How-to Format VAR Sheet(s) for Authorize.Net Gateway

Overview

To enable credit card processing for a LaundryCard or FasCard account through Authorize.Net, a merchant processing account must be configured. CCI can assist with this setup through its preferred merchant processor upon request. To receive assistance, contact CCI Technical Support at (866) 860-1660, option #2. If you choose to use an alternative processor, they must provide a VAR worksheet that matches the formatting requirements of the processing platforms listed below.

The merchant processor DOES NOT need to open an Authorize.net account, only provide the details requested below. Only Authorize.net accounts that have been established by CCI can be used with FasCard and LaundryCard.
