Elavon / Virtual Merchant GeniusCart configuration

Configuring GeniusCart to work with Elavon's Virtual Merchant payment gateway requires three pieces of information:

1. A "UID" which is typically customer selected and may be letters or numbers
2. The "ID" which is a numeric identifier
3. A "PIN" which is usually also numeric

Once these three pieces of information are assembled, build the GeniusCart "Data String" from them. Here is some example information first listed and then shown as it would be used in the "Data string" entered for the payment method:

Example Information

ID: 123456
UID: mysite1
PIN: 654321

Assembled as Data String

ID=123456 UID=mysite1 PIN=654321

If the merchant wanted to only authorize but not capture all transactions, the string may be altered to look like this:

ID=123456 UID=mysite1 PIN=654321 AUTHONLY

More general information is in the GeniusCart manual, which you can download at the GeniusCart site.
