Introduction
Proper configuration of your MID is essential for efficient transaction processing. The Visa Acceptance Platform (VAP) Portfolio Management enables clients to self-configure and manage processor details for their MIDs. This article outlines the process for configuring and verifying processor details in VAP, as well as the steps for clients not yet migrated to the platform. Key payment processor requirements are also provided.
Procedure
- For Clients Using VAP
- Log in to your Portfolio MID via the business center.
- Select the Portfolio Management section.
- Locate the relevant MID and review its processor specifications to ensure accuracy.
- Edit and update any discrepancies directly within the platform.
Note: If you lack permission to make changes, contact your administrator. - For detailed instructions, consult the VAP Portfolio Management user guide or instructional YouTube videos.
- For Clients Not Yet on VAP
- If you are not on VAP or do not have a Portfolio MID, contact Client Services for processor configuration.
- Before contacting Client Services, request a VAR sheet from your payment processor.
- Use the VAR sheet to complete the boarding form provided by Client Services.
- Client Services will review your submission and perform MID configuration if needed.
- Additional Guidance
- For guidance on contacting Client Services, refer to article 000002076.
- Before going public, perform live tests on all accepted card types to ensure proper funding.
