When building a file for FD Bypass, you need 4 pieces of information:
- Device Type
- State Code
- Merchant Number
- Device Number.
This is from an example VAR,
The TID (Terminal ID) is “RD23 472000 001”
- The first 2 digits are the Device Type
- The next 2 are the State Code
- The next 6 are Merchant Number
- The last 3 are the Device Number.
In the File the Fields should look like this:
- Device Type: RD
- State Code: 23
- Merchant Number: 472000
- Device Number: 001
*If the customer wants to use FDRCNV please advise them of the Group ID
20001 and use
the Device Number as the TID*
A Buypass VAR can be converted to First Data.
Merchant Number = FD Merchant ID/ Alt MID (6 digits)
Terminal ID = FD Terminal ID (3 digits)
Group ID = 20001
