Real Time Credit Card Processing for AES Join and
Renewal
The Association Enhanced Site Online Join and Renewal functionality
has been modified to automatically process credit card payments. To accomplish
this, the Association has procured the ability to process credit cards
online through a service bureau agreement with CyberSource.
All clubs using the Association Enhanced Site Join and Renewal functionality
must transition to the real-time credit card processing functionality.
With Release 29, this functionality will NOT automatically be implemented.
After National has verified your CyberSource account
is setup and functioning properly, your contact person will be notified
and the functionality can be activated. To activate the real time credit
card processing for Join and/or Renewals, follow the steps defined in
the "Setup" section below. The current
manual processing of the credit cards should continue until this functionality
is activated.
Once this functionality is activated for your club, the credit card
number will no longer be stored or displayed on the "New Member Request"
or "Renewal Member Request" pages of Support Manager. The
only exception to this rule is when the user has selected the "Auto
Renew" option. In this exception,
the credit card will be removed from the Association Enhanced Site when
the "Process" or "Process All" button is selected
for that transaction within the New Member Request or Renewal Member Request
pages.
If the credit card is processed successfully, the Authorization Code
and Transaction Reference received from CyberSource
will be displayed on the New Member Request and/or Renewal Member Request
pages. Also added is the "Payment Processed by CyberSource"
field, all transactions successfully processed by CyberSource will be
marked with the "Yes" flag.
The current manual Join and Renew functionality
will be discontinued in the near future. Advance notice will be provided
prior to this functionality being disabled.
Clubs that are using the Association Enhanced Site Join and/or Renew
functionality that have not yet started the process of obtaining a merchant
account that allows for internet transactions should contact the National
Office coordinator, Kevin Cecil at kcecil@national.aaa.com
or phone (407) 444-7441.
The Merchant
ID for Join and Renewal processing can be the same.
