Storing Payer Authentication Data

Payment card companies permit only a certain number of days between the payer authentication and the authorization request. If you settle transactions that are older than the predetermined number of days, payment card companies might require that you send them the AAV, CAVV, or the XID when a chargeback occurs. The requirements depend on the card type and the region. For more information, refer to your agreement with your payment card company. You can get this type of information from the transaction details. The pa_authentication_transaction_id is listed in the transaction log of the transaction which is accessed by clicking on the
View
button in the Request Information section on the Transaction Details page. After your transactions are settled, you can also use this data to update the statistics of your business.
