Transaction matching merchant ID processor. Massages merchant ID data into a homogeneous format accepted by Hephaestus.

Selene

A webapp to upload MID files for processing and generating files for merchant on-boarding.

MIDs Onboarding

The uploaded file is processed, generating files to be sent to each payment card provider (Visa, Amex, MasterCard) in their expected format.

Two files are generated for each provider after processing, one to send to the provider, and a cassandra input file for importing the data into our cassandra database.

The produced files are stored in Azure Blob Storage stored in a folder identified by the timestamp of when they were uploaded in their respective provider folders e.g merchants/amex/081018_043947721

The input file must be a csv format. Formatting details can be found on Bookstack.

MasterCard handback files

For on-boarding merchants with MasterCard, they provide us with a pipe delimited csv file of MIDs. The Selene project can also process these files to generate a cassandra input file. Formatting of this file can also be found on Bookstack.

Not Implemented

The latest version of the app does not yet implement all features of the previous API version. The following features are not currently included:

• Option to ignore postcode validation (regex check).
• Automatically send export file via sftp for amex and send emails to visa and master card.
• Process cassandra input files to import data into cassandra.

Code for these features can be found in the previous version and may be helpful if the requirements to implement any arise in the future.
