Batch Processing

The eSELECTplus Batch process allows you to upload multiple transactions as a single file for processing in batch mode. You can send files as regularly as you wish, assuming the previous file has been processed. Upon receiving the files, eSELECTplus will process the input file and create an output file for you. The input file is a series of transactions (Purchase, PreAuth, Completion, Purchase Correction, and Refund). The output file is a series of receipts, indicating the outcome of each transaction.

These batch files are based on either an XML format or a CSV (Comma Delimited) format described in the corresponding documentation provided to the merchant. If the files don't conform to the specified format then transactions will be rejected. Confirming files will be processed in a quick and efficient manner. These processed files can be retrieved shortly after delivery - depending on the number of transactions.

The delivery/retrieval of the files must be done via secureFTP (secure file transfer protocol). This mechanism guarantees a safe and encrypted information exchange from merchant to eSELECTplus and back to merchant. Secure FTP is widely accepted and uses SSL (Secure Sockets Layer protocol) to send and receive data.

A merchant that signs up to use the SFTP facility will receive from Moneris a "User Id and Password". In addition they will be given a location (hostname /IP address) to connect to and a directory.
