[ic] Fwd: Important migration notice for CyberCash customers

[Eric Paul]

I thought some folks on the list might want to see this.  I read over the 
URLs, and there's not a lot of hard info there.  Anyone know how this is 
REALLY going to affect those of us using CyberCash?  This *seems* to imply 
that the only thing we'll have to change is that we need to use the Payflow 
website instead of cr.cybercash.com for manual CC processing.  Anyone know 
if that is correct?  (Sorry, I'm not all that trusting of VeriSign lately...)

>IMPORTANT CYBERCASH MIGRATION NOTICE:
>Our records show that you are currently registered to process payments 
>through
>the CyberCash payment gateway.
>
>Your account is currently scheduled for migration to VeriSign's Payflow (SM)
>service on or after October 2, 2001.
>
>As highlighted in earlier communications, VeriSign is in the process of 
>migrating
>its CyberCash customers to VeriSign's Payflow payment gateway services. When
>this effort is complete, Internet credit card transactions from your Web 
>site will be
>processed through the Payflow service. No changes are required to your 
>merchant
>account, or your credit card processor/bank and we do not anticipate any
>significant changes to your Web site integration. We intend to make this 
>transition
>as simple and seamless for you as possible. When the integration is 
>complete, you
>will need to begin using VeriSign's Payflow Manager to manage all new
>transactions instead of the CyberCash E-Commerce Services Manager. We
>believe that you will find Payflow Manager easy to use with comprehensive
>features that will meet your business requirements now and in the future.
>
>Please pay particular attention to the following two items:
>
>1.  When this integration is completed on or after the date given above, 
>you will
>need to use VeriSign's Payflow Manager for administration of all new
>transactions.  At that time you may use your current login and 
>password.  Your
>Partner ID is also required; there is a link in the Payflow Manager to 
>help you find
>your Partner ID.  You will not be able to administer transactions 
>processed after
>that date using the CyberCash E-Commerce Services Manager. You will need to
>continue to use the current CyberCash E-Commerce Services Manager to query
>transactions that were authorized before the migration date.
>
>Once you are migrated over to the VeriSign Payflow service, your continued 
>use
>of the service will be your acknowledgement that you have read and agreed 
>to be
>bound by the VeriSign Service Agreement for the CyberCash Migration at URL:
>http://www.cybercash.com/integration/OnlineVPS7.31.008-20-01.html
>
>To familiarize yourself with the benefits and use of Payflow Manager prior 
>to the
>migration date, you can sign up for a free test account at:
>https://register-payflow.verisign.com/testreg.cfm?product=1001&partner=VeriSign 
>
>After you have signed up for the free test account you will be able to 
>download a
>copy of the Payflow Manager User's Guide. If you have questions on using the
>Payflow Manager, the "VeriSign Manager: Quick Start Guide for CyberCash
>Merchants" is available at:
>http://www.verisign.com/support/payflow/merchants/MgrQuickStart.pdf.
>
>
>2.  VeriSign's Payflow service is based on Automatic Settlement.  If you are
>currently using the Manual Settlement feature you may require some changes in
>how you process after the migration:
>   *Batches that you create will be aggregated into a single batch when
>submitted for settlement by the VeriSign Payflow Service.
>   *All batches are handled off-line. This means that no Processor 
> Batch-Id will
>be returned.  Sites using the Processor Batch-ID will need to be modified to
>ignore these values.
>   *Any orders authorized but not captured using the CyberCash E-Commerce
>Services Manager prior to migration must be settled manually using the
>Payflow Manager.
>
>While we do not anticipate any problems, we apologize in advance for any
>inconvenience this might cause for you and encourage you to contact us if you
>experience any problems or need assistance. If you have any questions 
>about the
>differences between the two administration systems, go to:
>http://www.cybercash.com/mck_mgr_differences.html, or you may call us toll-
>free at 1-888-716-0023 to speak with a Customer Service representative.
>
>We will keep you current on any changes in the schedule; please look for 
>update
>e-mails.

>Thank you for your support.
