Removing TSYS Credentials

⚠️ Note: This step only applies to users currently associated with this payment processing option. If you do NOT have a card processor configured, please proceed to the next section, Retrieve Your Public and Private Tokens from International Bancard.
  • Practice Settings (left menu)
  • Select Billing & Insurance (top tab)
  • Navigate to the 'Payment Processing' section
  • Click the blue  button:

  • Here you'll see a similar screen:

  • Select the button below (a warning will appear on the next screen, confirming the decision)
  • Click the button

⚠️ Note: This step removes all saved credit cards on file.

This is due to a technological and security limitation: we cannot transfer saved card data from one card processor to another
  • Follow the next steps detailed, including retrieving your tokens, then inputting them.

Retrieve Your Public & Private Tokens from International Bancard

Locate the recent International Bancard email received. This will provide the link needed for integrating card processing.

It will look something like this:

Follow the directions to log in to your Merchant Passport Account:

🌐 International Bancard Merchant Portal

Once Logged in:

  • On the left menu click Business Info
  • Scroll to the bottom of the page under the heading PassportConnect.
  • You will see both a Public and Private Token
  • Copy these tokens IN THEIR ENTIRETY, including the words ‘public_ ‘ at the beginning of the token:

⚠️ Note: There should be a copy option below each public and private token value: you can use this, which automatically copies the value onto your computer's clipboard.

It is recommended to copy and paste both token values on a notepad application, then keep that open and return to TherapyAppointment to enter those values.

  • Practice Settings (left menu)
  • Select Billing & Insurance (top tab)
  • Navigate to the Payment Processing section
