In this document, the steps and requirements for VAR sheets formatted for WorldNet will be shown. WorldNet is most compatible with First Data North (Nashville) & TSYS Acquiring Solutions. We do highly recommend formatting a First Data North (Nashville) VAR sheet instead of TSYS for ease of setup due to WorldNet's longer list of requirements for TSYS VAR sheets and the complexity that comes with them.

First Data Requirements

VAR Checklist

• North Platform

• Nashville Auth. Network

• Terminal ID

• IMPORTANT: The VAR will need to be a custom Stage build that is

  set up for Terminal Capture and has an Authentication Code set. Usually, VARs with an Authentication Code are for Host Capture and to avoid issues you will need to ensure the custom VAR is set up for Terminal Capture.

Troubleshooting Tips

In some cases when you attempt to activate the TSYS account you will receive a “terminal not ctivated” activated” response. For this scenario, follow the below steps to ensure everything is correctly set up.

1. Double-check that details from the VAR match what has been entered into the gateway. Things like the MCC, Zip Code, and everything on the bank settings page in the processing terminal need to match exactly.

2. If everything is matching, contact the ISO and double-check that the account is set up for Terminal Capture.

3. If Terminal Capture is the confirmed setup for the account, ask the ISO if they can reset the authentication code to something different. Once the new authentication code is set, confirm the profile has been activated

...

1. update the details in the gateway, and attempt to activate it again.

2. If you are still unable to activate the account, double-check that the reimbursement attribute has been properly set up on the account.
