VeriFone SIM Versions

The VeriFone SIM version is determined by either (a) the system parameter (Maintenance, Database, Parameters, Setup (Tab), Software (Tab)) default setting or (b) the settings for the pad assigned to the station (Maintenance, Database, Devices). If the pad is set to "system default," the pad uses the version designated by the parameter; otherwise, the version specified for the individual pad is used. If no versions are designated, the lowest version available is used.

Version 2_0_4_7 (2.0.4.7) offers several new features including tokenization (saving card information for customers), the ability to process a return using the original invoice's card information, manual card entry on the pad, sending Purchase Level II Data to the processor, and enabling of VeriShield Total Protect™ for an additional layer of protection.

Users who wish to take advantage of the Purchase Level II Data feature available with the latest VeriFone SIM version, 2_0_4_7, should be aware that this changes the structure of the requests we send. Doing this, requires that we re-certify with card processors in some cases. Unless your company is using either TSYS® or Chase Paymentech™ as a processor, for which certification has been completed, you should check with our support department before enabling this version and enabling Purchase Level II Data.

All other features should function with the following processors: TSYS®, Chase Paymentech™, and WorldPay® (RBS). Any other processors should be verified with our support department before enabling VeriFone SIM version 2_0_4_7 or higher.
