Feature
As of June 4, 2024, Mastercard is introducing the transaction link identifier. Mastercard
generates a new transaction link identifier as a 36-character unique identifier and
populates it in the first message in a transaction life-cycle. Mastercard generates a
value and populates it in the response message if one was not previously assigned. For
life-cycle transactions, Visa includes the value provided by the acquirer.
