Merchant Direct - Daily Report Data Availability

Merchant Direct - Daily Report Data Availability

Updates to the time availability of daily data reports on the new Merchant Direct platform are reflected in the table below:

 
 

Merchant Direct - Select Accounts

Merchant Direct - Select Accounts

The account selection tool is featured in all of the Merchant Direct reports and screens. This tool enables you to select one account, select all accounts, or multi-select specific accounts on which to report. This is applicable to chains and super-chains.

Note: Merchants that are not part of a chain, e.g., a single store with a single account, will not see the account selection tool. This is only visible to merchants with more than one account. 

Learn how to:

  • select a single account
  • select all accounts
  • multi-select individual accounts
  • search for accounts to select 
  • clear selected accounts 

Select a single account

To select a single account: 

  1. In the Merchant Location(s) popup, search for it, or use the vertical scroll bar on the right side of the popup to scroll up or down for it. 
  2. Once you locate the account, place a checkmark in the checkbox beside it. 
  3. Click the Apply button at the bottom of the Merchant Location(s) popup.

Select all accounts

To select all accounts:

  1. In the Merchant Location(s) popup, click the Select All link in the top right corner. All checkboxes will be checked. 
  2. Click the Apply button at the bottom of the Merchant Location(s) popup.

Multi-select accounts

To select individual accounts from the list:

  1. In the Merchant Location(s) popup, search for the account you wish to select, or use the vertical scroll bar on the right side of the Merchant Location(s) popup to scroll up or down for it. 
  2. Once you locate the account, place a checkmark in the checkbox beside it. 
  3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 as needed to locate and select additional locations. 
  4. Click the Apply button at the bottom of the Merchant Location(s) popup.

Search for accounts

You can search for accounts by their account number, address, or store number. 

  1. In the Merchant Location(s) popup, click inside the search field at the top of the popup. 
  2. Begin typing in your search criteria. As you type, the list will narrow down.
  3. Once you locate the account that you are searching for, place a checkmark in the checkbox beside it. 
  4. (Optional) Repeat steps 2 and 3 if you need to search for more than one account. 
  5. Click the Apply button at the bottom of the Merchant Location(s) popup.

If you need to clear your search and begin again:

  • Click the X  that appears in the far right side of the search field. 
  • If your search criteria is incorrect, you will see the "No results could be found" message.
  • Ensure your search term is correct; perhaps try a different search criteria e.g., if you were searching by account number, try the address instead. 

Clear selected accounts

If you need to clear the selected accounts, you can do so in one of two ways:

  • Uncheck the selected accounts one at a time.
  • Click the Clear All link at the top of the Merchant Location(s) popup. 
 
 

Merchant Direct - Select a Date Range

Merchant Direct - Select a Date Range

All of the reporting functions in Merchant Direct have a date range selector that features dynamic calendars. These dynamic calendars help to enforce the date range limitations on certain reports. The Start Date and End Date fields appear at the top of reports. 

Note: The Start Date and End Date fields do not accept manual date entry; you need to use the calendar to select dates. 

To use the calendar to select a date:

  1. Click inside the date field. The calendar appears below. 
  2. Select your month and year from the drop-down menus. 
  3. Click on a date in the calendar.
  4. Click the Apply button. 

For example, if we wanted to run a report starting April 23, 2021, we would select April from the month drop-down, ensure the year is set to 2021, then click on the 23rd in the calendar.

Please note, you can also use the < and > buttons to go forward and back on the calendar to advance or reverse the months. 

 
 

Merchant Direct - Filter and Sort Report Data

Merchant Direct - Filter and Sort Report Data

The various reports in Merchant Direct are dynamic, and can be filtered and sorted in real time. Click on the links below to learn how to:

  • Apply filters to report results
  • Sort the report results

Filtering report results

Filters are a way to exclude certain information from report results; it allows you to view only the information you want to view while hiding results that you do not wish to see. You can apply as many filters as you want to a report, but note:

  • you can only apply one filter at a time to a column. 
  • the more filters you apply, the smaller your pool of results will be.

    Note: Filters that you apply to a report do not carry over into an exported report. The filters you apply will only be applicable to a report being viewed within Merchant Direct. Exported reports will contain all fields and all data within the requested date range. 

Follow the instructions below to filter the report results. 

  1. Run the report. 
  2. Once the report results are visible on the screen, click the Table Filter button. A popup appears. 
  3. Click the Column Name drop-down menu and select the column by which you'd like to filter. 
  4. Click the Filter drop-down menu and select the filter type you'd like to apply. Refer to the Filter types section below for guidelines about filter types. 
  5. Click inside the Search field and type in the search term you'd like to search by. Refer to the Search terms section below for guidelines about entering search terms. 
  6. If you wish to use additional filters, proceed to step 7. If you are satisfied with the filter you have entered, proceed to step 9. 
  7. Click the Add Filter link in the bottom left corner of the popup. A new line of filters is added. 
  8. Repeat steps 3-5 to set the filter (Column Name, Filter, and Search).
  9. Once all your filters are set, click the Apply button. The report reappears with the filters applied.

Filter types

There are 5 filter types in the report filtering tool. Refer to the table below to determine the appropriate filter type to select.

Choose this filter type: If you want to:
Contains
  • search for results that contain all or part of a phrase, or all or part of a string of numbers. 
  • For example, if you want to search for the last 4 digits of a card number used, you could filter the "Cardholder Number > Contains > 8901". 
Does not contain
  • search for results that does not contain any part of a phrase or a string of numbers. 
  • For example, if you wanted to search for transactions done by all clerks except for clerk 008, you could filter "Clerk ID > Does not contain > 008".
Equals
  • search for results that are an exact match of your search term. 
  • For example, if you wanted to search for all transactions paid by Visa only, you could filter "Card Type > Equals > Visa". 
Does not equal
  • exclude results that are an exact match of your search term. 
  • For example, if you wished to search for all transactions that are not $5.00, you could filter "Merchant Settled Transaction Amount > Does not equal > $5.00".
In between
  • search for dates in a date range. 
  • For example, if you wanted to see all declined transactions between June 1 and June 30, you could filter "Transaction Date > In between > June 01, 2021 > June 30, 2021" and "Transaction Response > Equals > Declined".

Search terms

When entering your search terms in the Search field, please be aware of the following conditions:

  • If you are searching for a text or numeric string using the Contains or Does not contain filter, you can use part of a word. For example, if you wish to find MasterCard® as the card type, you can simply type in "mast" 
  • If you are searching for an exact term using the Equals or Does not equal filter, you need to spell your search term exactly. For example, if you are searching for a transaction with $52.68 as the Merchant Settled Transaction Amount, you would need to enter "52.68" exactly. 
  • It may be possible that your search terms and filters may not return results. Check the report date and the filters and search terms used. You can click the Reset Table Filter link to reset your filters and start again without needing to rerun the report. 

Sorting report results

The report results that appear in columns can be sorted alphabetically, chronologically, or numerically. When you sort the report by a column, the results in other columns also re-sort and appear in the new sort order. 

  1. Simply click on the column header you wish to sort by.
  2. The report results will render sorted in ascending order by the data in the column header you clicked. 
  3. If you wish to sort in descending order, click the same column header again. The report results will render sorted in descending order.

Refer to the diagram below to see an example of data sorted in ascending and descending order.

Report results sorted in descending order by the Settlement Date column.
Report results sorted in ascending order by the Settlement Date column. 

A few notes about sorted report results: 

  • The sorting only applies to the report you are viewing; any filtering you do to one report does not automatically apply to other reports available in the system. 
  • If you close the report and then return to it at a later time, the report reappears in its default configuration (it is unsorted). 
  • If you wish to sort by a different column, simply click the column header, and the report results will render sorted by the new column.
  • Any sorting that you have done will not be applied when Exporting the report to CSV.
 
 

Merchant Direct - Manage Columns

Merchant Direct - Manage Columns

The columns on Merchant Direct reports can be manipulated in several ways. Click on the links below to learn how to:

  • hide columns
  • show hidden columns 
  • change the column width
  • change the order of the columns on the report

Hide columns

The columns on most of the reports can be toggled on and off to show them, or hide them. Follow the instructions below to hide columns on a report. 

  1. Run the report.
  2. Once the report results are visible on the screen, click the gear icon () at the top of the screen. The Column Visibility popup appears, with all the checkboxes checked by default. 
  3. Locate the column(s) you wish to hide:
    • You can search for the column by typing the column name into the Search columns field at the top of the popup. 
    • You can use the vertical scroll bar on the right side of the popup to scroll up and down the list of report columns. 
  4. Once you locate the column, remove the checkmark beside its name. 
  5. Repeat step 3 to find additional columns to hide as needed. 
  6. When finished, click outside of the Column Visibility popup. The popup disappears, the report results update in real time, and the column(s) disappear from the screen. 

Show columns

Hidden columns can be restored at any point by following the instructions below. 

  1. In the report screen, click the gear icon () at the top of the screen. The Column Visibility popup appears. 
  2. Place checkmarks in the checkboxes that you wish to restore. 
  3. When finished, click outside of the Column Visibility popup. The popup disappears, the report results update in real time, and the column(s) reappear on the screen. 

Resize columns

It is possible to resize the columns, to adjust their width. Follow the instructions below to resize a column on a report screen. 

  1. Run the report. 
  2. Once the report results appear on the screen, hover your mouse cursor on the vertical line dividing the columns in the report's header (see example above).
  3. When the double-sided arrow appears, hold down the left mouse button and drag the cursor left or right as required. 
  4. Once the column is to the desired width, let go of the mouse button. The column will resize.

Adjust column order

It is possible to move visible columns around on the screen. This means that you can reorder the columns and place columns side by side that are normally separated by one or more other columns. Follow the instructions below to change the order of columns on the report screen. 

  1. Run the report. 
  2. Once the report results appear on the screen, click and hold on the column header you wish to move. The mouse cursor changes to a hand and the column header shades and appears to disconnect. 
  3. Drag the column header left or right across the screen. 
  4. Once the column is in the desired location, let go of the mouse button. The column will anchor to its new location. 

This table shows an example of what this might look like when the Transaction Type column will be moved from its current location to be beside the Settlement Date column.

  • export reports to CSV
  • export individual report sections to CSV
  • export reports to PDF

NOTE: If you have applied filters to the report, sorted the data, or have hidden columns in Merchant Direct, be aware that the exported report will not inherit any of the filtering, sorting, or hiding. An exported report will show all columns on the report and all of the data for the selected date range. 

Export reports to CSV

Most of the Merchant Direct reports can be exported to CSV (comma separated values). CSV files can be viewed and manipulated in text editor programs like Notepad, or in spreadsheet programs like Microsoft Excel®. Follow the instructions below to export a report to a CSV file once the report has been generated. 

  1. Run the report.
  2. On the report screen, click the Download CSV icon ().
  3. In your web browser, look for the file download section to verify that the file is downloading.
  4. Once the report has been exported, browse your hard drive to the location where the file is saved. 
    Note: The saved file will be named after the report or specific section you downloaded, with the file extension .csv. For example, if you downloaded the Sales Summary report, the file would be titled sales_summary.csv.

Export individual report sections to CSV

Some reports contain individual sections that can be exported to CSV. Each section on a report like the Bank Reconciliation has its own Download CSV icon (), as pictured below. The process for exporting individual sections is the same as exporting an entire report as described above. 

Export reports to PDF

The Monthly Statement report is able to be exported to a PDF. When the report has been generated, click the Save as PDF button on the left side of the report screen. The report will render as a PDF and save into your Downloads folder on your local hard drive. 

 
 

Merchant Direct - Modules

Merchant Direct - Bank Reconciliation module

The Bank Reconciliation module provides a summary of deposits, fees accrued while conducting business, and a list of chargebacks and adjustments that occurred within a date range. Amounts for each (deposits, fees, and chargebacks) are listed in both Canadian (CAD) and US (USD) currencies. 

Why use this module

This module will help you determine:

  • delayed deposit and/or deposit retention settings.
  • the amount of deposits that have been retained, and the current retention balance for each card type.
  • component charges that were aggregated together as a single fee charged to the merchant's bank account. 
  • a complete breakdown of taxes applied to transactions and/or service fees charged to the merchant.
  • a breakdown of total transaction fees for each card type. 

Module customization

The module results can be customized in the following ways: 

  • account selection
  • sorting and filtering
  • column adjustments
  • export results to CSV

Module options

This module also features options which can change the type of data displayed on the report. These options include: 

  • Search By Date or Payment Type - This option enables the results to be searched by and displayed sorted according to date or payment type used.
  • Payment Type: Fee, Deposit, or Chargebacks & Adjustments - If you search by Payment Types, you have the option to search by Fee, Deposit, and/or Chargebacks & Adjustments. 
  • Currency: CAD or USD - This option enables you to check the currency you'd like to see on the report. If you accept payments in both CAD and USD, leave it as is, but if you only accept payment in one currency, you can check the other to hide it.

To use the options:

  1. Click the Options button at the top of the Bank Reconciliation screen. The Options popup appears. 
  2. Set your options as follows:
  3. Select how you would like to search for results:
    • Click the Date radio button to search for results by date. 
    • Click the Payment Type radio button to search for results by payment type. 
  4. Select which sections you would like to see on the report under the Payment Type heading:
    • To display the Fees, Deposit, and/or Chargebacks and Adjustments sections on the report, place checkmarks in the boxes for the sections you wish to be visible.
  5. Select which currencies you'd like to see on the report:
    • To display results in both currencies, leave the boxes under the Currency section checked. 
    • If you wish to hide the results of one or the other, uncheck the desired box to hide it. 
  6. When finished selecting the report options, click the Apply button.  In our example above, we are going to display results grouped by payment type in Canadian funds only, and are going to exclude Fees from the report output. Here's a screenshot of what that report will look like:

Run the report

  1. From the main menu, under the Reports section, click Bank Reconciliation. The Bank Reconciliation module screen appears.
  2. (Optional) Set the report options as described in the Module options section above. Once finished, proceed to the next step. 
  3. In the report screen, select the account(s) on which you wish to report. 
  4. Enter a date range for the report in the Start Date and End Date field. 
  5. Click the View button. The report generates and the results appear on the screen.

Available dates for the report

The report is able to be run for a date range of 366 days, up to two years in the past. 

View deposits

The Deposits section is split into deposits in Canadian (CAD) and American (USD) currencies. This section is dynamic, and can display information about the payment date, merchant, chain, and store number, transaction description, settlement, retained, and payment amounts, and the bank account to which the funds were deposited.

View Fees

The Fees section is split into sections for fees processed in Canadian (CAD) and American (USD) currencies. This section is dynamic, and can display information about the payment date, merchant, chain, and store number, transaction description, the transaction and tax amounts, and the bank account from which the fees are extracted.

In addition to viewing the results in a report, you can view the details of the fees charged. In the Fees section, click the + symbol in the View Details column. The Fee Details screen opens and displays information about the fees incurred while conducting your business. 

Note: Fees appearing here are presented as a single charge. This single charge represents the aggregated total of the component charges. For example, a single charge titled 'Moneris Fees' might incorporate any hardware and peripherals you have ordered within the date range, as demonstrated in the example below.

View chargebacks and adjustments

The Chargebacks and Adjustments section is split into chargebacks and adjustments processed in Canadian (CAD) and American (USD) currencies. This section is dynamic, and can display information about the payment date, merchant, chain, and store number, a chargeback/adjustment description, card type and reason code, case ID, payment amounts, and the bank account to which funds were deposited. 

 
 

Merchant Direct - Find a Transaction Module

Merchant Direct features a very powerful transaction search feature that enables you to locate and view transactions in a closed batch, as well as transactions in the current batch.

Here is a helpful video to quickly get you started.

Why use this module

You can use this module to:

  • determine if a transaction was double-charged
  • locate a specific transaction for a refund
  • confirm the status of a Pre-authorization transaction 
  • look up near real-time transaction data

To access this module:

From the main menu, click Find A Transaction. The Find A Transaction screen appears.

The Find A Transaction screen contains search functionality split into three areas: Account and Date, Transaction Details, and Fee Details. Each area can be accessed by using the floating navigation bar on the left side of the screen. Simply click on a section header to be taken there. 

Search for a transaction

Follow the instructions below to locate transactions in the Find A Transaction screen.

Note: The maximum date range to search for a transaction is 60 days in the past. 
  1. In the Account and Date section, select your account from the Account(s) drop-down menu. 
  2. Select your results pool as follows:
    • To search all transactions (including transactions in the current batch), select the All Transactions option. Refer to the Search for real-time transaction data section below.
    • To search only settled transactions (from a previously settled batch), select the Settled Transactions option.
  3. Select the date type for which you are searching:
    • If you want to search for transactions by the date they were processed at the point of sale or online, select Transaction Date and proceed to step 4. 
    • If you want to search for transactions by the date they were settled on the Moneris host, select Settlement Date and proceed to step 4. 
  4. Select a date range of up to 60 days for the search using the Start Date and End Date fields.
  5. If you are ready to proceed with your search (by searching all transactions that occurred within the date range and for the selected accounts), proceed to step 9. If you wish to narrow the search criteria further, proceed to step 6 below. 
  6. In the Transaction Details section, use the search criteria following the guidelines listed below. 
    Note: You can use as many or as few search criteria as you wish in this section. 
    • Transaction Type: Click the Select Transaction Type drop-down menu and choose the type of transaction for which you are searching. Place a checkmark in the checkbox of the type(s) you want to include, then click outside the drop-down to proceed.

Search for transaction data in real-time

Merchant Direct enables you to search for and view details of transactions processed in real-time, providing peace of mind and the ability to action transactions before the batch is settled. With the addition of real-time transaction search functionality, the Transaction Type drop-down menu is expanded to include more transaction types that wouldn't be available in closed and settled batches, such as Pre-auth and Completion 

The process to search for transactions in the current batch is described above in the Search for a transaction section, but it is important to note a few things:

  • You need to select the All Transactions option in the Account and Date section. 
  • You will be able to search for transactions up to and including today's date. When you select Settled Transactions you will only be able to search for transactions settled before today's date. 
  • If you choose Settled Transactions, transaction types like Pre-auth will not be available because Pre-authorized transactions need to be completed in the same batch, which then gets closed and settled at the end of day.

Merchant Direct - Chargebacks

Merchant Direct - Understanding Chargebacks

This topic explains what chargebacks are and why they occur, and some information to prevent chargebacks from occurring. 

What are chargebacks?

A chargeback occurs when a credit or a payment from a transaction, for which an authorization may have been provided, is reversed. It may result from a cardholder dispute, or when proper acceptance or authorization procedures were not followed. These adjustments are processed to your account automatically and a notification is sent to you through Merchant Direct Message Centre. 

In some cases, chargebacks can be reversed if you supply proper documentation within the strict specified timeframes set out in your Merchant Agreement. If you receive a chargeback adjustment advice, we recommend that you respond to it immediately. The adjustment advice is accompanied with clear instructions on what information you will need to supply in order to refute the chargeback. If you need assistance or information pertaining to a chargeback, call Moneris Customer Care at 1-866-319-7450.

Important standards

The information in this section is designed to provide you with payment acceptance standards that can help reduce the frequency of chargebacks at your business. 

  • All face-to-face transactions are authorized through your POS terminal. The card should be inserted into the POS Device for the cardholder to enter a PIN as the card verification method, or the cardholder waves/taps the card on the contactless enabled terminal. The card should not be swiped unless instructed, and manually-entered card information should not be used as a transaction method. These transactions are high risk for fraud and may not be protected from disputes.
  • Obtain authorization for all transactions on the date of the transaction date, and settle the transactions within the authorization validity period.
  • You should not process transactions for which “Declined” authorization responses are received. Ask for another means of payment.
  • Ensure that all merchandise shipped is delivered to the correct address or picked up and signed for by the actual cardholder. Have the cardholder confirm delivery by signing the shipping invoice.
  • Ensure that all merchandise shipped is suitable for the purpose for which it was sold and delivered in a satisfactory condition.
  • Ensure that your return, refund, and cancellation policies are clearly outlined at the time of the transaction and on your eCommerce website. Clear disclosure of these policies can help you avoid misunderstandings and potential cardholder disputes.
  • For recurring transactions that are billed periodically (monthly, quarterly or annually), if the cardholder requests cancellation you should cancel the transaction as specified by the customer and in accordance with your agreement with the customer.
  • Avoid processing a single transaction more than once; reconcile your daily deposits to ensure the transactions are processed correctly. Should you discover a duplicated transaction, Moneris recommends that you immediately process a refund to the cardholder’s account and promptly advise the cardholder about the refund to avoid a chargeback.
  • Ensure that all electronic deposits (sales and refunds) are settled via your POS terminal within three (3) business days from the date of the transaction.
  • Ensure that all refunds are entered as a credit/refund and not as a sale via a POS terminal.
  • If merchandise is to be shipped, an authorization for Mail Order/Phone Order or eCommerce transaction can be obtained up to seven (7) calendar days of the transaction date. For such a transaction, the transaction date is the date the merchandise is shipped.
  • Card not present transactions include online transactions, telephone orders and mail orders, all of which are at a high risk of fraud. Consider implementing an authentication solution designed to make ecommerce transactions more secure in real-time. At Moneris we have a number of fraudulent prevention tools, such as 3Ds and Kount, which are designed to make eCommerce transactions more secure in real-time. We encourage you to speak to a Moneris Sales Representative today to explore the best solution that fits your needs as it pertains to fraud prevention. 
  • To help avoid a potential non-reversible chargeback to your account, please respond to the copy request or chargeback by the response due date provided on Merchant Direct. 
  • Respond to all retrieval requests, even if they appear to be duplicates.
  • Ensure your website display the following information on your eCommerce website:
    • Prominently display your business name. 
    • Complete description of the goods or services offered.
    • Company Information and customer service contact information, which includes an email address and telephone number.
    • A detailed return and refund policy that informs cardholders of their return or refund options before they purchase a product or service.
    • A “Click to accept” or alternative affirmative action by the cardholder when completing an online order as well as a click.
 
 

Merchant Direct - How to respond to a Chargeback

There are two ways to respond to a chargeback: upload documents or accept case. To respond to a chargeback, go to the Dispute Management Module.

Upload documents

If you wish to attempt to resolve a chargeback or copy request case, you can do so by uploading documents such as transaction receipts, itemized invoices and email communications to support the case.

Note: Not all chargebacks are eligible for remediation, therefore the Documents section will be disabled. This means that you cannot upload documents to resolve the chargeback. 

Note:  Supporting documentation needs to be saved as a JPEG, PNG, PDF, or TIFF file format to be accepted. 

Follow these general instructions to upload documents to respond to a chargeback.

  1. Click the main menu, and under the Reports section, click on Dispute Management.

  10. Click the Submit button. The Disputes screen reappears with a message that the documents were uploaded.

Note: Once you have accepted the case, you cannot revert the action. The case will be removed from the Disputes screen.
