Cybersource
Airline Data Processing

Cybersource
does not store airline data. Instead, it functions as a pass-through service for the data.
Cybersource
enforces only the minimal level of field validation.
When you request an airline service,
Cybersource
responds with certain fields and values to indicate whether the airline data was processed. The response fields for each service are:
  • Authorization:
    processingInformation.enhancedDataEnabled
  • Capture:
    processingInformation.enhancedDataEnabled
  • Credit:
    processingInformation.enhancedDataEnabled
The possible values for the response fields are:
  • Y
    : the airline data was included in the request to the processor.
  • N
    : the airline data was not included in the request to the processor.
Cybersource
temporarily disables your account's airline data processing capability and contacts you if your airline data transactions produce batching errors when the information is sent to the processor. If this happens, your request is not rejected, but you receive one of the above listed fields with the
N
value in the response indicating that airline data in the request has been ignored and not sent to the processor.
