Notes to Developers:
 Developer Serial Number should be passed on all transactions and requests
 Skipjack accounts setup to use with your solution should be edited to match your Developer
Serial Number
 HTML serial numbers must be configurable within the software
 Advanced Processors need Country Code to be passed in transaction. Best practice would be to
pass Country Code for both advanced and basic processors
 There is a project in development to remove the need to denote Advanced or Basic Processor.
Once this project is complete, there will no longer be a need to specify a different URL address
for the different processors.
 Vendors who plan to support Level III Processing, PIN Debit, and/or Gift Cards, must be able to
support additional HTML Serial numbers for each of these possible payment methods
 Configuration settings for CVV2 and AVS result codes should be supported
 Any default values should match those outlined in the integration guide for Dummy Values
