How to get the right VAR setup sheet

For PAX:


TSYS (1 terminal location) - Sierra platform


TSYS (multi terminals at location) - TransIT Multipass platform (Recommended for multi-terminal sites / OrderTab)

  • Each card reader must have a separate Device ID.

  • If devices are being set up in OrderCounter’s Pax Store:

    • Ensure the Multipass welcome email is forwarded to the OrderCounter support team.

      • This allows us to control the configuration and setup centrally.

  • Auto Batch: This must be enabled on the processor’s side to ensure all devices batch out properly each night.

First Data - Rapid Connect platform, one terminal ID per machine

  • Not widely deployed so be sure to double check all functionality prior to deployment


For Datacap:

TSYS - Build one VAR Sheet for Datacap NetEPay Hosted.

  • Include the HCPOS ID and Auth Code.

  • If using Pre-Auth, the Capture Delay / Host Capture Flag must be set to: “H” (Hold Until Released).

  • Terminal quantity does not matter, just one VAR sheet per rooftop.
