Who Needs This Process?

If you have an existing integration with TRI and have been using Payeezy with a TransArmor Token (TA Token) and now wish to continue using the TA Token with FreedomPay, this guide will walk you through the conversion. New customers who have an existing integration with TRI and want to use FreedomPay with their Aspenware platform may also need to follow this process.

Setup Guide

Follow the instructions below to complete the generation of your new FreedomPay credentials that are linked to your TA token.

Obtain VAR from TRI

Contact TRI to assist you with requesting a copy of your value-added reseller (VAR) sheet. This file contains important payment processing information such as Merchant identification number (MID), Merchant account information, and other business details.

Request a New Account from FreedomPay

Even if you are an existing FreedomPay customer, you will need to request a NEW account. This account should have a unique MID and TID, and you will ask that it passes TransArmor Tokens (TA Tokens).

  • The default token type at FreedomPay is EACR. You are requesting a different type – LPUI.

  • Ensure that you are not using an Amex-Direct

  • Your account needs to be boarded via a FiServ location. NashvillePTS is correct.

IMPORTANT: Do not ask to change an existing MID/TID to this token type. It will break any existing processes.

  • Obtain your Client ID, Client Name and Share Group ID from FreedomPay. You will need these later in the process to generate credentials.

Generate FreedomPay Credentials

FreedomPay provides a macro-enabled spreadsheet for the generation of credentials. The following instructions walk you through the process using this spreadsheet:

  • Ensure Macros are enabled (select Enable Content)

  • Select New Card Present Switching Request

  • Complete the fields in the modal that opens:

    • Processor: NashvillePTS

    • AMEX Direct: Resort choice

    • DCC (Dynamic Currency Converter): Leave unchecked

    • Product: Select HPC from dropdown

    • Google Pay: Leave unchecked, not currently supported

    • Apple Pay: Leave unchecked, not currently supported

    • Paypal: Leave unchecked, not currently supported

  • Click Submit.

Navigate to the Merchant Data Tab by entering the following information:

  • ClientID: Obtain from FreedomPay

  • Client Name: Obtain from FreedomPay or you can enter NEW if you are a new customer

  • Share Group ID: Obtain from FreedomPay or you can enter NEW if you are a new customer

 Navigate to the Store Data Tab and populate these fields with data from the VAR supplied by TRI:

  • Customize your DBA name and Revenue Center name with your resort, but be sure to include Aspenware or Ecommerce in the name for accuracy in reporting.

  • Merchant Number

  • Terminal number

OUTPUT TAB:

Configure FreedomPay Plugin in Aspenware Commerce Admin

  • Use TA Tokens for Payment Plans: Check this box once you have onboarded specifically to use Transarmor Tokens

  • Selling System Name: Be sure to include TA Token in name, especially if you have other FreedomPay accounts

  • ES Key (ESK): can be generated in your FreedomPay dashboard or supplied by FreedomPay

  • Column G: Store ID = Store Id field in FreedomPay Plugin
