Introduction

To configure your Visa Acceptance account correctly, you must know which payment processor handles your transactions and obtain that processor’s technical specifications (often supplied as a value-added reseller (VAR) or “tear” sheet). This article explains how to gather that information and, if necessary, how to open a Support Case with Visa Client Services.

Procedure

Step 1. Confirm Your Payment Processor

  1. Contact your merchant-services provider or your merchant acquiring (MA) bank.
  2. Ask which payment processor is assigned to your organization.
  3. Request the processor’s specifications (VAR or tear sheet).

Step 2. Still Unsure? Open a Support Case

If you cannot confirm your processor or do not have the VAR/tear sheet, open a Support Case and provide all required information listed below.
