Your Qualpay merchant account can be used with any payment gateway that is certified to the TSYS platform for payment processing. If you require an account on NMI, Authorize.net, USAePay, or any other TSYS-connected payment gateway, please contact customer support for assistance.
VAR Form Information
A VAR Sheet is a document containing important information about your Merchant account which is used in setting up your payment gateway. The VAR information allows communication between the gateway and Qualpay.
If you acquired your payment gateway directly, the VAR form would be sent to you at the time the account is set up. Please keep this information on file as long as you are using the gateway with your Qualpay merchant account.
If your gateway was set up with your merchant account and not acquired by you directly, the VAR form information will be entered on your behalf, and you will not receive an emailed copy.
Note: If you need the VAR form information sent to you for your directly acquired setup, contact our customer support team.

How can I reconcile transactions processed on another payment gateway with the data in the Qualpay Manager?
If you’re initiating transactions on a 3rd party gateway, you can locate the transaction in Qualpay Manager Reporting by using the Purchase ID field. Please see 3rd party gateway fields that map to Qualpay’s Purchase ID.
| Payment Gateway | Field Name - Virtual Terminal | Qualpay Field - Qualpay Manager |
|---|---|---|
| NMI | Order ID | Purchase ID* |
| Authorize.net | P.O. Number | Purchase ID* |
| USAePay | Invoice Number (10 characters) | Purchase ID* |
*The Qualpay Purchase ID field is present on the transaction report, batch report, and disputes in the Qualpay Manager.
Using both Qualpay and a Third-Party to Process Transactions
It is possible to use a 3rd party payment gateway and Qualpay’s payment gateway at the same time. For example, your e-commerce store might be configured to use a 3rd party gateway, but you are also using Qualpay Invoicing or Virtual Terminal. If this is the case, you will see:
- Separate batches and deposits into your deposit account for each gateway.
- Transactions initiated on the Qualpay gateway will not be visible in the 3rd party gateway’s merchant console.
