CardTrack2Data Property

The Track2 portion of the debit card's magnetic stripe.

Syntax

 ptechcanadiandebit.getCardTrack2Data([callback])
 ptechcanadiandebit.setCardTrack2Data( cardTrack2Data, [callback])

Default Value

""

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getCardTrack2Data([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setCardTrack2Data([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This property should contain the track 2 data read from the debit card's magnetic stripe. This includes everything after but not including the start sentinel (;) and up to but not including the end sentinel (?) and LRC check character. You may only set this property with track 2 data, track 1 data will cause an error.

So if the full magnetic stripe read from the card is "%B4788250000028291^PAYMENTECH^05121015432112345678?;4788250000028291=05121015432112345678?", then this property should be set as follows:

class.CardTrack2Data = "4788250000028291=05121015432112345678"

Industry regulations do not allow merchants or processors to store track data in any form of persistent storage. Failure to abide by this regulation can result in significant fines and other penalties.
