal points, check the appropriate check box, and if your Expiration date is in YYMM format instead of MMYY format, click the appropriate check box.

Click Continue. You will be presented with the following screen:

Verify that the information from the first record within the file is correct. Verify that the total dollar amount of all transactions within the batch is correct. Verify that the number of transactions within the file is correct. If this information is correct, click This Data is Correct >>. If this information is not correct, enter the correct information in the Data / Field# table, and click Try Again.

You will be presented with the following confirmation page:

eProcessingNetwork will process the batch, and then email two response text files back to the merchant - one with the approvals and the other with the declines (card number info will be truncated). Each record in each response file will have the processors response to the transaction appended to the end of each record.
