Shift4 Shared Token Load

System Administration > System Settings > Companion Application System Settings > Credit Card System Settings > Shift4 Shared Token Load

If you process credit card transactions using Shift4, you can use this routine to take any token issued to a credit card transaction (an authorized “sale”) and make it available to be shared among all selling locations. During payment processing, if Token Sharing is active, STORIS records the token received from Shift4 (and other pertinent data) in the database so that the consumer can reuse the card information for additional transactions. In order to gain access to this process, the Shift4 module must be active on the system.

The date in this field is defaulted based on the Token Retention Days setting in Payment Card and Device Settings. For example, if Token Retention Days is set to 30 and the current date is 12/01/2017, the Start Date defaults to 11/01/2017. Click the calendar icon to select a different date. You cannot choose a date earlier than the defaulted start date or later than the current date. When the load process is run, tokens obtained from the start date through the current date are loaded.

Clicking the Run button on the command bar starts the token load process. A status bar is presented and you also have the ability to cancel the process. Note that if you choose to cancel the process, any tokens that have already been loaded remain. This process can be re-run without any detrimental effects; however, it should only need to be run once to completion to accomplish its goal.
