REST API

Network Specific Values for 3RI

If the request body needs a prior authentication reference Id (

consumerAuthenticationInformation.priorAuthenticationReferenceId

), then use the network specific value from the original response found in one of these fields.

Visa:

consumerAuthenticationInformation.acsTransactionId

Mastercard:

consumerAuthenticationInformation.directoryServerTransactionId

If the request body requires a

consumerAuthenticationInformation.requestorInitiatedAuthenticationIndicator

value and the 3RI transaction type is multi-party commerce, then use use one of these network specific values.

Visa:

11

(Other payment)

Mastercard:

85

(Agent payment)

Note that Mastercard uses the Electronic Commerce Indicator (ECI) value of

07

for 3RI use cases.
