Implementing a Credit Card Feed
If client has not made a decision on the vendor that they are going to select:
Check if an electronic daily transmission is available for the type of the program they would be signing up for
If the feed is available, please check what type of feed is available: VCF, CDF, GL1025 etc.- check with Databasics if the format is acceptable.
If it is available and client has already made a selection of the vendor:
Request a daily electronic feed file through their representative at the Bank
Most probably there will be some paperwork to be filled out. Make sure to indicate that the feed will be downloaded by a 3rd party (DATABASICS) directly into their expense system in case additional authorization forms need to be filled out
Submit the request
Their bank of the team that handles the electronic transmissions will reach out with a timeline of how quickly the feed can be made available
Once the feed is available Databasics and Vendor would go through a number of test: connectivity, encryption validation, file format validation
Once all the connectivity testing is successful, production feed can be enabled
The production feed is first loaded in Databasics test environment
The customer tests and validates the transaction, the new payment setup, the extracts to make sure all works correctly.
Once confirmed the updates can be moved into the production environment.
