Mail Order /Telephone Order (MOTO) sale. MOTO is a type of card-not-present (CNP) transaction in which services are paid and delivered via telephone, mail, fax, or internet communication.

Signature result
signatureResult
Method
A signatureRequired event is invoked during a transaction when a signature verification is required, for example when a payment is done with a swiped or chip and signature card. The merchant is required to ask the cardholder for signature and approve (or decline) the transaction. signatureResult tells the payment terminal if the signature was approved by passing the value true in the method. To decline a signature event then false should be passed to the payment terminal. Note that this event is only required for an HiLite integration and can be safely ignored for a PAX or Telpo integration.
Parameters
Parameter | Notes |
---|---|
accepted Required Boolean | pass true if merchant accepts cardholder signature |
Code example
//Approves signature automatically in signatureRequired event
@Override
public void signatureRequired(SignatureRequest signatureRequest, Device device){
api.signatureResult(true);
}

Invoked during a transaction, it fetches statuses coming from the terminal (ex : 'waiting for card' or 'waiting for PIN entry').
Invoked when the terminal finishes processing the transaction.
Returns
Parameter | Notes |
---|---|
Boolean | True if the operation was successfully sent to the terminal. |
Tip Adjustment
TipAdjustment
Method
A tip adjustment operation allows merchants to adjust the tip amount of a sale transaction before the batch of transactions is settled by the processor at the end of the day. Note: This functionality is only available for the restaurant industry in the United States and the processors currently supporting this functionality are TSYS and VANTIV. This functionality is limited to HiLite terminals.
Dependencies: The code example provided depends on RxJava, take a look a their documentation to see how to easily include this dependency in your android project. If you do not want to use RxJava or any additional dependencies then AsyncTask, provided by android, can be used instead for this asynchronous processing. Still we recommend using RxJava as it improves readability and maintainability.
Parameters
Parameter | Notes |
---|---|
tipAmount Required BigDecimal | Tip amount added to the original (base) transaction amount - in the minor unit of currency (f.ex. 1000 is 10.00 GBP) |
originalTransactionID Required String | Unique id of the original sale transaction as received from the card reader (EFTTransactionID) |
Code example
Observable.fromCallable(new Callable() {
@Override
public FinancialStatus call() throws Exception {
return api.tipAdjustment(new BigDecimal(1000), "2bc23910-c3b3-11e6-9e62-07b2a5f091ec");
}
})
.subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
.observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
.subscribe(new Consumer() {
@Override
public void accept(@NonNull FinancialStatus status) throws Exception {
if (status == FinancialStatus.AUTHORISED) {
//SUCCESS
} else if (status == FinancialStatus.DECLINED) {
//DECLINED
} else {
//FAILED
}
});
Returns
Result of the tip adjustment transaction, it returns a FinancialStatus, the possible values are :
Parameter | Notes |
---|---|
FinancialStatus | - FinancialStatus.AUTHORISED (tip adjustment approved by the processor) - FinancialStatus.FAILED (system error or timeout) - FinancialStatus.DECLINED (tip adjustment declined by the processor). |
If two tip adjustments are sent for the same sale transaction, the second tip adjustment will override the first one. In case the transaction fails (not declined) we recommend that you prompt the user of the POS to retry the adjustment.
