List of Functions
The full list of functions is found in \911\BIN\CLCAPIW.H file.
Rush Approval Mode
To process Stored Transactions online:

On Debit Card Transaction
- Get track data from the MSR.
- Get the account number from the track data
- Use the account number and the amount to call pinpadRequestEntry

- Call pinpadGetDUKPTValue to get the DUKPT Value
- Call pinpadGetKeyPointer to get the Key Pointer
- Call pinpadShowDone to show "Thank You" on the pinpad
- Call the normal functions for a transaction, such as setTrackData, setAmount (Do not call setAccountNumber since it is for manual keyed transactions and Debit does not support manual entry)

→ See Sample Code and Pin Pad Setup for more info
On Gift Card Transaction
To sell a Gift Card, the POS must first charge the client the Activation Amount by using another form of payment (such as credit card). Then activation is sent to the processor to record the sale of the gift card.
Use clcSetAccountNum and clcSetAmount to set the parameters.
→ Gift Card Vendors use various terminologies. See below for common mapping of terms.
- clcActivate → Issue. Optional, activate gift card. Returns 1 or 0 (ok=1)
- clcDeactivate → Cash out for both pre-valued and not pre-valued. Optional, deactivate gift card. Call 'clcGetAmount' for the amount to return to the customer. Returns 1 or 0 (ok=1)
- clcInquire → Optional, returns the balance on the gift card
- clcSale → Redemption. Do the gift card redemption, returns the Transaction Id if successful or 0 if not. You can use clcGetAuthCode to get an auth code.
- clcAuth → Do the auth, returns the Transaction Id if successful, or 0 if not. You can use clcGetAuthCode to get an auth code.
- clcAddTip → Do add tip/finalize, returns the Transaction Id if successful.
- clcCredit → Reload. Do the credit, returns the Transaction Id if successful
- clcVoid → Void the transaction, returns the Transaction Id if successful. Note: use voidTransaction for CLC COM interface
- clcGetAmount → Get actual amount approved - to be called after every action that affects the balance.
- clcGetTip → Get actual tip approved - to be called after every action that affects the balance
- clcGetBalanceAmount → Get remaining card balance
→ After every call, the client should use clcGetAmount() clcGetTip() to determine the true amount the gift card approves, e.g. for partial redemption. Also after every call, the balance of the card can be obtained by calling clcGetBalanceAmount().
On Loyalty Card Transaction
- clcSetAccountNum(strAccountNum); → Sets the account number
- clcSetAccountType(ACCTTYPE_LOYALTY); → Sets the account type
- cSetMoneyAmount(nTotalDollarAmount); → Sets the dollar amount

- clcIssuance() → Adds points to the customer account based on the money spent.
- clcRedemption() → Deducts the points from the account to pay for the check.
- clcSetPromoCode(); → Optional. Used to issue points based on products. Promo code defined by the merchant affects the conversion of amount and units to points.
- clcSetSKU(strSKUDetailInfo) → Optional. Used to issue points based on products.
SKU Detail Info Format: SKU,price,quantity;SKU,price[,quantity] (quantity is set to 1, if omitted)
Example: "19999,19.99,3;20000,4.99;19999,19.99" means 3 x "19999,19.99" and 1 x "20000,4.99" and one more "19999,19.99"

- clcGetMerchantInfo → takes merchant index handle obtained from clcGetMerchantListData, and returns merchant name and industry
Advanced Programming Notes
Card Type ID
Card Type used in clcGetCardType API can be obtained by looking at the Index number in front of the Card Type in the Configuration → Authorization Configuration: http://911software.com/credit_card_processing_software/index.php?title=CreditLine_Authorization_Configuration#Selecting_Accepted_Cards
