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.
