Introduction to Payments

This introduction provides the basic information that you will need to successfully process payment transactions. It also provides an overview of the payments industry and provides workflows for each process.
With
Cybersource
 payment services, you can process payment cards (tokenized or non-tokenized), digital payments such as Apple Pay and Google Pay, and customer ID transactions. You can process payments across the globe and across multiple channels with scalability and security.
Cybersource
 supports a large number of payment cards and offers a wide choice of gateways and financial institutions, all through one connection.

Cybersource
 documentation hub to find additional processor-specific versions of this guide and additional technical documentation.

Financial Institutions and Payment Networks

Financial institutions and payment networks enable payment services. 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 acquiring financial institutions and issuing financial institutions. They also develop industry standards, support their brands, and establish fees for acquiring institutions.
Some payment networks, such as Visa, Mastercard, and UnionPay International, 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.

Card Types

You can process payments with these kinds of cards:
  • Credit cards
  • Debit 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.

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.

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.
IMPORTANT
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
Image depicting the location of the CVN on the back of most cards and the front 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. The following 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.

Payment Services

This section describes various services for 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.

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.

Sales

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.

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.

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.
WARNING
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:
refunds
 and stand-alone credits.

Refunds

Refunds, also known as
follow-on credits
, 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. To perform multiple refunds, use the same request ID in each request.

Stand-Alone Credits

Stand-alone credits are not tied 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.

Payment Features

You can apply features to different payment services to enhance the customer payment processing experience. This section includes an overview of these features:

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

Related Information

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:
  • 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.

Token Management Service

The
Token Management Service
 (
TMS
) enables you to replace personally identifiable information (PII), such as the primary account numbers (PANs), with unique tokens. These tokens do not include the PII data, but act as a placeholder for the personal information that would otherwise need to be shared. By using tokens, businesses can provide a secure payment experience, reduce the risk of fraud, and comply with industry consumer security regulations such as PCI-DSS.
TMS
 links tokens across service providers, payment types, and channels for sellers, acquirers, and technology partners.
TMS
 tokenizes, securely stores, and manages the primary account number (PAN), the payment card expiration date,
electronic check details,
and customer data.
TMS
 also enables you to create a network token of a customer's payment card.
IMPORTANT
Due to mandates from the Reserve Bank of India, Indian merchants cannot store PANs. Use network tokenization instead.
You can manage sensitive data securely by creating, retrieving, updating, and deleting tokens through the TMS API.
TMS
 simplifies your PCI DSS compliance.
TMS
 passes tokens back to you that represent this data. You then store these tokens in your environment and databases instead of storing customer payment details.
TMS
 protects sensitive payment information through tokenization and secures and manages customer data using these token types:
  • Customer tokens
  • Instrument identifier tokens
  • Payment instrument tokens
  • Shipping address tokens
These
TMS
 tokens can be used individually, or they can be associated with one customer token:

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

IMPORTANT
Before you can test, you must 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.
IMPORTANT
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.
  • REST API test endpoint:
    POST
    https://apitest.cybersource.com
    /pts/v2/payments

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.

  • UATP—1354 1234 5678 911
  • Visa—4111 1111 1111 1111

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: REST API Testing Guide .

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
    processorInformation.cardVerification.resultCode
     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.

Standard Payment Processing

This section shows you how to process various authorization, capture, credit, and sales transactions.

Declined Authorizations

If an authorization is declined, you can use response categories to help you decide whether to retry or block a declined transaction. These response fields provide additional information:
  • paymentInsightsInformation.responseInsights.category
  • paymentInsightsInformation.responseInsights.categoryCode
Category codes have possible values (such as
01
) each of which corresponds to a category that contains a description.
You cannot retry this category code and category:
  • 01 ISSUER_WILL_NEVER_APPROVE
For these values, you can retry the transaction a maximum of 15 times over a period of 30 days:
  • 02 ISSUER_CANNOT_APPROVE_AT_THIS_TIME
  • 03 ISSUER_CANNOT_APPROVE_WITH_THESE_DETAILS
    : Data quality issue. Revalidate data prior to retrying the transaction.
  • 04 GENERIC_ERROR
  • 97 PAYMENT_INSIGHTS_INTERNAL_ERROR
  • 98 OTHERS
  • 99 PAYMENT_INSIGHTS_RESPONSE_CATEGORY_MATCH_NOT_FOUND

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
orderInformation.amountDetails.totalAmount
 field, which is included in a basic authorization, is substituted with one or more line items that are included in
a
lineItem[]
 array
.

Fields Specific to this Use Case

These
fields
 are required for each line item that you use:
orderInformation.lineItems[].unitPrice
orderInformation.lineItems[].quantity
orderInformation.lineItems[].productCode
orderInformation.lineItems[].productSku
Optional when
item_#_productCode
 is set to
default
,
shipping_only
,
handling_only
, or
shipping_and_handling
orderInformation.lineItems[].productName
Optional when
item_#_productCode
 is set to
default
,
shipping_only
,
handling_only
, or
shipping_and_handling
At a minimum, you must include the
orderInformation.lineItems[].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:
  • orderInformation.lineItems[].productCode
    :
    default
  • orderInformation.lineItems[].quantity
    :
    1
For example, these three line items are valid.
"orderInformation": {

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:
IMPORTANT
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.

Exemption Fields Specific to the Strong Customer Authentication Use Case

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.

Payer Authentication Processing

This section shows you how to process authorizations that use these payer authentication methods:

Related Information

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
processingInformation.commerceIndicator
 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.

The payer authentication response contains other information that needs to be passed on for successful authorization. Be sure to include these fields when requesting a separate authorization:
  • consumerAuthenticationInformation.directoryServerTransactionId
     (Mastercard, Maestro
    , UPI only
    )
  • consumerAuthenticationInformation.eciRaw
  • consumerAuthenticationInformation.paresStatus
  • consumerAuthenticationInformation.paSpecificationVersion

Mastercard Identity Check

Mastercard Identity Check is the authentication service in the Mastercard card network that uses the 3-D Secure protocol in online transactions to authenticate customers at checkout.
Mastercard Identity Check generates a unique, 32-character transaction token, called the account authentication value (AAV) each time a Mastercard Identity Check-enabled account holder makes an online purchase. The AAV binds the account holder to a specific transaction. Mastercard Identity Check transactions use the universal cardholder authentication field (UCAF) as a standard to collect and pass AAV data.
Before implementing payer authentication for Mastercard Identity Check, contact customer support to have your account configured for this feature.

Fields Specific to the Mastercard Identity Check Use Case

These API fields are required specifically for this use case.
consumerAuthenticationInformation. directory ServerTransactionId
Set this field to the transaction ID returned by Mastercard Identity Check during the authentication process.
consumerAuthenticationInformation. paSpecificationVersion
Set this field to the Mastercard Identity Check version returned by Mastercard Identity Check during the authentication process.
consumerAuthenticationInformation. ucafCollectionIndicator
Set to the last digit of the raw ECI value returned from authentication. For example, if ECI=02, this value should be 2.

Visa Secure

Visa Secure is the authentication service in the Visa card network that uses the 3-D Secure protocol to authenticate customers at checkout. This authentication is a two-step process. First, the cardholder is authenticated by 3-D Secure. Then, the transaction is authorized based on the 3-D Secure evaluation. This section explains how to authorize a card payment based on the 3-D Secure evaluation.
Before implementing Visa Secure, contact customer support to have your account configured for this feature.

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.

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.

Storing Customer Credentials with a CIT and
TMS

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

Creating a
TMS
 Token

When sending the initial CIT, you can create a
TMS
 token to store the customer's credentials for the subsequent MITs. To create a
TMS
 token, include the
processingInformation.actionTokenTypes
 field in the authorization request. Set the field to one of these values based on the
TMS
 token type you want to create:
Customer
Customer tokens store one or more customer payment instrument tokens and shipping address tokens.
Including a customer token in subsequent MITs eliminates the need to include billing information, card information, and the previous transaction's ID.
"processingInformation": {
    "actionTokenTypes": [
      "customer"
]
For more information about this
TMS
 token type, see Customer Tokens in the
Token Management Service
 Developer Guide
.
Payment Instrument
Payment instrument tokens store an instrument identifier token, card information, and billing information. Payment instruments are not linked to a customer token. Including a payment instrument in subsequent MITs eliminates the need to include billing information, card information, and the previous transaction's ID.
"processingInformation": {
    "actionTokenTypes": [
      "paymentInstrument"
]
For more information about this
TMS
 token type, see Payment Instrument Token in the
Token Management Service
 Developer Guide
.
Instrument Identifier
Instrument identifier tokens store a PAN. Including an instrument identifier in subsequent MITs eliminates the need to include a PAN and the previous transaction's ID.
"processingInformation": {
    "actionTokenTypes": [
      "instrumentIdentifier"
]
For more information about this TMS token type, see Instrument Identifier Token in the
Token Management Service
 Developer Guide
.
Instrument Identifier, Payment Instrument, and Customer Identifier
You can also create multiple
TMS
 token types in the same authorization. This example includes an instrument identifier, a payment instrument, and a customer token in the same authorization:
 "processingInformation": {
    "actionTokenTypes": [
        "instrumentIdentifier",
        "paymentInstrument",
        "customer"

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.
