Sometimes some softwares will request a Host Capture VAR; here is how to set one up.

1. The Hierarchy will be set up as any other VAR, with the store and terminal numbers chronologically set as usual.

2. In the Terminal Information, select "IT - IVR Auth Only Merch" as the Attachment code dropdown, and "RAO - OLA Full DLL Install, Partial Service, Bank owned equip" in the "Service Level" dropdowns. If a merchant needs Host Capture, check the "Host Capture Participant" box after selecting the dropdowns. 

If the merchant also requires Tokenization on the host capture VAR, check the "Tokenization" box, select "000096283349DEFAULT" in the "Token Zone Name" dropdown, and "TDES" in the "encryption vendor" dropdowns.

3. In the HWSW Information box, select "Stage" as the Manufacturer and Model dropdowns, select "2" as the Track Type dropdown, and "HCSTGEN" as the software dropdown. 

4. Fill the rest of the VAR out as normal, I always put what the Auth Code for HC VARs in the notes so I can copy/paste it on the next page. This Auth Code can be 6 or 10 digits, and can be whatever you want as long as it's noted in the VAR in the comments.

5. Hit the "Next" button on the bottom right after selecting all of these options; on this page the only thing you have to change is putting the Auth Code in both of the fields it asks for in the "Terminal Authentication" box 

Finish the VAR setup by adjusting the MC to "No Partial Authorization" on the next page, validate and board. The end!
