Moneris

Moneris processes more than 3 billion credit and debit card transactions a year, for over 350,000 merchant locations across North America. They have over 1,300 dedicated employees who understand transaction processing and know how to make it work for you.

Transaction processing is their primary business. Moneris is the industry leader because they focus all energy on the three key elements of processing - technology, innovation and people. These core strengths differentiate them in the marketplace and allow them to deliver exceptional value in transaction processing.

Moneris Processing Features

AbleCommerce supports all the standard features of the Moneris payment gateway.

  • Authorize

  • Authorize Capture (Sale)

  • Capture

  • Refund/Void

  • Partial Refund

 

Moneris is a Canadian provider.  All amounts will be in CAD unless configured differently within your merchant account.

Moneris USA is a separate integration which can be configured through the E-Payment Integrator.

NOTE:  Moneris will not work under medium trust. You will need to use full trust for this gateway to function.

Post-order Processing

All AbleCommerce payment gateway integrations offer full support for post-order processing.  This means that after an order is placed, you can authorize, capture, refund, and void transactions from the AbleCommerce order administration area.

Some post-order processing features, such as refunds, may require that you enable credit card storage from the Security > System Settings page.

Enable Moneris Payment Gateway

Before you begin, make sure that you have the following information which will be provided by Moneris:

    - Log files are stored in the \app_data\logs\ folder and will be named to match the gateway.

Moneris Test Credit Card numbers

Visa Approved: 4242424242424242

MasterCard Approved: 5454545454545454

Amex Approved: 373599005095005

Diners: 36462462742008

TRANSACTION AMOUNTS:  The test environment will approve and decline transactions based on the penny value of the amount field. For example, a transaction made for the amount of $399.00 or $1.00 will approve since the .00 penny value is set to approve in the test environment. Likewise, a transaction made for the amount of $5.35 or $13.35 will get declined since the .35 penny value is set to decline in the test environment. Transactions in the test environment should not exceed $1000.00.

DUPLICATE ORDER NUMBERS:  Since Moneris only provides a shared test environment, you may get an error about duplicate order numbers.  If this should happen, you can change the value of the AbleCommerce order number to some high value (eg. 10001) to avoid the problem.

 

NOTE:

There may be additional features within your Moneris account that have not been tested with  AbleCommerce.  If you enable unsupported features, you are doing so at your own risk.
