    1 Introduction

    Westpacs Batch Advantage is a secure web based solution that enables you to process mail

    order, telephone order (MOTO) and/or periodic payments. All transactions are authorised and

    can either be submitted via a batch file or as individual transactions. Visa, MasterCard,

    American Express and Diners Club cards are supported.

    Qvalent, a fully owned subsidiary of Westpac Banking Corporation, has developed and hosts the

    Batch Advantage website.

    This guide outlines the features of Batch Advantage and provides step by step examples of how

    to use those features.

    1.1 Your Obligations When Using This Facility We recommend that you read the website terms & conditions before you enter the website.

    In line with the Merchant Terms & Conditions, you should ensure you do not attempt to process

    transactions where the recurring authority has been cancelled or the transaction is duplicated.

    You should save the batch file in a secure environment in your PC or server and with appropriate

    security e.g. password protected. You should also ensure the file is not saved in a location

    where any internet accessible files are stored. This would help minimise any compromise of the

    card details that are stored on your PC or server.

    For periodic payments, we recommend that you should use the copy batch feature online to

    process those payments as required.

    The merchant is responsible for any employee fraud and so the maintenance of users in your

    organisation is the responsibility of the merchant. If users leave the employment of the

    merchant, the merchant must ensure the user is disabled in the Batch Advantage website

    immediately.

    1.2 Online Help When you are using the website, you can get help at any time on each page.

    To view the online help click on Help.

  • 4 Batch Advantage User Guide

    2 Using the Batch Advantage Facility

    After you are approved for the Batch Advantage facility, you will be provided with a primary login

    name and temporary password to enable you to access the Batch Advantage website. This

    primary username and password will have User Administrator access to the website. The User

    Administrator access should be provided to a senior member of your organisation. Remember

    that additional logins with different levels of access can be created by the User Administrator. If

    the User Administrator loses their password, they should call the Merchant Business Solutions

    Help Desk on 1800 029 749 (8.30am 5pm, Monday to Friday). All other users should contact

    their User Administrator to reset their passwords.

    2.1 Signing In for the First Time On your first login you will be required to change your password. To login and change your

    password, you must do the following:

    1. Enter the following URL into your browser: www.batchadvantage.qvalent.com

    3. Enter your login name and temporary password.

    4. Check the details are correct and press Sign in.

    5. Enter your current temporary password

  • Batch Advantage User Guide 5

    6. Enter your new password (should be at least 8 alphanumeric characters long eg.

    secretword12)

    Password Reminder:

    family members etc) or one that was previously used.

    2.2 Manage Users User Administrators can create new users or edit and delete existing users. They will also need

    to reset the passwords of other users in the organisation. If the User Administrator is the only

    user in the company, we recommend that you should create a different user to submit

    transactions and only use the User Administrator user to manage the other user. This way you

    can reset the password at any time.

    Creating New Users

    The User Administrator can create new users with different roles. We recommend that you

    create different users to perform specific tasks. A user can be assigned the following roles:

    Batch Creator create & view batch files

    Authorise Batches authorise batches submitted by other users if you have selected dual authorisation (requires Batch Creator role)

    Refund Processor refund transactions (requires Batch Creator or Ad-hoc Transaction Processor role)

    Ad-hoc Transaction Processor create & view ad-hoc transactions

    User Administrator manage users

    To create a new user, you should follow these steps:

    1. Click Administration on the left navigation menu.

    2. Click Manage Users on the left navigation menu.

    3. Click Create New User on the Manage Users screen.

  • 6 Batch Advantage User Guide

    4. Choose a login name for the user which is at least 6 characters long. The login name could

    be users first name and surname e.g. johnsmith.

    5. Enter the users full name and date of birth.

    6. Enter the phone, fax & mobile numbers.

    7. Enter their email address.

    8. Assign the roles to the user.

    Note: You should select at least select Batch Creator or Ad-hoc Transaction processor. You

    cannot select Authorise Batches or Refund Processor without selecting Batch Creator or Ad-hoc

    Transaction Processor.

    9. Enter your own password and press Save.

    10. A temporary password is generated for the new user.

    11. Provide the login name and temporary password to the user.

    Note: For security reasons, we recommend that you should not provide the login name and

    temporary password to the user via email. You should instead provide it in person or over the

    phone.

    There are two upload options available. The Wizard option allows your users to edit the batch

    after it has been uploaded and create new batches through the web site. The Express option

    does not give your users these abilities. If your batch files are generated by a computer system,

    you should choose the Express option.

  • 10 Batch Advantage User Guide

    Upload File Format

    You should select the file format that best suits you. The accepted file formats are:

    Merchant Transmission Service (MTS) if you previously used the Westpac MTS solution.

    Excel template if you will be using the Westpac Excel template.

    Auto-Detect From Uploaded File if you use more than one file format.

    Dual Authorisation

    Batch Advantage allows you to select whether your company requires dual authorisation for

    processing of batches. If you check the Dual Authorisation box, each batch must be submitted

    by two separate users before it will be processed. Otherwise, users may submit batches for

    processing without approval from anyone else. Enable Dual Authorisation if your company's

    internal processes require this feature.

    2.4 Merchant Details If you have multiple merchant IDs, we recommend that you add a description for each merchant

    ID to help you easily differentiate the different merchant facilities. A User Administrator can add

    a description for each merchant ID as follows:

    1. Click Administration on the left navigation menu.

    2. Click Merchants on the left navigation menu.

    3. Enter a description against each merchant ID.

    4. Press Save.

    American Express or Diners Merchant Facility

    If you want to process American Express or Diners cards through Batch Advantage, you will

    need to register the American Express or Diners facility to each Westpac merchant facility.

    To add American Express or Diners facility, you need to:

    1. Click the Register to accept Amex or Diners through Batch Advantage link.

    2. Enter the 10 digit American Express or Diners merchant ID and press Continue.

    3. Tick all the boxes if you accept the registration pre-requisites and press Submit.

    of processed batches online instead of storing the transactions on your PC or server. This will

    not only save you the time you spend creating a new batch, it will ensure that you dont

    2. Press Create Copy to create a copy of the batch.

    picker and then press Display.

    see the settlement report for both days to reconcile your settlement value.

    You can see which batches and ad-hoc transactions contributed to your settlement value by

    clicking on the name of the card scheme, or by selecting the settlement record and pressing

    View Details.

    selecting it and pressing View Details.

    6 Reprocessing Declined Transactions

    If you purchased the Batch Advantage Plus product, you have the ability to reprocess your

    declined batch transactions. This can greatly reduce the number of declined transactions you

    have to manually follow up with your customers. You can configure either manual or automatic

    reprocessing, depending on your business processes.

    Only soft decline transactions will be reprocessed. These are transactions that received

    response codes such as insufficient funds. Transactions that received response codes such as

    expired card will not be reprocessed. Automatic reprocessing will occur after 4am on the

    designated business day.

    6.1 Setting Reprocessing Options Reprocessing options can only be set by your facilitys User Administrator. To set your

    reprocessing option:

    1. Select Set Preferences from the left navigation menu.

    2. Set the Batch Reprocessing Option to one of the following: No Reprocessing, Automatic

    Reprocessing or Manual Reprocessing.

    3. If you select Automatic Reprocessing, you must also select the number of business days

    after which the transactions will be reprocessed. This value must be between 2 and 14.

    Westpac recommends that you choose 4 business days as this has shown to give the best

    balance between timeliness and approved transactions.

    4. You can also choose a Default Report Type which will be pre-selected for you when you

    view a Batch Summary Report. See section xxx for more information.

    6.2 Manual Reprocessing If you choose manual reprocessing, you must manually reprocess each batch file via the Batch

    Advantage web interface as follows.

    1. View the processed batch in question.

    2. Press the Reprocess Declined Transactions button.

  • Batch Advantage User Guide 29

    3. Enter the date you wish the transactions to be reprocessed. This date must be at least 2

    business days after the original processing attempt.

    4. Press Reprocess Declined Transactions.

    6.3 Viewing Reprocessing Reports Once a batch has been reprocessed, extra report types will be available from the Batch

    Summary Report screen. The report types can be applied to any report format. These report

    options are as follows:

  • 30 Batch Advantage User Guide

    1. Consolidated Batch this report lists the final result of transaction processing. For example,

    if a transaction was declined in the first processing attempt, but approved in the second

    processing attempt, this report will show that transaction as approved. Use this report to

    see which customers have paid and which have not.

    2. Original Batch Only this report type shows the results of the original processing attempt.

    Not information about reprocessed transactions is included.

    3. Reprocessed Batch Only this report type shows the results of the reprocessing attempt.

    Only transactions that were reprocessed are included.

    Please Note: Following the decision by AOL (the vendors of Netscape browsers) to cease

    development and support of Netscape browsers, we no longer recommend or support the use of

    these browsers to access Batch Advantage.

    Non-compatible browsers: If you are not using one of the browser versions listed above, you

    may wish to download the latest version.

    Check you are connected to the legitimate Batch Advantage website

    Every time you connect to Batch Advantage, the service sends your browser a piece of

    information called a "digital certificate". This certificate securely identifies the site you are

    connecting to, and is used to establish the encrypted session. This certificate has been digitally

    signed" by Verisign, the most recognised issuer of digital certificates in the world. Most browser

    software is written to automatically recognise any certificate signed by Verisign. You can view

    the contents of the certificate when you are connected to the internet.

    For Microsoft Internet Explorer, to view the details of the certificate double-click on the closed

    padlock icon displayed on the status bar (IE6) or next to the address bar (IE7).

    For Firefox:

    1. Click on the closed padlock icon displayed on the status bar

    2. Select Security and then press View.

    When viewing the certificate ensure that:

    1. It has been Issued to www.batchadvantage.qvalent.com

    2. The Issued by section refers to Verisign.

    3. Todays date is within the valid date range.

    Each certificate also has a digital fingerprint which is essentially a string of numbers. Like any

    fingerprint, it is unique. For security purposes it is updated annually when each digital certificate

    is updated.

    Confirm that your data is encrypted

    When you sign into Batch Advantage, a secure session will be established between your

    computer and the Bank. You will not be able to connect to the Batch Advantage sign in page

    unless your browser connects with full 128-bit SSL encryption. You can confirm your Batch

    Advantage session is encrypted by ensuring a symbol of a lock appears at the foot of the

    browser.

    Shared computers

    A public (or shared) computer is any PC that can be used by someone other than you. For

    example, a friend's computer, those at Internet cafes, libraries, schools, shopping centres,

    hotels, airports, pubs, youth hostels and some workplaces where more than one person has

    access to the same PC.

    A public computer may not be as safe as a private computer. Possible risks include:

    Increased viruses

    Unauthorised software

    Maximum security options not set

    When using shared computers we recommend you follow these steps to help safeguard your

    privacy:

    Be conscious of your surroundings and ensure no-one is standing behind you looking over your shoulder.

    Sign out of Batch Advantage by clicking on the Sign Out button.

    Close the browser by clicking on the 'X' icon, usually located at the top right hand side of the screen.

    Change your password at your earliest convenience.

    If you are not sure about the security level of the public computer you are using, we recommend

    you find a more secure PC.

    10 Authorisation Response Codes

    The following table provides a full list of response codes that may be received through your

    Batch Advantage facility. In normal operation, the response codes you will receive will be a small

    subset of the full list.

    If you receive a reject, take the following steps to resolve the issue:

    1. Read the error description. In many cases, the cause of the issue may be easily determined

    from the error description e.g. 51 Not Sufficient Funds.

    2. Double-check your transaction details. Before contacting the cardholder, check that you

    have entered the correct details for the transaction.

    3. Contact the cardholder. If a transaction has been rejected and you cannot determine the

    reason, you should go back to the cardholder as the first point of contact. With the

    cardholder, you may agree to retry the transaction, correct the card details or try alternative

    card details. Most rejection codes are returned from the cardholders financial institution, so

    the cardholder may need to contact the financial institution that issued the card to them to

    understand why a transaction was rejected.

    4. If you cannot resolve the reason for the rejection through the above means, contact us on

    1800 029 749 and we will assist.
