Financial Institutions and Payment Networks

Financial institutions and payment networks enable payment services to function. These entities work together to complete the full payment cycle.

Merchant Financial Institutions (Acquirers)

A merchant financial institution, also known as an
acquirer
, offers accounts to businesses that accept payment cards. Before you can accept payments, you must have a merchant account from an acquirer. Your merchant account must be configured to process card-not-present, card-present, or mail-order/telephone-order (MOTO) transactions.
Each acquirer has connections to a limited number of payment processors. You must choose a payment processor that your acquirer supports.
You can expect your acquirer to charge these fees:
  • Discount rates: your acquirer charges a fee and collects a percentage of every transaction. The combination of the fee and the percentage is called the
    discount rate
    . These charges can be
    bundled
    (combined into a single charge) or
    unbundled
    (charged separately).
  • Interchange fees: payment networks, such as Visa or Mastercard, each have a base fee, called the
    interchange fee
    , for each type of transaction. Your acquirer and processor can show you ways to reduce this fee.
  • Chargebacks: when cardholders dispute charges, you can incur
    chargebacks
    . A chargeback occurs when a charge on a customer’s account is reversed. Your acquirer removes the money from your account and could charge you a fee for processing the chargeback.
Take these precautions to prevent chargebacks:
  • Use accurate merchant descriptors so that customers can recognize the transactions on their statements.
  • Provide good customer support.
  • Ensure rapid problem resolution.
  • Maintain a high level of customer satisfaction.
  • Minimize fraudulent transactions.
If excessive chargebacks or fraudulant changes occur, these actions might be taken:
  • You might be required to change your business processes to reduce the number chargebacks, fraud, or both.
  • Your acquiring institution might increase your discount rate.
  • Your acquiring institution might revoke your merchant account.
Contact your sales representative for information about products that can help prevent fraud.

Customer Financial Institutions (Issuers)

A customer financial institution, also known as an
issuer
, provides payment cards to and underwrites lines of credit for their customers. The issuer provides monthly statements and collects payments. The issuer must follow the rules of the payment card companies to which they belong.

Payment Networks

Payment networks manage communications between acquirers and issuing banks. They also develop industry standards, support their brands, and establish fees for acquiring institutions.
Some payment networks, such as Visa and Mastercard, are trade associations that do not issue cards. Issuers are members of these associations, and they issue cards under license from the association.
Other networks, such as Discover
and American Express
, issue their own cards. Before you process cards from these companies, you must sign agreements with them.

Payment Processors

Payment processors connect with acquirers. Before you can accept payments, you must register with
a payment processor
.
An acquirer might require you to use a payment processor with an existing relationship with the acquirer.
Your payment processor
assigns one or more merchant IDs (MIDs) to your business. These unique codes identify your business during payment transactions.
This table lists the processors and corresponding card types that are supported for payment services.
Only the card types explicitly listed here are supported.

Co-Badged Cards

Co-badged cards are credit and debit cards that integrate two or more payment networks.

mada Co-Badged Cards

mada is Saudi Arabia's domestic payment network.
These mada co-badged debit cards are supported:
  • Visa and mada
  • Mastercard and mada
mada co-badged debit cards are processed as follows:
  • Only domestic processing is supported in Saudi Arabia.
  • Transactions are sent directly to the Saudi Arabia Monetary Authority (SAMA) for processing.
  • Payer authentication is supported. Visa Secure is supported for co-badged Visa and mada cards. Mastercard Identity Check is supported for co-badged Mastercard and mada cards.
  • For acquirers, the card type is identified as MD.
  • In reports, the card type is identified as either Visa or Mastercard.
  • Dual-message processing is not supported. Only single-message processing is supported.

Co-Branded Cards

Co-branded cards are credit cards that are branded with a merchant's logo, brand, or other identifier as well as the payment network logo. These cards are not limited for use at the branded merchant and can be used at any merchant that accepts credit cards.

Credit Cards

Cardholders use credit cards to borrow money from issuing banks to pay for goods and services offered by merchants that accept credit cards.

Debit Cards

A debit card is linked to a cardholder's checking account. A merchant who accepts the debit card can deduct funds directly from the account.

Prepaid Cards

Prepaid cards enable cardholders to pay for goods and services using money stored directly on the card.

Private Label Cards

Private label cards are issued by private companies. They enable cardholders to borrow money to pay for goods exclusively at the issuing company’s stores.

Quasi-Cash

Quasi-cash transactions involve instruments that are directly convertible to cash such as web wallets, travelers checks, cryptocurrency, and lottery tickets.

Transaction Types

This topic provides information about transaction types that are supported by your processor, such as card-present, card-not-present, and international transactions.

Card-Not-Present Transactions

When a customer provides a card number, but the card and the customer are not physically present at the merchant's location, the purchase is known as a
card-not-present transaction
. Typical card-not-present transactions are internet and phone transactions. Card-not-present transactions pose an additional level of risk to your business because the customer’s identification cannot be verified. You can reduce that risk by using features such as the Address Verification System (AVS) and Card Verification Numbers (CVNs). The AVS and CVNs provide additional protection from fraud by verifying the validity of the customer’s information and notifying you when discrepancies occur.

Card-Present Transactions

When a customer uses a card that is physically present in a retail environment, the purchase is known as a
card-present transaction
.

Authorizations with Card Verification Numbers

Card verification numbers (CVNs) are a required feature for the authorization service.
The CVN is printed on a payment card, and only the cardholder can access it. The CVN is used in card-not-present transactions as a verification feature. Using the CVN helps reduce the risk of fraud.
CVNs are not included in payment card track data and cannot be obtained from a card swipe, tap, or dip.
CVNs must not be stored after authorization.
In Europe, Visa mandates that you not include a CVN for mail-order transactions and not record a CVN on any physical format such as a mail-order form.

CVN Locations and Terminology

For most cards, the CVN is a three-digit number printed on the back of the card, to the right of the signature field.
For American Express, the CVN is a four-digit number printed on the front of the card above the card number.

Figure:

CVN Locations

                    of an American Express card.
Each payment card company has its own name for the CVN value:
  • American Express and Discover call it the
    Card Identification Number
    (CID).
  • JCB calls it the
    Card Authentication Value
    (CAV2).
  • Mastercard calls it the
    Card Validation Code
    (CVC2).
  • Visa calls it the
    Card Verification Value
    (CVV2).

International Transactions

Consider compliance and merchant remittance funding when processing international transactions.

Compliance

Accepting payments from a country other than your own requires that you observe the processing rules and practices of the payment systems in that country. This list describes areas of compliance that are especially important:
  • Merchant descriptor requirements—A merchant descriptor communicates merchant information to customers to remind them of the circumstances that triggered a payment. Merchant descriptors reduce the possibility of a chargeback. Accordingly, the merchant descriptor displayed on a customer’s statement should be a close match to the name on your website. It is not good practice to consolidate multiple websites into a single merchant account and use a generic descriptor that more-or-less covers all offerings.
  • Excessive chargebacks—To prevent an excessive number of chargebacks, you must maintain good customer support, rapid problem resolution, a high level of customer satisfaction, and transaction management processes that minimize fraudulent transactions. When payment card chargebacks become excessive, you must change business processes to reduce chargebacks. If chargebacks are not reduced to a satisfactory level, your account can be terminated.

Merchant Remittance Funding

You can request that the transaction proceeds be converted to another currency. Currency conversion uses a foreign exchange rate to calculate the conversion to the requested currency. The foreign exchange rate might be explicitly stated as a rate or implicitly stated as a transaction amount. The funded amount and can vary from day to day. The foreign exchange rate might also include an increase for the foreign exchange risk, sales commissions, and handling costs.

Token Management Service

The
Token Management Service
(
TMS
) tokenizes, securely stores, and manages customer and payment data.
TMS
enables you to: 
  • Securely store a customer's payment details and their billing and shipping addresses.
  • Create a network token of a customer's payment card.
TMS
simplifies your PCI DSS compliance.
TMS
passes back to you tokens that represent this data. You then store these tokens in your environment and databases instead of customer payment details.
TMS
Token Types
  • Customer — Stores the buyer’s email address and the merchant's account ID for that buyer plus any other custom fields.
  • Shipping Address — Stores a shipping address for a specific customer.
  • Instrument Identifier — Stores either a payment card number or a bank account number and routing number
    This resource creates either: 
    • An Instrument Identifier token using details of a payment card or an ACH bank account.
    • A payment network token using the details of a payment card; also uses the card expiration date and billing address, which are pass-through only fields.
  • Payment Instrument — Stores a Payment Instrument using an Instrument Identifier token. It does not store the card number and cannot exist without an associated Instrument Identifier. It stores:
    • Card expiration date
    • Billing address
    You can also choose to store this information yourself instead and store only the card number or bank account and routing number in an Instrument Identifier object.
  • Customer Payment Instrument — Creates and stores a payment instrument for a specific customer ID and an Instrument Identifier token.
TMS
Features
  • Create, retrieve, update, and delete tokens.
  • Set a default payment instrument and shipping address for a customer.
  • Process follow-on payment transactions with token IDs.
  • Create and update tokens through bundled payment transactions.
Due to mandates from the Reserve Bank of India, Indian merchants cannot store personal account numbers (PAN). Use network tokens instead. For more information on network tokens, see the Network Tokenization section of the
Token Management Service
Guide.

Payment Services

Various services are involved in processing
payments.
These services enable customers to purchase goods and services. They also enable merchants to receive payments from customer accounts, to provide refunds, and to void transactions.

Authorizations

An authorization confirms that
a payment
card account holds enough funds to pay for a purchase. Authorizations can be made online or offline.

Online Authorizations

Online authorizations provide immediate confirmation of funds availability. The customer's financial institution also reduces the amount of credit available in the customer's account, setting aside the authorized funds for the merchant to capture at a later time. Authorizations for most payment cards are processed online. Typically, it is safe to start fulfilling the order when you receive an authorization confirmation.
An
online authorization confirmation and the subsequent hold on funds expire after a specific length of time. Therefore it is important to capture funds in a timely manner. The issuing bank sets the expiration time interval, but most authorizations expire within
5 to
7 days.
The issuing bank does not inform
Cybersource
when an authorization confirmation expires. By default, the authorization information for each transaction remains in the
Cybersource
database for 180 days after the authorization date. To capture an authorization that expired with the issuing bank, you can resubmit the authorization request.

Offline Authorizations

Online transactions require an internet connection. In situations where the internet is not available, for example, due to an outage, merchants can continue to take credit card payments using offline transactions. An offline authorization is an authorization request for which you do not receive an immediate confirmation about the availability of funds.
Offline authorizations have a higher level of risk than online transactions because they do not confirm funds availability or set aside the funds for later capture. Further, it can take up to 5 days to receive payment confirmations for offline transactions. To mitigate this risk, merchants may choose to fulfill orders only after receiving payment confirmation.

Pre-Authorizations

A pre-authorization enables you to authorize a payment when the final amount is unknown. It is typically used for lodging, auto rental, e-commerce, and restaurant transactions.
For a pre-authorization:
  • The authorization amount must be greater than zero.
  • The authorization must be submitted for capture within 30 calendar days of its request.
  • When you do not capture the authorization, you must reverse it.
    In the U.S., Canada, Latin America, and Asia Pacific, Mastercard charges an additional fee for a pre-authorization that is not captured and not reversed.
    In Europe, Russia, Middle East, and Africa, Mastercard charges fees for all pre-authorizations.
  • Chargeback protection is in effect for 30 days after the authorization.

Payment Network Token Authorizations

You can integrate authorizations with payment network tokens into your existing order management system. For an incremental authorization, you do not need to include any payment network tokenization fields in the authorization request because
Cybersource
obtains the payment network tokenization information from the original authorization request.

Authorization Workflow

This image and description show the authorization workflow:
  1. The customer purchases goods or services from the merchant using a payment card.
  2. You send an authorization request over secure internet connection to
    Cybersource
    . When the customer buys a digitally delivered product or service, you can request both the authorization and the capture at the same time. When the customer buys a physically fulfilled product, do not request the capture until you ship the product.
  3. Cybersource
    validates the order information then contacts your payment processor and requests authorization.
  4. The processor sends the transaction to the payment card company, which routes it to the issuing bank for the customer's payment card. Some card companies, including Discover
    and American Express
    , act as their own issuing banks.
  5. The issuing bank approves or declines the request.
    • If funds are available, the issuing bank reserves the amount of the authorization request and returns an authorization approval to
      Cybersource
      .
    • If the issuing bank denies the request, it returns an authorization denial to
      Cybersource
      .
  6. Cybersource
    runs its own tests then tells you whether the authorization succeeded.

Sale

A sale is a bundled authorization and capture. Some processors and acquirers require a sale transaction instead of using separate authorization and capture requests. For other processors and acquirers, you can request a sale instead of a separate authorization and capture when you provide the goods or services immediately after taking an order.
There are two types of sale processing: dual-message processing and single-message processing.

Dual-Message Processing

Dual-message processing is a two-step process. The authorization is processed first. If the authorization is successful, the capture is processed immediately afterward. The response includes the authorization and the capture information. If the authorization is declined, the capture is not processed, and the response message includes only the authorization information.

Partial Authorizations

All debit and prepaid card processors as well as a limited number of credit card processors support partial authorizations when dual-message processing is in place.
When partial authorization is enabled, the issuing financial institution can approve a partial amount when the balance on the card is less than the requested amount. When a partial amount is authorized, the capture is not processed. The merchant can then use a second card to cover the balance, adjust the total cost, or void the transaction.

Single-Message Processing

Single-message processing treats the authorization and capture as a single transaction. There are important differences between dual-message processing and single-message processing:
  • Single-message processing treats the request as a full-financial transaction, and with a successful transaction, funds are immediately transferred from the customer account to the merchant account.
  • Authorization and capture amounts must be the same.
  • Some features cannot be used with single-message processing.

Authorization Reversals

The authorization reversal service releases the hold that an authorization placed on a customer’s payment card funds.
Each card-issuing financial institution has its own rules for deciding whether an authorization reversal succeeds or fails. When a reversal fails, contact the card-issuing financial institution to learn whether there is a different way to reverse the authorization.
If your processor supports authorization reversal after void (ARAV), you can reverse an authorization after you void the associated capture. If your processor does not support ARAV, you can use the authorization reversal service only for an authorization that has not been captured and settled.
An authorization reversal is a follow-on transaction that uses the request ID returned from an authorization. The main purpose of a follow-on transaction is to link two transactions. The request ID links the follow-on transaction to the original transaction. The authorization request ID is used to look up the customer’s billing and account information in the
Cybersource
database. You are not required to include those fields in the full authorization reversal request. The original transaction and follow-on transaction are linked in the database and in
the
Business Center
.
For processors that support debit cards and prepaid cards, the full authorization reversal service works for debit cards and prepaid cards in addition to credit cards.
You cannot perform an authorization reversal if a transaction is in a review state, which can occur if you use a fraud management service. You must reject the transaction prior to authorization reversal. For more information, see the fraud management documentation in
the
Business Center
.

Automatic Partial Authorization Reversals

Automatic partial authorization reversals are supported for:
  • Credit cards
  • Debit cards and prepaid cards.
  • Quasi-cash.
If the capture amount is less than the authorization amount,
Cybersource
automatically performs a partial authorization reversal before it sends the capture request to the processor. The results of a successful partial authorization reversal are:
  • The capture amount matches the new authorization amount at the payment card company.
  • The hold on the unused credit card funds might be released. The issuing bank decides whether or not to release the hold on unused funds.
    Not all issuers act on a request for a partial authorization reversal. Therefore,
    Cybersource
    cannot guarantee that the funds will be released.

Captures

A capture is a follow-on transaction to an authorization. It is used to transfer the authorized funds from the customer's account to the merchant account. To link the authorization transaction to the capture transaction, you include a request ID in your capture request. This request ID is returned to you in the authorization response.
Captures are typically not performed in real time. They are placed in a batch file and sent to the processor, and the processor settles all of the captures at one time. In most cases, these batch files are sent and processed outside of the merchant's business hours. It usually takes 2 to 4 days for the acquiring financial institution to deposit the funds into the merchant account.
When fulfilling only part of a customer’s order, do not capture the full amount of the authorization. Capture only the cost of the delivered items. When you deliver the remaining items, request a new authorization, and then capture the new authorization.
It is not possible to perform a capture if a transaction is in a review state, which can occur if you use a fraud management service. You must accept the transaction prior to capture. For more information, see the fraud management documentation in
the
Business Center
.

Capture Workflow

The capture workflow begins when you send a request for a capture.
  1. The merchant sends a request for a capture to
    Cybersource
    .
  2. For online captures,
    Cybersource
    validates the order information then sends an online capture to the payment processor.
    For offline captures,
    Cybersource
    stores the capture request in a batch file and sends the batch file to the payment processor after midnight.
  3. The processor validates the request and forwards it to the issuing bank.
  4. The issuing bank transfers funds to the acquiring bank.
The payment processor does not notify
Cybersource
that the money has been transferred. To ensure that all captures are processed correctly, you should reconcile your capture requests with the capture reports from your processor.

Credits

Credits are payment refunds from a merchant to the cardholder after a cardholder pays for a product or service and that payment is captured by the merchant. When a credit request is successful, the issuer transfers funds from the merchant bank (acquirer) account to the customer's account. It typically takes 2 to 4 days for the acquirer to transfer funds from your merchant account.
You should carefully control access to the credit service. Do not request this service directly from your customer interface. Instead, incorporate this service as part of your customer service process. This process reduces the potential for fraudulent transactions.
There are two basic types of credits:
follow-on credits
and stand-alone credits.

Follow-On Credits

Follow-on credits, also known as
refunds
, use the capture request ID to link the refund to a specific transaction.
This request ID is returned during the capture request (also known as a
settlement
) and is used in all subsequent refunds associated with the original capture.
The request ID links the transaction to the customer’s billing and account information, so you are not required to include those fields in the credit request.
However, when you combine a request for a refund with a request for another service, such as the tax calculation service, you must provide the customer’s billing and account information.
Unless otherwise specified, refunds must be requested within 180 days of a settlement. You can request multiple refunds against a single capture or sale transaction as long as the total amount does not exceed the original purchase amount. To perform multiple refunds, use the same request ID in each request.

Stand-Alone Credits

Stand-alone credits are not connected to an original transaction. Stand-alone credits do not have a time restriction, and they can be used to issue refunds more than 180 days after a transaction settlement.

Credit Workflow

The credit workflow begins when you send a request for a credit.
A credit does not happen in real time. All of the credit requests for a day are typically placed in a file and sent to the processor as a single
batch
transaction. In most cases, the batch transaction is settled overnight.
  1. The merchant sends a request for a credit to
    Cybersource
    .
  2. For online credits,
    Cybersource
    validates the order information then sends an online credit to the payment processor.
    For offline credits,
    Cybersource
    stores the credit request in a batch file and sends the batch file to the payment processor after midnight.
  3. The processor validates the request and forwards it to the acquiring bank.
  4. The acquiring bank transfers funds to the issuing bank.

Voids

A void cancels a capture or credit request that was submitted but not yet processed by the processor.
Capture and credit requests are usually submitted once a day. A void request is declined when the capture or credit request has already been sent to the processor.
After a void is processed, you cannot credit or capture the funds. You must perform a new transaction to capture or credit the funds. Further, when you void a capture, a hold remains on the authorized funds. If you are not going to re-capture the authorization,
and if your processor supports authorization reversal after void (ARAV),
you should request an authorization reversal to release the hold on the unused funds.
A void uses the capture or credit request ID to link the transactions. The authorization request ID is used to look up the customer’s billing and account information, so there is no need to include those fields in the void request. You cannot perform a follow-on credit against a capture that has been voided.

Debit and Prepaid Card Payments

Debit cards are linked to a cardholder's checking account. A merchant who accepts the debit card can deduct funds directly from the linked cardholder's account.
You can process debit cards using these services:
  • Credit card services
  • PIN debit services
  • Partial authorizations, which are a special feature available for debit cards
  • Balance inquiries, which are a special feature available for debit cards

Requirements

In Canada, to process domestic debit transactions on 
Visa Platform Connect
 with Mastercard, you must contact customer support to have your account configured for this feature.
When using the Simple Order API in XML format, partial authorizations or balance responses require the XML schema version 1.52 or later.

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:
    ccAuthReply_enhancedDataEnabled
  • Capture:
    ccCaptureReply_enhancedDataEnabled
  • Credit:
    ccCreditReply_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.

Interchange Optimization

Interchange fees are per-transaction transfer fees charged by your acquirer. The fee amount is based in part on the transaction amount that the acquirer submits to the payment network for clearing and settlement. Interchange optimization can help to reduce these fees for card-present transactions.

Payment Cards Supported with Interchange Optimization

  • Mastercard
  • Visa

Automatic Authorizations

Interchange optimization works by automatically performing additional authorization transactions for two types of card-not-present scenarios.
Automatic Authorization Refresh
If a capture request occurs more than 6 days after the date of the original authorization, the processor automatically obtains a fresh authorization for the capture amount.
Automatic Partial Authorization Reversal
If the capture does not need a fresh authorization but the capture amount is less than the authorization amount, the processor automatically performs a partial authorization reversal. The reversal releases the hold on unused credit card funds and ensures that the settlement amount matches the authorization amount.

How Interchange Optimization Transactions are Tracked

To find out when the processor performed automatic authorizations, see the daily processor report.

Limitations

  • Interchange optimization does not apply to transactions in which the payment card is present at the merchant's physical place of business.
  • Interchange optimization is not supported with incremental authorizations.

Requirement

Contact customer support to enable interchange optimization for your account.

Japanese Payment Options

Japanese payment options (JPO) extend the
Cybersource
payment card processing features to support payment methods used only in Japan. Japanese issuers, cardholders, merchants, and acquirers recognize payment methods that clarify the nature of a payment. JPO provides for more fine-grained identification of one-time payments and installment payments. You can offer your customers JPO payment methods that they select at the time of purchase.
JPO supports these payment methods:
  • Single payment
  • Bonus payment
  • Installment payment
  • Revolving payment
  • Combination of bonus payment and installment payment
Requests with Japanese payment options are accepted independently of your agreements with acquirers. When you submit a request with one of these payment options but do not have the necessary contracts and agreements in place, an error might not occur until the acquirer processes the settlement file.
For more information about the Japanese payment options, contact Customer Support of
Cybersource
KK (Japan).

Payment Cards Supported with JPO

JPO is supported for the Sumitomo Mitsui Card Co. acquirer with transactions that use Visa payment cards issued in Japan.

Services Supported with JPO

Authorization service.

Requirements

  • You have signed a contract with your acquirer.
  • You have contacted your account provider for details about contracts and funding cycles. The funding cycle could differ when using JPO.
  • Card holders who want to use JPO have signed a contract with an issuing bank.
  • You have confirmed payment option availability with your account provider and card holder before implementing one of these payment options.

Mastercard Expert Monitoring Solutions

Mastercard Expert Monitoring Solutions provides a predictive, behavior-based fraud score in real time during authorizations for card-not-present transactions. The score indicates the likelihood that the requested transaction is fraudulent and the type of fraud that is suspected.
To assign the fraud score for a transaction, Mastercard compares the customer’s transaction data to their transaction behavior history and to a regional card-not-present fraud detection model. The resulting score is returned in the body of the response message.

Limitations

This feature is supported on Mastercard Payment cards issued in the US only.
This feature is supported with
Visa Platform Connect
only.

Requirement

Contact customer support to enable Mastercard Expert Monitoring Solutions for your account.
After this feature is enabled for your account, Mastercard returns a fraud score for all your card-not-present authorization requests for Mastercard payment cards issued in the US.

Payer Authentication

Payer authentication is run before a transaction is submitted for authorization. Most of the time payer authentication is bundled with authorization so that after payer authentication happens, the transaction is automatically submitted for authorization. Payer authentication and authorization can be configured to occur as separate operations. This section shows you how to run payer authentication as a separate process and pass the payer authentication data when seeking authorization for a transaction.
Payer authentication consists of a two-step verification process that adds an extra layer of fraud protection during the payment process. During transactions, the transaction device, location, past purchasing habits, and other factors are analyzed for indications of fraud. This process collects customer data during the transaction from at least two of these three categories:
  • Something you have
    : A payment card or a payment card number
  • Something you know
    : A password or pin
  • Something you are
    : Facial recognition or fingerprint
Each of these payment card companies has its own payer authentication product:
  • American Express
    : SafeKey
  • Discover
    : ProtectBuy
  • JCB
    : J/Secure
  • Mastercard
    : Identity Check
  • Visa
    : Visa Secure
Payer authentication can be used to satisfy the Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) requirement of the Payment Services Directive (PSD2). SCA applies to the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom. SCA requires banks to perform additional checks when customers make payments to confirm their identity.

Relaxed Requirements for Address Data and Expiration Date in Payment Transactions

With relaxed requirements for address data and the expiration date, not all standard payment request fields are required. It is your responsibility to determine whether your account is enabled to use this feature and which fields are required.

Split Shipments

Split shipments enable you to split an order into multiple shipments with multiple captures. You can use this feature when a customer orders a product that is not yet available, or when one or some products are available but not all. You are able to request multiple partial captures for one authorization, multiple authorizations and one capture, or an authorization and a sale.
Cybersource
provides the split shipment services for authorizations and captures. There are three scenarios and actions you can take:
  • Multiple authorizations—Request more than one authorizations; when the order is placed for the unavailable product and after the product becomes available to ship.
  • Multiple partial captures—Request an authorization, and then request multiple partial captures for the amount of the products you ship. When the remaining product becomes available, ship it and request another capture.
  • Multiple authorizations with multiple partial captures—Request more than one authorizations and captures when all the products in the order are not available for immediate shipment. After the other products become available, request another authorization, and then a capture when you ship the remaining product.

How Split Shipments Transactions are Linked

All transactions for a split shipment are linked together in the
Business Center
and in reports. When you split an order into multiple shipments with multiple partial captures,
Cybersource
requests the additional authorizations for you.

Obtaining the Status of a System-Generated Authorization

A system-generated authorization is not performed in real time. The response message that you receive indicates that the request was received, not whether it was approved or declined.
A system-generated authorization can be declined for the same reasons that a regular authorization can be declined.
Cybersource
recommends you use one of following methods to obtain the status of the system-generated authorization request before shipping the product:
  • Business Center
    —Use the capture request ID to search for the follow-on capture. The details for all related transactions are displayed on the
    Transaction Details
    page. It can take a maximum of 6 hours for the status of the system-generated authorization request to be available.
  • Transaction Detail API—You must use version 1.3 or later of the report and include the parameter
    includeExtendedDetail
    in your query. It can take a maximum of 6 hours for the status of the system-generated authorization request to be available.
  • Transaction Exception Detail Report—
    Cybersource
    recommends you use this report on a daily basis to identify transactions that were declined.

Additional Authorizations

When you need an additional authorization for an order, you can use the
link-to-request
field to link follow-on authorizations to the original authorization in addition to the basic fields required for every authorization request. The follow-on authorization is linked to the original authorization in the
Business Center
and in reports. The captures for these authorizations are also linked to the original authorization in the
Business Center
and in reports.
For an additional authorization on a processor that supports merchant-initiated transactions, the authorization request must include the subsequent authorization fields that are required for merchant-initiated transactions.

Additional Captures

When you need an additional capture for an order,
Cybersource
performs a system-generated authorization for additional capture requests using the payment data from the original authorization. The system-generated authorization is linked to the original authorization in the
Business Center
and in reports. The captures are linked to the authorizations in the
Business Center
and in reports through the request IDs as with any capture.

Introduction to Credentialed Transactions

Credentialed transactions are transactions that involve either storing a customer's payment credentials for future transactions or using a customer's already stored payment credentials. When processing a credentialed transaction, you must indicate the type of credentialed transaction and the reason for the transaction. Credentialed transactions are also known as
credential-on-file
(COF) transactions.
There are several types of credentialed transactions:
  • Customer-Initiated Transactions (CITs):
    Any transaction a customer is actively participating in such as making a card-present payment, completing an online checkout, or by using a stored credential. CIT transactions can store the customer's credentials in your system for future CITs or merchant-initiated transactions.
  • Merchant-Initiated Transactions (MITs):
    Any transaction a merchant initiates without the customer's participation such as an industry practice transaction or a standing instruction transaction.
    • Industry Practice Transactions:
      MITs that are performed as subsequent transactions to a CIT because the initial transaction could not be completed in one transaction. Not every industry practice transaction involves a stored credential. If a stored credential is used only for one transaction, that transaction is not considered a credentialed transaction.
    • Standing Instruction Transactions:
      MITs that are performed to follow agreed-upon instructions from the customer for the provision of goods and services.

Figure:

MIT Types

Supported Services

These are the supported merchant-initiated services:
  • Delayed Authorization
  • Incremental Transactions
  • Installment Transactions
  • Mastercard Standing Order Transactions
  • Mastercard Subscription Transactions
  • No-Show Transactions
  • Reauthorization
  • Recurring Transactions
  • Resubmission
  • Unscheduled Credentials-on-File Transactions
The service determines the reason for the credentialed transaction.

Testing the Payment Services

To ensure that requests are processed correctly, you must test the basic success and error conditions for each service you plan to use.

Requirements for Testing

Before you can test, contact customer support to activate the credit card services and configure your account for testing. You must also contact your processor to set up your processor account.
When building your connection to the
Cybersource
payment gateway, ensure that you have implemented controls to prevent card testing or card enumeration attacks on your platform.
For more information, see the best practices guide.
When we detect suspicious transaction activity associated with your merchant ID, including a card testing or card enumeration attack,
Cybersource
reserves the right to enable fraud management tools on your behalf in order to mitigate the attack. The fraud team might also implement internal controls to mitigate attack activity. These controls block traffic that is perceived as fraudulent. Additionally, if you are using one of our fraud tools and experience a significant attack, our internal team might modify or add rules to your configuration to help prevent the attack and minimize the threat to our infrastructure. However, any actions taken by
Cybersource
would not replace the need for you to follow industry standard best practices to protect your systems, servers, and platforms.
Follow these requirements when you test your system:
  • Use your regular merchant ID.
  • Use a real combination for the city, state, and postal code.
  • Use a real combination for the area code and telephone number.
  • Use a nonexistent account and domain name for the customer’s email address.
  • Simple Order API test server:
    https://ics2wstesta.ic3.com/commerce/1.x/transactionProcessor

Test Card Numbers

Use these payment card numbers to test the authorization, capture, and credit services. Remove the spaces from the test card numbers when sending them to the test system. Do not use real payment card numbers. To test card types that are not included in the list, use an account number that is in the card’s BIN range. For best results, try each test with a different service request and with different test payment card numbers.
The test card numbers that are provided are formatted with Xs for zeroes in the card number. When testing with the card numbers, replace each X with a 0 (zero).

Using Amounts to Simulate Errors

You can simulate error messages by requesting authorization, capture, or credit services with specific amounts that trigger the error messages. These triggers work only on the test server, not on the production server.
Each payment processor uses its own error messages.
For more information, see: Simple Order API Testing Information.

Test American Express Card Verification

Before using CVN with American Express, it is strongly recommended that you follow these steps:
  1. Contact customer support to have your account configured for CVN. Until you do this, you will receive a
    1
    in the
    ccAuthReply_cvCode
    response field.
  2. Test your system in production using a small currency amount, such as one currency unit. Instead of using the test account numbers, use a real payment card account number, and send an incorrect CVN in the request for authorization. The card should be refused and the request declined.

Authorizations with Line Items

This section shows you how to process an authorization with line items.
The main difference between a basic authorization and an authorization that includes line items is that the
purchaseTotals_grandTotalAmount
field, which is included in a basic authorization, is substituted with one or more line items that are included in
the
item_#_
fields, starting with the
item_0_
fields
.

Fields Specific to this Use Case

These
fields
are required for each line item that you use:
item_#_unitPrice
item_#_quantity
item_#_productCode
item_#_productSKU
Optional when
item_#_productCode
is set to
default
,
shipping_only
,
handling_only
, or
shipping_and_handling
item_#_productName
Optional when
item_#_productCode
is set to
default
,
shipping_only
,
handling_only
, or
shipping_and_handling
At a minimum, you must include the
item_#_unitPrice
field in order to include a line item in an authorization. When this field is the only field included in the authorization, the system sets:
  • item_#_productCode
    :
    default
  • item_#_quantity
    :
    1
For example, these three line items are valid.
item_0_unitPrice=10.00 item_1_unitPrice=5.99 item_1_quantity=3 item_1_productCode=shipping_only item_2_unitPrice=29.99 item_2_quantity=3 item_2_productCode=electronic_good item_2_productSKU=12384569 item_2_productName=receiver

Endpoint

Set the
ccAuthService_run
field to
true
.
Send the request to
https://ics2ws.ic3.com/commerce/1.x/transactionProcessor

Authorizations with a Card Verification Number

This section shows you how to process an authorization with a Card Verification Number (CVN).

CVN Results

The response includes a raw response code and a mapped response code:
  • The raw response code is the value returned by the processor. This value is returned in the
    ccAuthReply_cvCodeRaw
    field. Use this value only for debugging purposes; do not use it to determine the card verification response.
  • The mapped response code is the pre-defined value that corresponds to the raw response code. This value is returned in the
    ccAuthReply_cvCode
    field.
Even when the CVN does not match the expected value, the issuing bank might still authorize the transaction. You will receive a CVN decline, but you can still capture the transaction because it has been authorized by the bank. However, you must review the order to ensure that it is legitimate.
Settling authorizations that fail the CVN check might have an impact on the fees charged by your bank. Contact your bank for details about how card verification management might affect your discount rate.
When a CVN decline is received for the authorization in a sale request, the capture request is not processed unless you set the
businessRules_ignoreCVResult
field to
true
.
CVN Results for American Express
A value of
1
in the
ccAuthReply_cvCode
field indicates that your account is not configured to use card verification. Contact customer support to have your account enabled for this feature.
CVN Results for Discover
When the CVN does not match, Discover refuses the card and the request is declined. The reply message does not include the
ccAuthReply_cvCode
field, which indicates that the CVN failed.
CVN Results for Visa and Mastercard
A CVN code of
D
or
N
causes the request to be declined with a reason code value of
230
. You can still capture the transaction, but you must review the order to ensure that it is legitimate.
Cybersource
, not the issuer, assigns the CVN decline to the authorization. You can capture any authorization that has a valid authorization code from the issuer, even when the request receives a CVN decline.
When the issuer does not authorize the transaction and the CVN does not match, the request is declined because the card is refused. You cannot capture the transaction.

Marketplace Authorizations with Foreign Retailers

Visa Platform Connect
requires marketplaces to identify foreign retail transactions when the marketplace and issuer are in the European Economic Area (EEA), the U.K., and Gibraltar and the retailer is in a different country. For marketplace transactions, the marketplace is the merchant and the retailer is the sub-merchant. Marketplace foreign retail transactions are identified in the
Business Center
on the transactions details page.
This feature is intended for captures. You can include this information in an authorization, but this is not the preferred method. The capture request data overrides the authorization request data.

These fields are required for this use case:

Authorizations with Strong Customer Authentication Exemption

This section shows you how to process an authorization with a strong customer authentication (SCA) exemption.
You can use SCA exemptions to streamline the payment process. SCA exemptions are part of the European second Payment Services Directive (PSD2) and allow certain types of low-risk transactions to bypass additional authentication steps while still remaining compliant with PSD2. You can choose which exemption can be applied to a transaction, but the card-issuing bank actually grants an SCA exemption during card authentication.
You can process an authorization with two types of SCA exemptions:
  • Exemption on Authorization
    : Send an authorization without payer authentication and request an SCA exemption on the authorization. If it is not approved, you may be required to request further authentication upon retry.
  • Exemption on Authentication
    : Request an SCA exemption during payer authentication and if successful, send an authorization including the SCA exemption details.
Depending on your processor, use one of these exemption fields:
If you send more than one SCA exemption field with a single authentication, the transaction is denied.
  • Authentication Outage
    : Payer authentication is not available for this transaction due to a system outage.
  • B2B Corporate Card
    : Payment cards specifically for business-to-business transactions are exempt.
  • Delegated Authentication
    : Payer authentication was performed outside of the authorization workflow.
  • Follow-On Installment Payment
    : Installment payments of a fixed amount are exempt after the first transaction.
  • Follow-On Recurring Payment
    : Recurring payments of a fixed amount are exempt after the first transaction.
  • Low Risk
    : The average fraud levels associated with this transaction are considered low.
  • Low Value
    : The transaction value does not warrant SCA.
  • Merchant Initiated Transactions
    : As follow-on transactions, merchant-initiated transactions are exempt.
  • Stored Credential Transaction
    : Credentials are authenticated before storing, so stored credential transactions are exempt.
  • Trusted Merchant
    : Merchants registered as trusted beneficiaries.

Fields Specific to the Strong Customer Authentication Exemptions

Use one of these fields to request an SCA exemption:

Pre-Authorizations

This section provides the information you need in order to process a pre-authorization.
A pre-authorization enables you to authorize a payment when the final amount is unknown. It is typically used for lodging, auto rental, e-commerce, and restaurant transactions.
For a pre-authorization:
  • The authorization amount must be greater than zero.
  • The authorization must be submitted for capture within 30 calendar days of its request.
  • When you do not capture the authorization, you must reverse it.
    In the U.S., Canada, Latin America, and Asia Pacific, Mastercard charges an additional fee for a pre-authorization that is not captured and not reversed.
    In Europe, Russia, Middle East, and Africa, Mastercard charges fees for all pre-authorizations.
  • Chargeback protection is in effect for 30 days after the authorization.

Forced Captures

This feature allows merchants to process authorizations obtained through an organization other than
Cybersource
. For example, a merchant might call their processor to request a manual authorization, at which point they can request a forced capture of the authorization.
A manual authorization cannot be captured for more than the original authorization amount, and the authorization expires after seven days.

Airline Data Processing

This section describes how to process airline payments.

Requirement

When you are ready to go live with airline data processing, contact
Cybersource
Customer Support to have your account configured to process airline data. If your account is not enabled, and you try to send airline transactions, you will receive an error for invalid data.

Related Information

  • See Airline Data for information about and requirements for processing payments that include airline data.
  • See Airline Data Reference Information for a list and description of the different document type and ancillary service category codes that are used when processing payments that include airline data.

Airline Travel Legs

Some processors require travel legs in the API service request, even for direct flights. This section describes how to successfully include travel legs in an API request.

Using Travel Legs

To include travel legs in an airline transaction, include one or more
airlineData_leg_#_
fields, starting with the
airlineData_leg_0_
fields.
Direct flights only use the
airlineData_leg_0_
fields.
For multiple leg trips, the
airlineData_leg_#_
fields must start at 0, and you must use consecutive numbers for the additional legs.
If you skip a number,
Cybersource
ignores the legs that follow the skipped number.
For example, these three travel legs are valid:
<leg id="0"> <carrierCode>XX</carrierCode> </leg> <leg id="1"> <carrierCode>XZ</carrierCode> </leg> <leg id="2"> <carrierCode>XX</carrier<code> </leg>

Travel Leg Limitations

Some processors limit the number of travel legs for each trip based on the card type.

Providing Payer Authentication Information for Authorization

The values that are returned from payer authentication must be provided when seeking authorization for the transaction. Authentication information that is not included when considering authorization may cause the transaction to be refused or downgraded and prevent the normal liability shift from occurring.
The level of security in payer authentication is denoted by the two digit Electronic Commerce Indicator (ECI) that is assigned to the transaction. These digital values have text equivalents which are assigned to the
e_commerce_indicator
field.
The
American Express,
Diners, Discover, UPI, and Visa card brands use 05, 06, and 07 digit values to express the authentication level for a 3-D Secure transaction.

Relaxed Requirements for Address Data and Expiration Date in Payment Transactions

With relaxed requirements for address data and the expiration date, not all standard payment request fields are required. It is your responsibility to determine whether your account is enabled to use this feature and which fields are required.

Requirements

You must contact customer support in order to enable relaxed requirements for address data and expiration date.

Services

Relaxed requirements for address data and expiration date are supported for these services:
  • Authorization
  • Capture
  • Stand-alone credit
  • Subscription create
  • Subscription update

Relaxed Fields

When relaxed requirements for address data and expiration date are enabled for your
Cybersource
account, and your service request does not include one or more of the fields in the following list, you increase the risk of declined transactions and fraud depending on your location, your processor, and the cardholder's issuing bank.
It is your responsibility to determine whether a field is required for the transaction you are requesting. For example, an issuing bank can decline an authorization request for a recurring transaction with a Visa Europe card if the expiration date is incorrect, invalid, or missing. If you do not provide the correct expiration date for a recurring transaction the authorization request may be declined.
When you include this field in your request, you must also include
card_expirationYear
.
You can submit an expiration date that has expired. This exception does not apply when you combine any of the services listed above with any other service.
This field is required for payment network token transactions and subscription creation requests.
When you include this field in your request, you must also include
card_expirationMonth
.
You can submit an expiration date that has expired. This exception does not apply when you combine any of the services listed above with any other service.
This field is required for payment network token transactions and subscription creation requests.

Split Shipments Processing

Split shipments enable you to split an order into multiple shipments with multiple captures. You can use this feature when a customer orders a product that is not yet available.
Split shipments are not available for Mastercard transactions in the IDR currency on
Visa Platform Connect
.
Multiple partial captures
and
split shipments
are not the same feature. The processor provides the multiple partial captures feature, while
Cybersource
provides the split shipment feature.

Requirements for Using Split Shipments

The requirements for using split shipments are you must use
Visa Platform Connect
and contact customer support to have your account configured for this feature.
A
Visa Platform Connect
account can only be enabled for either the multiple partial captures or split shipments feature, but not both.

Authorizing a Sale for a Product Not Yet Available

When the customer purchases a product that is not yet available, you can request an authorization and a sale. First request an authorization to ensure that funds are available. After the product becomes available, ship the product and request a sale.
Cybersource
then links the follow-on authorization to the first authorization, and then links to the capture request.

Figure:

Authorizing a Sale for a Product not yet Available
Step 1: Requesting an authorization
Request an authorization to ensure that funds are available before the product is available for immediate shipment. The authorization request requires no additional fields or requirements than a basic authorization.
Step 2: Processing a sale
When the product becomes available, ship the product and request a sale. The follow-on authorization requires you to submit a sale request that includes the
requestID
field in addition to the basic fields required for every sale request. The
requestID
field in an authorization request triggers the split-shipment functionality.
Set the field to the value from the
requestID
field from the first authorization’s response.
Field Specific to authorizing a sale for a product not yet available:
First Authorization Response Message:
requestID=SWVdPS5IM
Follow-on Authorization Request:
linkToRequest=SWVdPS5IM
Step 3:
Cybersource
attempts to link the follow-on authorization request to the first authorization
  • If the value is valid, the follow-on authorization is linked to the original authorization in the
    Business Center
    and in reports.
  • If the value is not valid, the follow-on authorization is not linked to the original authorization in the
    Business Center
    and in reports.
Step 4:
Cybersource
links the capture request
  • If the value for the follow-on authorization was valid, all three transactions (first authorization, follow-on authorization, capture) are linked together in the
    Business Center
    and in reports.
  • If the value for the follow-on authorization was not valid, the second authorization and capture are linked to each other in the
    Business Center
    and in reports, but they are not linked to the first authorization.

Processing Two Authorizations and a Capture for Multiple Products

When the customer purchases a product that is not yet available, you can request two authorizations and a capture. First request an authorization to ensure that funds are available, and then ship the available products. After the remaining products become available, request follow-on authorization to ensure funds are still available. Ship the remaining products, and request a capture.
Cybersource
links the follow-on authorization to the first authorization and the capture request to the other transactions.

Figure:

Processing Two Authorizations and a Capture for Multiple Products
Step 1: Requesting an authorization
Request an authorization to ensure that funds are available for one or more of the products that are available for immediate shipment. The authorization request requires no additional fields or requirements than a basic authorization.
Step 2: Requesting a follow-on authorization
After the product becomes available, request a follow-on authorization to ensure that funds are still available. The follow-on authorization request must include the
requestID
field in addition to the basic fields required for every authorization request. The
requestID
field in an authorization request triggers the split shipment functionality.
Set the field to the value from the
requestID
field from the first authorization’s response.
Field specific to requesting a follow-on authorization request:
First Authorization Response Message:

    and in reports.
  • If the value is not valid, the follow-on authorization is not linked to the original authorization in the
    Business Center
    and in reports.
Step 4: Requesting a capture
You ship the product and request a capture. The capture request must include the request ID in addition to the basic fields required as any capture request.
Field Specific to Processing a Capture after a Requesting a Follow-on Authorization:
Follow-on Authorization Response Message:
requestID=sl39cmdSlkJ
Capture Request:
authRequestID=sl39cmdSlkJ
Step 5:
Cybersource
attempts to link the capture request to the other transactions
  • If the
    authRequestID
    value for the capture is valid, all three transactions (first authorization, follow-on authorization, capture) are linked together in the
    Business Center
    and in reports.
  • If the
    authRequestID
    value for the capture is not valid, the follow-on authorization and capture are linked to each other in the
    Business Center
    and in reports, but they are not linked to the first authorization.

Processing an Authorization and Two Captures for Multiple Products

When the customer orders multiple products and one is not available, you must request an authorization to ensure funds are available. You ship the products that are available and request a capture for the amount of the shipped products. When the remaining product becomes available, ship the product and request a follow-on capture for the amount of the product.
Cybersource
performs a system-generated authorization for the follow-on capture request.
Cybersource
then links the capture request. You receive the status of the follow-on capture request and its associated system-generated authorization.

Figure:

Processing an Authorization and Two Captures for Multiple Products
Step 1: Requesting an authorization
Request an authorization to ensure that funds are available for one or more products that are available for immediate shipment. The authorization request requires no additional fields or requirements other than a basic authorization.
Step 2: Requesting a capture
Ship the available product and request a capture while you wait for the remaining product to become available. The capture request requires only the basic fields as any capture request.
Step 3: Requesting a follow-on capture
When the remaining product becomes available, ship it and request a capture for that amount. The capture request requires only the basic fields as any capture request.
Step 4:

Cybersource
processes the capture request as a split shipment request because your account is already enabled for split shipments.
Step 5:
Cybersource
attempts to link the capture request to the other transactions
The capture is linked to the authorizations in the
Business Center
and in reports through the request IDs as with any capture. All four transactions (first authorization, system-generated authorization, first capture, follow-on capture) are linked together in the

Processing Payments Using Credentials

This section provides the information you need in order to process payments using credentials.

Customer-Initiated Transactions with Credentials on File

A customer-initiated transaction (CIT) is a transaction initiated by the customer. There are two types of CITs:
  • Customer transactions during which the credentials are stored for future
    customer
    -initiated transactions.
  • Customer transactions during which the credentials are stored for future
    merchant
    -initiated transactions.
Customers can initiate a CIT at a merchant payment terminal, through an online purchase transaction, or by making a purchase using a previously stored credential. When storing cardholder data for a CIT, you must also include 3-D Secure authentication credentials to ensure that the CIT can successfully process. Authentication credentials can be stored for future use with the card credentials by doing a non-payment authentication (NPA).

Business Center

You can create a new customer-initiated transaction in the
Business Center
by going to the One-Time Payments section and requesting a new authorization. When you have entered the customer's information, you can store the customer's credentials with the customer's permission in the Payment Information section. By doing so, you can perform merchant-initiated transactions for payments that the customer has pre-approved.
For more information on how to perform a MIT in the
Business Center
, see Merchant-Initiated No-Show Transactions with PAN.

Storing Customer Credentials with a CIT and PAN

Before you can perform a merchant-initiated transaction (MIT) or a customer-initiated transaction (CIT) with credentials-on-file (COF), you must store the customer's credentials for later use. Further, before you can store the user's credentials, you must get the customer's consent to store their private information. This is also known as establishing a relationship with the customer.
