IPC Receipt Generation

IPC provides formatted text only receipts either on a socket or a file. In attended mode two receipts are returned: the Merchant and the Customer receipts. In case of a Kiosk or Semi-Attended mode only a Customer receipt is returned.

Below are the attributes of an EFT receipt.

Note: These are subject to change in future releases of IPC in compliance with requirements from UK APACS.

IPC provides receipts in two text files in the receipt folder as configured in the YESEFTConfig:

MainReceipt.txt – Merchant receipt
CustomerReceipt.txt – Customer receipt

IPC also provides receipts on a socket connection, if configured in YESEFTConfig.

IPC provides a configuration option to suppress Merchant receipts. If this option is chosen then Merchant receipts are not issued except where signature verification is needed.

In case of signature verification, the Merchant receipt is received first from IPC. There is a possibility that the EPOS application may receive another Merchant receipt if the attendant rejects the signature verification on the IPC prompt. The Customer receipt follows the Merchant receipts.

This is the sequence that needs to be followed for receipt printing if the EPOS application is printing the receipts:

Check for Merchant Receipt
On receiving Merchant Receipt, print the receipt
Check for Merchant Receipt or Customer Receipt
If Merchant Receipt, print the receipt and then wait for Customer receipt
If Customer receipt, print the receipt and wait for response

The IPC transaction response is issued at the end of the transaction. There will be no more receipts after the response message is issued.

The receipts are validated as compliant EMV receipts as part of the accreditation process that IPC undergoes with the acquiring banks. All the information contained in the IPC Customer receipt should be printed by the EPOS application. The Customer receipt text should be at least 2.55mm in height and not narrower than 15 characters per inch. The EPOS application should print Customer receipts from all transactions where IPC issues such a receipt.

The examples below show typical Merchant and Customer receipts generated by IPC for a Chip and PIN transaction.
