32 Processing Refunds (Blind Credits) For processing refunds, the Skipjack Payment Plug-in for QuickBooks Virtual Point of Sale window is accessed directly from the Skipjack Payment Panel rather than from within your QuickBooks application. Refunds processed this way are classified as Blind Credits since they are not tied to a previous transaction recorded by Skipjack Financial Services. Processing refunds in this manner must be enabled on your Skipjack Merchant Account settings before using this feature otherwise the transaction will be Declined. If you are unable to successfully process refunds using the steps outlined below, contact Skipjack Financial Services support to ensure your Skipjack Merchant Account is set to allow Blind Credits. Because Refund transactions are processed outside of your QuickBooks application the transaction details are not automatically recorded in your QuickBooks company file. However, you can still use the Skipjack Financial Services Merchant Register and Reports Manager to view transaction details and create reports for Blind Credits. For more information about online account options, see the Viewing the Payment details using the Skipjack Merchant Services Register section. 1. Open your QuickBooks application to load the Skipjack Payment Plug-in for QuickBooks onto the taskbar. If the Skipjack Payment Plug-in for QuickBooks is installed you will see splash screens confirming the start-up of the Skipjack Payment Plug-in for QuickBooks and the start up of any attached hardware, as shown below. 2. Right-click on the Skipjack Payment Panel in the Windows taskbar. Select the Virtual Point of Sale menu option to open the Virtual Point of Sale window. 3. Enter the desired transaction details into the Virtual Point of Sale window. You must specify a negative (-) Amount in the Virtual Point of Sale window. Enter the transaction information you wish to include for this payment, as appropriate, into each of the fields in the tabs. Page 32 of 46 BETA VERSION

33 For manually entered credit card transactions, be careful to enter the card number, expiry date and cardholder name precisely as it appears on the credit card exactly. For manually entered credit card transactions (not swiped using a PINpad or similar input device), the following fields within Billing tab must contain valid customer and cardholder data: Amount (This MUST be a NEGATIVE (-) amount for all Refunds) Customer Name Card Number Exp. Month/Year (MM/YYYY format) NOTE: For swiped transactions, the Card Number, and Exp Month/Year values are read from the card and cannot be altered. 4. A confirmation message is briefly displayed on-screen confirming that the transaction has been submitted and processing will complete within a few seconds. 5. When the processing is completed the Receipt tab is automatically displayed in the Virtual Point of Sale window. This tab shows the final status of the transaction. If a printer is connect and configured to print on your computer, a Customer and Store receipt is printed. For Approved transactions, close the Virtual Point of Sale window to return to the QuickBooks Home screen. You can process additional transactions or work in other QuickBooks functions. For Declined transactions, please review the reason for the Decline stated on the receipt and inspect the information within each field in the Virtual Point of Sale window. Correct any errors and resubmit the transaction by selecting the Process or Swipe and Process button. You may abort further processing by closing the Virtual Point of Sale window. TIP: Data entry errors in the Card Number field and Exp Month/Year fields are common causes of Declined transactions for manually entered transactions. Double-check that you have typed in the correct credit card number and expiry date and correct any errors before you resubmit the transaction. Page 33 of 46 BETA VERSION

40 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) This section contains answers to some of the most common questions asked regarding the Skipjack Payment Plug-in for QuickBooks. Please review these questions prior to contacting Skipjack Financial Services with your support questions. How do I process a transaction using the Skipjack Payment Plug-in for QuickBooks? The method you use to process the transaction will depend on whether or not an existing transaction or invoice is held in QuickBooks, and whether or not the transaction is a simple authorization or a Credit (Refund). See the section Using the Skipjack Payment Plug-in for QuickBooks to Process Electronic Transactions for more details about using the most appropriate way to use Skipjack Payment Plug-in for QuickBooks for your task. How do I process a swiped transaction using my PINpad? To process a transaction using a swipe device such as a PINpad you must complete all the steps described for processing a transaction from within QuickBooks (See the section Using the Skipjack Payment Plug-in for QuickBooks for details) and select the Swipe and Process button on the Virtual Point of Sale window instead of the Process Payment button to start transaction processing. Please follow any messages on the swipe device during the transaction. NOTE: This method requires that you have a supported swipe device attached and configured for use with your computer. For a list of supported swipe devices, see the section Supported Peripheral Devices for details. Why doesn t the credit card number I enter Card No. field on the QuickBooks Customer Payment (Receive Payments window) form appear in the Virtual Point of Sale Card Number field automatically? This is because the Card Number field in the Virtual Point of Sale window is only linked to the Credit Card No. field on the Payment Info tab for a given customer. In order to pre-populate the credit card number field in the Virtual Point of Sale window you must have previously entered a card number in the Credit Card No. on the Payment Info tab in QuickBooks. Page 40 of 46 BETA VERSION

41 How do I process a Refund? Refunds are processed in a similar manner to all other transactions except that you must submit the refund manually from Virtual Point of Sale window and specify a negative value for the transaction amount. Use the Virtual Point of Sale window to enter all transaction details for the refund and select the Process or Swipe and Process button to submit the transaction for processing. Refunds are not recorded with the financial records in QuickBooks. For more information about Refunds see Processing Refunds (Blind Credits) section for details. NOTE: To Process a Refund, your Skipjack Merchant Account must be configured to Allow Blind Credits. Contact Skipjack Financial Services Technical Support to request the Allow Blind Credits option be set on your Skipjack Account if you presently are unable to process Refunds successfully using the instructions provided in this guide. Can I change the appearance of the printed receipts for my business? You can change only the contents of the business name and details displayed on the receipt (displayed on both printed and on the Receipt tab) in the Merchant name and address field on the General tab. Normally, you would enter your business name, address, and other contact information that you want displayed on each receipt. You cannot change the font and overall appearance of the receipt itself. To add/change the information about your business to the receipts, right-click on the Skipjack Payment Panel in the taskbar, select Settings, and enter your business information in the field provided on the General tab. Select the Save settings button and close the Virtual Point of Sale window to continue working on your computer. NOTE: The Merchant name and address is Required and you cannot process any transactions without first entering information into the Merchant name and address field. Page 41 of 46 BETA VERSION

42 Why is my Virtual Point of Sale window not displayed or the fields within are not properly prepopulated with the form data from my QuickBooks application? This behavior results from an incorrect configuration option set during Skipjack Payment Plug-in for QuickBooks installation where, specifically, the following options were not selected when QuickBooks was loaded for the first time after the Skipjack Payment Plug-in for QuickBooks was installed. To fix this error, follow the procedure below. 1. From within your QuickBooks application select Edit > Preferences > Integrated Applications from the menu to display the window, shown below. Select the Company Preferences tab. Page 42 of 46 BETA VERSION

43 2. Select the Properties button to display the Properties dialog box, shown below. Click on the Access Rights tab. Ensure that the illustrated checkbox options are selected. Select the OK button. 3. Close your QuickBooks application and restart it.

For more information see Installing Skipjack Payment Plug-in for QuickBooks on your Computer section. Page 43 of 46 BETA VERSION

44 What are Reversals Errors and how do I fix Reversal Errors if they occur? Reversal Errors occur as a result of communications (network) failures that happen during transaction processing. Normally the Skipjack Payment Plug-in for QuickBooks application will automatically resolve Reversal Errors without any input from you as soon as network problems are resolved. However when persistent or recurring network connectivity issues occur Reversal Records may persist in the Reversal File at the close of business, and you may need to manually perform a Reversal. This manual Reversals process is described in the procedure below. You should run this procedure routinely, such as at the end of the business day. 1. A network communication failure is identified by a Network Problems error splash screen which is displayed when the transaction is submitted for processing, as shown below. This is an indicator that a Reversal Record is being added to your local Reversal File. Normally automatic Reversals attempts will be submitted by the Skipjack Payment Plug-in for QuickBooks without your intervention. 2. To check the status of Reversals and to manually submit the Reversal Records, right click on the Skipjack Payment Panel in the taskbar and select the Reversals menu item. 3. In the Reversals dialog box, select the Show All Reversals button to display a list of all the pending Reversal Records that still require manual Reversal actions. These are the Reversals Errors that were attempted but which have not been completed. Select the OK button to close this list and return to the Reversals window. NOTE: Do NOT Delete the Reversal File (Using the Delete Reversals File button) unless you are certain you do not need the Reversal Records contained in the Reversal file. Page 44 of 46 BETA VERSION

45 4. Select the Reverse All button to submit the Reversal Records to the Skipjack Transaction Network for Reversal. 5. Select the Reverse All button to reverse the current pending Reversal Records. Select the Show All Reversals to confirm that the list is empty after this action. When the Reversal is successful the dialog below is displayed. The Reversal Error(s) has been manually reversed NOTE: In some (rare) instances it is not possible to resolve the Reversal Errors using the manual Reversal Error procedure described above. In these cases you must use the Skipjack Merchant Register to view the transaction records for the customers and confirm that there are no duplicate transactions present. If no duplicates exist, you can delete or credit the transaction and delete the Reversals File using the Delete Reversals File button. If duplicates do exist in the Merchant Register you may need to call your Payment Processor directly to have these types of transactions Reversed, for example a duplicate Debit transaction. In these cases the information in the Reversals File is still valuable because you can provide the Order Number contained in the Reversal record (the first entry in the Reversal Error) to identify the transaction you wish to have reversed by your Payment Processor. When do I use the Debit Key Exchange menu option on the Skipjack Payment Panel? The Debit Key Exchange option is only used for businesses that are processing PIN-based debit card transactions and when a new PINpad is attached to your computer for use. In this case you should select the Debit Key Exchange from the Skipjack Payment Panel to perform a key exchange to synchronize the keys. This Key Exchange is a basic transaction sent to synchronize the new PINpad with your Payment Processor and confirm that all hardware attached to your computer is functioning properly. You only need to perform a Key Exchange once. When do I use the Print Last Receipt option on the Skipjack Payment Panel? You can select and use the Print Last Receipt option any time you wish to print a copy of the Merchant and Customer receipts for the last transaction processed. You must have a supported printer attached and configured for use with your computer. For information about configuring your printer settings, see the Required Procedure 1: Configuring Attached Hardware section for details. Page 45 of 46 BETA VERSION
