XiUpdater

The XiUpdater solution requires the following:

Merchants should establish the necessary contracts with the Card Updater Service Provider and obtain the applicable configuration/authentication identifiers.

  • From Paymentech Salem: Obtain the unique Division ID Numbers per Merchant for QA and Production

  • From Elavon: Obtain the unique Merchant Number and Merchant FI Number for QA and Production

For the XiTransfer component, the following information is required (captured on the Onboarding Form):

  • Originating IP range so Paymetric can open traffic as needed

  • Email addresses for individuals you want to receive alerts and/or notifications

NOTE: The Onboarding Form available for download on Merchant Portal Resources page.

Authentication/encryption requirements

  • B2B Payment's SSH public key provided to the Merchant for SFTP authentication against the Merchant is the preferred method. Alternatively, a username/password supplied by the Merchant can be used.

  • If PGP encryption is to be used to transmit the file between Paymetric and the Merchant, then the Merchant will need to supply their PGP key to us for decrypting incoming files, and we will supply their PGP key to the Merchant when receiving files.

  • Merchant’s SSH public key provided to us used for SFTP authentication against Paymetric. Paymetric Security does not permit password authentication.
