Operation Types Description
OperationTypesDescription
| Parameter | Notes | 
|---|---|
sale   String  | Sends a sale transaction to the payment terminal. This is the most basic operation used to withdraw funds from the cardholder's bank account. | 
refund String  | Sends a refund transaction to the payment terminal. This operation moves funds from the merchant account to the cardholder´s credit card. For Interac (Canadian Debit Network), refunds can only be processed until Interac closes the batch of transactions at night. | 
refundReversal String  | A refund reversal, also called refund VOID, allows the merchant to reverse a previous refund operation. This operation reverts (if possible) a specific refund identified with a transaction id. | 
saleReversal  String  | A sale reversal, also called sale VOID allows the merchant to reverse a previous sale operation. This operation reverts (if possible) a specific sale identified with a transaction id. | 
saleAndTokenizeCard  String  | A sale operation which also returns a card token. This functionality is not available for all acquirers, please check with Handpoint to know if tokenization is supported for your acquirer of choice. | 
tokenizeCard  String  | Returns a card token (representing the card number). This functionality is not available for all acquirers, please check with Handpoint to know if tokenization is supported for your acquirer of choice. | 
printReceipt  String  | Print on demand functionality allowing the merchant to print any HTML formatted receipt. It is possible to print images or barcodes as well as passing directly a URL to the printReceipt function. A bitmap can also be printed, in order to do so it needs to be rendered as an image and inserted into the html. The receipts are usually received as URLs in the transaction result from the terminal but note that if the terminal is not able to upload the receipt to the Handpoint cloud servers and generate a URL then the HTML formatted receipt will be delivered to your software. It is important to be able to manage both formats. The format of the HTML data, stored in the URL or passed in the value of the receipt key, must follow this format: HTML Print Format | 
update String  | The update operation checks for new software or configuration updates and initiates a download if required. | 
cardPan String  | A cardPan request will return the full PAN of the card being swiped, dipped or tapped. Only the PANs of whitelisted card ranges will be returned by the Handpoint systems. This operation is mostly used to be able to process funds or points from loyalty cards. | 
pingDevice String  | This operation will ping the terminal to confirm if it is online. | 
stopCurrentTransaction String  | Operation used to stop the current transaction. The transaction can only be stopped at specific stages of payment processing, for example a transaction can not be stopped when the card is being read but can be stopped when waiting for the cardholder to initially insert a card. | 
moToSale String  | 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. Triggering this function will prompt a card input form on the terminal for the merchant to enter the card number, expiry date and CVV of the card to be charged. MOTO has become synonymous with any financial transaction where the entity taking payment does not physically see the card used to make the purchase. | 
moToRefund String  | A MOTO refund operation moves funds from the merchant account to the cardholder´s credit card. In it's simplest form you only have to pass the amount and currency but it also accepts the original transaction id. Triggering this function will prompt a card input form on the terminal for the merchant to enter the card number, expiry date and CVV of the card to be charged. MOTO Refund is a type of card-not-present (CNP) transaction in which services are refunded via telephone, mail, fax, or internet communication. MOTO has become synonymous with any financial transaction where the entity taking payment does not physically see the card used to make the purchase or refund. | 
moToReversal String  | A MOTO reversal, also called VOID allows the user to reverse a previous MOTO sale/refund operation. This operation reverts (if possible) a specific operation identified with a transaction id. Note that transactions can only be reversed within a 24 hours timeframe or until the daily batch of transactions has been sent for submission. MOTO Reversal is a type of card-not-present (CNP) transaction used to reverse a previous MOTO Sale or MOTO Refund. | 
Financial Status
Financial Status Enum
An enum representing different statuses of a completed transaction.
UNDEFINED AUTHORISED DECLINED REFUNDED PROCESSED FAILED CANCELLED PARTIAL_APPROVAL IN_PROGRESS REFUNDED
Description of the different financial statuses:
| Parameter | Notes | 
|---|---|
UNDEFINED (NOT FOUND) *   | The UNDEFINED (NOT FOUND) status can be returned as a response to the  get transaction status request. This status means that the transaction does not exist in the Handpoint gateway. If this status is returned within 90s of the start of a transaction, there could be a chance that the cardholder has not inserted, swiped or tapped his card yet on the terminal and the Handpoint gateway might soon receive the transaction. If the UNDEFINED status is returned after 90s, it means that the transaction processed has not reached the Handpoint gateway and it will NOT be charged.. | 
AUTHORISED  | The transaction (Sale, Refund etc.) has been authorised. Consider this value as "successful". | 
DECLINED  | The transaction has been declined by the acquirer or issuer. | 
PROCESSED   | The printReceipt operation was successful. | 
FAILED   | Status generated due to a network error, a card which can not be read etc. As a general rule, errors are mapped to FAILED. This means the operation was unsuccessful and the transaction has not been charged. | 
CANCELLED   | The transaction has been cancelled. For example if the stopCurrentTransaction operation has been used or the cancel button on the terminal has been pressed. | 
PARTIAL_APPROVAL   | A partial approval is returned by the acquirer when funds have been partially authorized, for example if the cardholder does not have all the funds to cover the entire cost of the goods or services they are buying. The merchant can obtain the remainder of the purchase amount in another form of payment (cash, check or another card transaction for the remaining). PARTIAL_APPROVAL is only applicable to the United States market. | 
IN_PROGRESS *   | The IN_PROGRESS status can be returned as a response to the  get transaction status request. The transaction is known by the gateway but the result is not available yet. Please check the status again after a few seconds. | 
REFUNDED *  | The REFUNDED status can be returned as a response to the get transaction status method. The original transaction (sale) has been refunded. | 
* Financial statuses marked with an asterisk (*) can only be returned as a response to the get transaction status method.

Transaction Request Object
TransactionRequest Object
An object to store information about the request sent to the payment terminal.
Properties
| Property | Description | 
|---|---|
operation Required  OperationTypesDescription  | The type of operation to be performed. | 
serial_number Required String  | Payment terminal serial number. | 
terminal_type Required  String  | Type of terminal. | 
callbackUrlString  | If used,this is the url the payment terminal will use to send the Transaction Result once the operation is complete. All 2XXs http response codes from the callbackUrl (your server) are valid to notify the terminal of a successful delivery of the result. If the callbackUrl is not present, the device will send back the transaction result to Handpoint's REST-API and results can be retrieved using the Transaction Result Retrieval endpoint. | 
token  String  | If used, the token is a unique value per operation generated by your software and used to authenticate the transaction result sent through the callbackUrl against your server. The token will be injected in the request header with key value 'AUTH-TOKEN'. REQUIRED when the callbackUrl is present. | 
customerReference String  | Transaction identifier provided by your software. The customerReference sent in the TransactionRequest object is echoed in the TransactionResult. In case the transaction outcome is unknown (network issue or other) and for some unknown reason your software did not receive any result. The customerReference can be used to query the Handpoint Transaction API and check if a specific transaction was approved or not: https://txnfeedapi.handpoint.com/#api-Transactions-getTxnByCustomerReference. | 
amount String  | Amount of the transaction - in the minor unit of currency (f.ex. 1000 is 10.00 GBP). REQUIRED for operations: sale, refund, refundReversal, saleReversal and saleAndTokenizeCard. | 
currency  Currency  | The currency of the transaction. REQUIRED for operations: sale, refund, refundReversal, saleReversal and saleAndTokenizeCard. | 
originalTransactionId  String  | The transaction id of the original operation to be reversed. Only required to reverse or refund a transaction. REQUIRED for operations: refundReversal, saleReversal and LINKED refunds. | 
receipt String  | HTML receipt, following the format defined in Html Print Format, or url to locate the receipt, it can be found in the response of a Transaction Request, in the fields merchantReceipt or customerReceipt. REQUIRED for operations: printReceipt. The receipts are usually received as URLs in the transaction result from the terminal but note that if the terminal is not able to upload the receipt to the Handpoint cloud servers and generate a URL then the HTML formatted receipt will be delivered to your software. It is important to be able to manage both formats. | 
tipConfiguration  TipConfiguration  | Configuration to enable tipping. At the time of sale, a tip menu will be shown to the cardholder with the predefined configuration. The tip configuration is optional and can only be used with the sale and saleAndTokenize operations. | 
bypassOptions ByPassOptions  | Configuration to enable the possibility of bypassing signature or pin. The bypass configuration is optional and can only be used with the sale, saleAndTokenize and refund operations. | 
merchantAuth   MerchantAuth  | Object used to store merchant authentication. it allows a transaction to be funded to a specific merchant account other than the default one. It is useful if a terminal is shared between multiple merchants, for example at an Hair Salon or a Doctor's office. The merchantAuth is optional and can only be used with the sale, saleAndTokenize and refund operations. For reversals, the credentials passed for the original sale will be automatically looked up by Handpoint and used to process the reversal. | 
duplicate_check   Boolean  | Used to disable the duplicate payment check functionality. When a merchant is not 100% sure of the transaction outcome, they will reprocess the transaction leading to the cardholder being charged twice. In order to avoid this scenario, we are flagging the duplicate transaction and prompting a menu to the cardholder/merchant to confirm/cancel the second charge. This menu will automatically be prompted on the payment terminal if a suspicious charge is detected. We are only prompting the duplicate check menu in case the same card is used twice in a row to process a transaction for the same amount within a 5 minutes timeframe. The duplicate_check functionality is available for the following transaction types: Sale, Sale and Tokenize, Sale Reversal, Refund, Refund Reversal, MoTo Sale, MoTo Refund and MoTo Reversal. The duplicate_check service is enabled to "true" by default, if you want to disable it, you must explicitly pass the duplicate_check flag as part of the transaction request with the value "false". | 
metadata  Metadata  | Object used to store metadata, this data will be echoed in the transaction result.  Valid characters: a-z A-Z 0-9 - ( ) @ : % _ \ + . ~ # ? & / = { } " ' , | 
transactionReference  String  | The transactionReference is a unique (UUID v4) that you need to generate and add to every transaction request. In case something goes wrong and you do not receive a transaction result from the terminal, you will be able to query the Handpoint gateway directly with this id by using the get transaction status endpoint. |

Bypass Options
BypassOptions Object
Configuration to enable/disable signature or pin bypass.
| Property | Description | 
|---|---|
pinBypass  Boolean  | Enables/disables pin bypass. Bypasses PIN entry when the shopper says they don't know the PIN for the card and the merchant either knows they are the legitimate cardholder or want to give them the benefit of the doubt. | 
signatureBypass  Boolean  | Enables/disables signature bypass. Whether the terminal prompts for a signature, depends on how you configure this parameter. The major card schemes (American Express, Diners, Discover, JCB, Mastercard, Visa, UnionPay) no longer require a signature; they regard it as optional for card-present transactions. This means you can speed up your checkout by skipping the signature prompt. But if your business requires it, you can still let the terminal prompt for a signature. The shopper then provides their signature on the touch screen of the terminal or on the printed transaction receipt. This depends on how you configure this setting. It is your responsibility to verify the signature of the shopper with the signature on the card or another form of identification. |
