Background
TouchNet Marketplace enables departments to build and operate secure, web-based shopping cart applications and online payment pages. Marketplace includes three web-based applications:
- Marketplace Universal Stores (uStores) shopping site
- Marketplace Universal Payment (uPay) site
- Marketplace Operations Center administrative site
This document will focus on uPay.
uPay Intro
The uPay features of Marketplace allow departments to configure online payment pages that connect to existing department storefronts/web applications. uPay focuses only on the payment pages, and the department builds the storefront/product pages in the department system external to uPay. This web application then calls the uPay site when it’s time for a payment to be accepted. uPay allows site layout choices and images to maintain a consistent look and feel.
uPay can optionally pass information about the transaction back to the department web application via a posting URLpostback. This allows the department system to update its record of the payment status to completed or cancelled.

| Warning |
|---|
This project requires department IT staff to create, configure, and integrate the local storefront/web application with uPay. |
We have two separate environments for TouchNet: TEST and PROD. Department is recommended to create and verify connectivity with the TEST environment before going live.
Project Schedule
Marketplace environment is ready for department connectivity. Schedule and timeline will be up to department resources and allocation.
Annual PCI Validation
| Warning |
|---|
uPay departments are required to perform annual PCI (Payment Card Industry) compliance validation, since the department storefront/web application is in scope for PCI. |
Per the UCI Ecommerce/Marketplace Terms & Conditions on PCI DSS (Data Security Standard) Compliance Validation:
