Hello!
In our TriPOS Cloud integration recently in the response of some contactless authorizations requests we got "ContactlessIcc" as EntryMode. In the possible values of EntryMode in the API Documentation the possible values are:
Values:
- Unknown
- Swiped
- Keyed
- ContactIcc
- ContactlessMsd
What is "ContactlessIcc"? Is it something new? When it's triggered?
Thank you!
FoodTec team,
"ContactlessIcc" is an EMV-grade contactless transaction. It operates exactly like a magstripe-grade contactless transaction, but includes EMV flags and will return EMV data such as Application ID, Application Name, and Cryptogram, which should appear on the cardholder receipt.
We have updated our device builds at the key injection facilities to enable EMV contactless on all triPOS Cloud devices. Any new device shipped in the past month or two will have this capability automatically. Older devices in the field are not yet updated; we're working now on a service that will allow updates of the existing devices.
We have also updated the triPOS Cloud Lane Management API to include new fields in the Lane Activation step (POST /cloudapi/v1/lanes):
"contactlessMsdEnabled": "string",
"contactlessEmvEnabled": "string",
"quickChipEnabled": "string",
"quickChipDataLifetime": 0
For devices with the newer firmware to support these features, consider adding at least the contactless flags to your lane pairing logic. Note that you should enable either EMV or MSD contactless, but not both. EMV contactless will allow MSD fallback if the card or mobile wallet allows that fallback.
Also note, we have not yet certified EMV contactless with our various gateway providers. Therefore, for any gateway merchants, you should disable EMV contactless and enable MSD instead.
Keep us posted with any questions, there are many moving pieces in this conversation.
