Authorizations with Foreign Merchants

Visa mandates marketplaces identify domestic marketplace transactions where the marketplace and issuer are in the same country, but the retailer is in a different country. For marketplaces in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the UK (and Gibraltar), this includes transactions where the marketplace and the issuer are within the EEA, UK, and Gibraltar, but the retailer is not located within the EEA, UK, and Gibraltar. This is flagged using the Foreign Retail Indicator (FRI).
This feature is intended to be used during a settlement. While you can include this information in an authorization, this is not the preferred method.
When you include the
invoiceHeader_merchantDescriptorCountry
and
invoiceHeader_submerchantCountry
fields and the merchant and submerchant are located in separate locations, within the authorization request, the transaction includes the foreign retail indicator flag. However, this flag is only submitted during settlement process and if the same fields are included in the capture request, the capture request will override the information included in the authorization request.

Fields Specific to this Use Case

These fields are required for this use case:
invoiceHeader_merchantDescriptorCountry
If the Merchant country is not submitted, the merchant country associated with the transaction MID will be used.
invoiceHeader_submerchantCountry
If the Merchant country is not submitted, the merchant country associated with the transaction MID will be used.
