E-Commerce and Merchant Account Requests

 

TouchNet Marketplace uStore and uPay site project requests

To establish E-Commerce activity using TouchNet, an E-Commerce application is required. The application will be reviewed by the Controller’s Office for final approval. A copy of the application will also be forwarded to Information Technology for uPay site requests. Application approval notifications are sent to the person initiating the request.

If you are unsure how to respond to any of the questions on the application, please contact the Financial Systems Management office for assistance. Submission of this information is part of the preliminary process and does not complete the request/setup process. The person initiating this request may be contacted for more information as the process continues.

Important:

• Applications will not be processed without worktags - Consult your Budget Director for questions regarding the appropriate worktag to be used for this project. Worktags are subject to final approval by the Controller's Office.
• Please allow a minimum of 30 days for project completion.
• Please review the Policy & Procedures for E-Commerce solutions.
   

(Non-TouchNet) Merchant Account requests

To establish payment gateway/payment points independent of TouchNet’s payment gateway, a Merchant Account Request is required. The request will be reviewed by the Office of the Controller (and IT where applicable) for approval. This request is required for both software and/or equipment contracts or purchases related to credit card processing. If a third-party vendor is to be employed for this merchant project, proof of the vendor’s PCI compliance attestation will be required.

Upon review of the merchant account request, the Office of the Controller will place the request to the merchant processor.
