1. About paysafecard (via PPRO)
1.1 General information about paysafecard
Paysafecard is a prepaid card that consumers buy in shops in order to subsequently shop online. Since this is a prepaid means of payment, this system is free from chargebacks. In addition it offers merchants a payment guarantee.
Paysafecard is widespread in the gaming, gambling and adult content sectors. The previous Wallie-card has now been adopted into the paysafecard system. You can tap into additional target groups with this prepaid system:
- customers who do not want to disclose personal data such as bank account or credit card number
- young people who are denied access to classic payment systems such as credit cards
- customers who do not obtain a credit card from their bank
- as well as customers who prefer to pay with paysafecard
The prepaid system is international: the paysafecard Group operates in 27 countries in Europe as well as in North and Latin America and processes around 20 million prepaid payments annually.

Further information can be found on the webpage of paysafecard (www.paysafecard.com).
1.2 Connections to paysafecard
You can link paysafecard payment methods either directly or via PPRO. If via PPRO, all transactions are posted as sales without further posting. However cancellation and batch processing is not possible. In this case the additional PPRO parameters are required.
With direct connection via the 1cs OPS the merchant can choose whether to carry out sales transactions or separately posted transactions. Please contact First Cash Solution for help with the necessary merchant configuration. In the variant with separate posting you can also carry out cancellations for the whole amount or for amounts not yet posted. In addition in this case batch processing is also possible for postings and cancellations.

| URLSuccess | ans..256 | M | Complete URL which calls up 1cs Online Payment System if payment has been successful. The URL may be called up only via port 443. This URL may not contain parameters: In order to exchange values between 1cs Online Payment Systemand shop, please use the parameter UserData. Common notes: We recommend to use parameter “response=encrypt” to get an encrypted response by 1cs OPS. However, fraudster may just copy the encrypted DATA-element which are sent to URLFailure and send the DATA to URLSuccess. Therefore ensure to check the “code”-value which indicates success/failure of the action. Only a result of “code=00000000” should be considered successful. |
| URLFailure | ans..256 | M | Complete URL which calls up 1cs Online Payment System if payment has been unsuccessful. The URL may not be called up only via port 443. In order to exchange values between 1cs OPS and shop, please use the parameter User Data. Common notes: We recommend to use parameter “response=encrypt” to get an encrypted response by 1cs OPS. However, fraudster may just copy the encrypted DATA-element which are sent to URLFailure and send the DATA to URLSuccess/URLNotify. Therefore ensure to check the “code”-value which indicates success/failure of the action. Only a result of “code=00000000” should be considered successful. |

| URLNotify | ans..256 | M | Complete URL which 1cs OPS calls up in order to notify the shop about the payment result. The URL may be called up only via port 443. It may not contain parameters: Use the UserData parameter instead. Common notes: We recommend to use parameter “response=encrypt” to get an encrypted response by 1cs OPS. However, fraudster may just copy the encrypted DATA-element which are sent to URLFailure and send the DATA to URLSuccess/URLNotify. Therefore ensure to check the “code”-value which indicates success/failure of the action. Only a result of “code=00000000” should be considered successful. |
| UserData | ans..1024 | O | If specified at request, 1cs OPS forwards the parameter with the payment result to the shop. |
| ReqId | ans..32 | O | To avoid double payments or actions (e.g. by ETM), enter an alphanumeric value which identifies your transaction and may be assigned only once. If the transaction or action is submitted again with the same ReqID, 1cs Online Payment System will not carry out the payment or new action, but will just return the status of the original transaction or action. Please note that the 1cs OPS must have a finalized transaction status for the first initial action (authentication/authorisation). This does not apply to 3-D Secure authentications that are terminated by a timeout. The 3-D Secure Timeout status does not count as a completed status in which the ReqID functionality on 1cs OPS does not take effect. Submissions with identical ReqID for an open status will be processed regularly. Notice: Please note that a ReqID is only valid for 12 month, then it gets deleted at the 1cs OPS. |

3. Batch processing via the interface
Basic information about using Batch files and about their structure can be found in the Batch Manager manual. Within batch processing not alle functions are available which are usually available for the online interface.
This section describes the parameters which must be transferred within the data set (Record) for executing credits with Blik and which information can be found within the response file about the payment status.
Following table gives an overview of all batch versions that are possible for a specific action and their specialities:
| Action | Version | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Credit | 1.0 / 2.0 | Standard version without return of parameter Code |
| 1.x / 2.x | with RefNr (valid for all versions other than 1.0) |
The structure for paysafecard within a Batch file to be submitted is the following:
HEAD,<MerchantID>,<Date>,<Version>
Paysafecard,Capture,<Amount>,<Currency>,<TransID>,(<RefNr>,)<PayID>
Paysafecard,Reverse,<Amount>,<Currency>,<TransID>,(<RefNr>,)<PayID>
FOOT,<CountRecords>,<SumAmount>
Example for Master MID function:
HEAD,[Master]MerchantID,Date,2.x
Type,Action,[Slave]MID,Amount,Currency,TransID,Data (depends on Action)
FOOT,CountRecords,SumAmount
The following table describes the individual fields and values used within the data set (record) in the batch file:
| Key | Format | CND | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type | a..11 | M | HEAD for Header, FOOT for Footer, paysafecard for paysafecard |
| Action | a..20 | M | The parameter Action defines the type of transaction: Credit Reverse (cancellation) |
| Amount | n..10 | M | Amount in the smallest currency unit (e.g. EUR Cent). Please contact the First Cash Solution, if you want to capture amounts <100 (smallest currency unit). |
| Currency | a3 | M | Currency, three digits DIN / ISO 4217, e.g. EUR, USD, GBP. Please find an overview here: Currency table |
| TransID | ans..64 | M | TransactionID provided by you which should be unique for each payment |
| RefNr | ans..40 | O | Unique reference number. Only characters a-zA-Z0-9,-_ are allowed. |
| PayID | an32 | M | ID assigned by 1cs OPS for this transaction |
The record area within the response file for Batch transactions looks the following way:
HEAD,<MerchantID>,<Date>,<Version>
Paysafecard,Capture,<Amount>,<Currency>,<TransID>,(<RefNr>,)<PayID>,<Status>, <Code>
Paysafecard,Reverse,<Amount>,<Currency>,<TransID>,(<RefNr>,)<PayID>,<Status>, <Code>
FOOT,<CountRecords>,<SumAmount>
The following table describes the response parameters which the Batch Manager saves in the Record area for each transaction (standard parameters not explained here, such as <TransID> or <RefNR> and request parameters are returned unchanged and correspond to the call as specified before):
| Key | Format | CND | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Action | a..20 | M | The parameter Action defines the type of transaction: Credit |
| PayID | an32 | M | ID assigned by 1cs OPS for this transaction |
| Status | a..50 | M | OK (URLSuccess) or FAILED (URLFailure) |
| Code | n8 | M | Error code according to 1cs OPS Response Codes (Error codes) |
