Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC)
Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) allows customers with eligible cards to pay in the base currency of the card. Simplify has modified processing for Sale (02) and Auth Only (01) transactions to support DCC. Other Tran Types are not eligible for DCC. Supported terminal types are iPP3xx, iSC250, iSC480, iSMP4 and all Tetra devices.
Note: if the POS builds a Financial Request using a converted currency, Simplify will pass through the converted currency.
Simplify supports a DCC Inquiry Message from the POS. This is a non-financial message used to support DCC processing. If Simplify receives this message, it will send it as a pass through message to Fusebox (see below for message sample).
Simplify will process a Sale or Auth Only transaction using DCC if the following conditions are met:
Field 169 is sent in the Financial Request and set to 1, and the request does not include a token.
(Possible values of Field 169 are as follows: 0 = not DCC-capable; 1 = DCC-capable/enabled; 2 = DCC-capable/not enabled. 3 = DCC-capable/enabled, but merchant opted for no DCC on this transaction.)
The card is DCC-eligible.
The customer approves currency conversion when prompted at the PIN Pad (“customer Opt-In”).
If Simplify processes a transaction using DCC, the Financial Response to the POS will include DCC information from Fusebox. For more information on DCC fields, see the Fusebox Integration Guide under Dynamic Currency Conversion.
