Setting Up Device Data Collection When Using a Flex Microform Token

Running the Setup service identifies the customer's bank and prepares for collecting data about the device that the customer is using to place the order. In this use case, a Flex Microform token is used instead of the payment card data. Flex Microform tokens are only valid for 15 minutes.

Card-Specific Requirements

Some payment cards require specific information to be collected during a transaction.

paymentInformation.card.type: This field is required when the card type is Cartes Bancaires, JCB, UnionPay International, or Meeza.

Country-Specific Requirements

These fields are required for transactions in specific countries.

consumerAuthenticationInformation. overrideCountryCode: For Meeza transactions, this value must be set to
EG
if Egypt was not set as the country in merchant configuration during merchant boarding.
orderInformation.billTo.administrativeArea: This field is required for transactions in the US and Canada.
orderInformation.billTo.postalCode: This field is required when the
orderInformation.billTo.country
field value is
US
or
CA
.

merchantInformation.merchantDescriptor. country: For Meeza transactions, this value must be set to
EG
if Egypt was not set as the country in merchant configuration during merchant boarding.
