Credit Card Services Setup
The Computer Ease RCS and ceFoundation applications use the "MasterCard Automated Point of sale Program", MAPP, protocols when communicating with credit card providers[*1].

When applying for the ability to process credit cards at your store, the credit card service provider will create a credit card processing profile for you.  In order to create that profile, the following information must be sent to your credit card service provider.

Once your profile has been created, the service provider will assign a Terminal Identification Number (TID) to your store.  This number will be an "EA" followed by seven digits, for example EA1234567.

Once you receive your TID, please call Computer Ease Technical Support for assistance with configuring the RCS application for credit card processing.
