Introduction to Payments

This introduction provides the basic information that you 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.

Visit the 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 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.

Payment Processor and Supported Card Types
Payment Processor	Supported Card Types	Notes
`Worldpay VAP`	Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club, JCB

Card Types

You can process payments with these kinds of cards:

Credit cards

Debit cards

For a list of supported card types, see Payment Processors.

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.

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.

Image depicting the location of the CVN on the back of most cards and the front
of an American Express card. — CVN Locations

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.

Micropayment Authorizations

Micropayments are payments for less than one unit in the transaction’s currency.

For Worldpay VAP, Cybersource supports micropayment authorizations for these payment cards:

American Express

Diners Club (in the US only)

Discover (in the US only)

JCB (in the US only)

Mastercard

Visa

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.

Incremental Authorizations

Incremental authorizations are useful when a customer adds products and services to a purchase. After a successful initial authorization, you can request subsequent authorizations and request one capture for the initial authorization and the incremental authorizations.

The incremental authorization service is not the same as the incremental authorization scenario for a merchant-initiated transaction.

Scenario for the Incremental Authorization Service

This sequence is an example of how incremental authorizations work:

The customer reserves a hotel room for two nights at a cost of 200.00 per night. You request an authorization for 400.00. The authorization request is approved.

The customer orders dinner through room service the first night. You request an incremental authorization of 50.00 for the dinner.

The customer decides to stay an extra night. You request an incremental authorization of 200.00 for the additional night.

The customer uses items from the mini-bar. The cost of the mini-bar items is 50.00. You request an incremental authorization of 50.00.

When the customer checks out, they sign a receipt for 700.00, which is the total of all costs incurred.

You request a capture for 700.00.

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:

The customer purchases goods or services from the merchant using a payment card.

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.

Cybersource validates the order information then contacts your payment processor and requests authorization.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The merchant sends a request for a capture to Cybersource.

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.

The processor validates the request and forwards it to the issuing bank.

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.

The merchant sends a request for a credit to Cybersource.

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.

The processor validates the request and forwards it to the acquiring bank.

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

Least-Cost Routing

Payer Authentication

Processing Payments Using Credentials

Relaxed Requirements for Address Data and Expiration Date in Payment Transactions

Visa Bill Payments

Visa Consumer Bill Payments

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

Related Information

See Standard Payment Processing for information that shows you how to use credit card services.

See Debit and Prepaid Card Processing for information that shows you how to process authorizations that use a debit or prepaid card.

Least-Cost Routing

Least-cost routing (LCR) is an option that offers the lowest routing costs available. LCR uses single-message processing, when it is possible, to move funds in a single, full-financial message. A full-financial message moves funds immediately.

When you request least-cost routing, the processor first determines whether LCR is possible for the transaction. If LCR is possible, the processor uses single-message processing to accomplish LCR. If the transaction is enabled for partial authorization, the processor can process a partial amount instead of the entire requested amount.

Least-cost routing is not supported for all features and services. Some transactions are not supported for single-message processing, either because they are not applicable or because they could create reconciliation problems.

To find out whether the processor used least-cost routing for a transaction, see the daily processor report.

Features Supported with Least-Cost Routing and Single-Message Processing

Address Verification System (AVS)

Balance responses

Card type indicators

Credits

Card verification number (CVN)

Debit cards

Merchandise descriptors

Payer authentication

Related Information

See Least-Cost Routing Processing for information that shows you how to apply least-cost routing.

See Sale for a description of a sales transaction.

See Sale for information that shows you how to process a sale.

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.

Related Information

See the Payer Authentication Developer Guide for more information about payer authentication.

See Payer Authentication Processing for information about how to process payments with payer authentication.

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.

Related Information

See Relaxed Requirements for Address Data and Expiration Date in Payment Transactions for information about how to process payments with relaxed requirements for address data and expiration date.

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.

Supported Services

These are the supported merchant-initiated services:

Installment Transactions

Mastercard Standing Order Transactions

Mastercard Subscription Transactions

Recurring Transactions

Unscheduled Credentials-on-File Transactions

The service determines the reason for the credentialed transaction.

Visa Bill Payments

Visa provides a Bill Payment program that enables customers to use their Visa cards to pay their bills. When you participate in this program, Visa requests that you flag the bill payments and credits so they can be easily identified.

The bill payment indicator is accepted no matter which processor you are using, do not use this indicator if you have not signed up with Visa to participate in the program.

This feature is not the same as the Visa Consumer Bill Payment Service.

Related Information

See Visa Bill Payments Processing for information that shows you how to process Visa Bill Payment transactions.

Visa Consumer Bill Payments

The Visa Consumer Bill Payment Service (CBPS) is an optional service that enables you to provide bill payment services to consumers using a Visa card. Cardholders can pay one or more of their bills in one transaction using a third-party intermediary rather than paying each bill separately. When you request a Visa CBPS authorization, you must include the

invoiceHeader_businessApplicationID

field set to

CB

.

This feature is not the same as Visa Bill Payments.

Supported Service

You can process Visa Consumer Bill Payments using the authorization service.

Requirements

As a Visa CBPS provider you must comply with all Visa rules. For the Visa CBPS rules, see Rule ID# 0030635 of the Visa Rules "Acquirer Responsibilities Related to Consumer Bill Payment Service Providers" at visa-rules-public.pdf.

Before you process Visa CBPS payments, you must:

Contact your acquirer to register your account for the Visa Consumer Bill Pay Service.

Contact Cybersource customer support to have your account configured for this feature.

Related Information

See Visa Consumer Bill Payment Processing for a instructions that show you how to process a Visa Consumer Bill Payment.

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.

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:

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.

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.

Basic Authorizations

This section provides the information you need in order to process a basic authorization.

Endpoint

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:

ccAuthReply_paymentInsightsInformation_responseInsightsCategory

ccAuthReply_paymentInsightsInformation_responseInsightsCategoryCode

These fields are available starting in the XML schema version 1.193.

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.

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

.

Optional Line Item Fields

These fields can be used to provide more line item information. For more information on each field, see the field reference guide:

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.

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.

Final Authorization Indicator

The purpose of this feature is to ensure that unused funds are reversed, so that customer’s funds are available again when an order is not fulfilled.

For an authorization with an amount greater than zero, indicate whether the authorization is a final authorization, a pre-authorization, or an undefined authorization.

You can set a default authorization type in your account. To set the default authorization type in your account, contact customer support.

Chargeback protection is in effect for seven days after the authorization.

Requirements for Final Authorizations

For a final authorization:

The authorization amount must be greater than zero.

The authorization amount must be the final amount that the customer agrees to pay.

The authorization should not be cancelled after it is approved except when a system failure occurs.

The authorization must be submitted for capture within seven calendar days of its request.

The capture amount and currency must be the same as the authorization amount and currency.

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.

Unmarked Authorizations

An authorization is unmarked when the default authorization type is not set in your account and you do not include the

authIndicator

field in the authorization request. To set the default authorization type in your account, contact customer support.

Unmarked authorizations are supported only in the US, Canada, Latin America, and Asia Pacific. They are not supported in Europe, Russia, Middle East, and Africa.

Cybersource does not set a mark or indicator for the type of authorization in the request that is sent to the processor.

Your acquirer processes an unmarked authorization as a final authorization, a preauthorization, or an undefined authorization. Contact your acquirer to learn how they process unmarked authorizations.

Requirements for Unmarked Authorizations

For an unmarked authorization:

The authorization amount must be greater than zero.

The authorization amount can be different from the final transaction amount.

Undefined Authorizations

An authorization is undefined when you set the default authorization type in your account to undefined and do not include the

authIndicator

field in the authorization request. To set the default authorization type in your account, contact customer support.

Undefined authorizations are supported only in the U.S., Canada, Latin America, and Asia Pacific. They are not supported in Europe, Russia, Middle East, and Africa.

Chargeback protection is in effect for seven days after the authorization.

Worldpay VAP: Worldpay VAP sets the indicator. You do not need to send a final authorization indicator when using the Cybersource API.

Requirements for Undefined Authorizations

For an undefined authorization:

The authorization amount must be greater than zero.

The authorization amount can be different from the final transaction amount.

The authorization should not be cancelled after it is approved except when a system failure occurs.

The authorization must be submitted for capture within seven calendar days of its request.

When you do not capture the authorization, you must reverse it; otherwise, Mastercard charges an additional fee for the transaction.

Payer Authentication Processing

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

American Express
: SafeKey

Discover
: ProtectBuy

Mastercard
: Identity Check

Visa
: Visa Secure

Related Information

See the Payer Authentication Developer Guide for details about payer authentication.

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.

Text Values for ECI Values
ECI Value	Meaning	Visa	Diners	Discover	UPI	Amex
05	Authenticated	vbv	pb	dipb	up3ds	aesk
06	Attempted authentication with a cryptogram	vbv_attempted	pb_attempted	dipb_attempted	up3ds_attempted	aesk_attempted
07	Internet, not authenticated	vbv_failure/internet	internet	internet	up3ds_failure/internet	internet

Mastercard and Maestro cards use 00, 01, 02, 06, and 07 digit values to indicate the authentication level of the transaction.

Mastercard/Maestro Text Values for ECI Values
ECI Value	Meaning	Mastercard/Maestro
00	Internet, not authenticated	spa/internet
01	Attempted authentication	spa
02	Authenticated	spa
06	Exemption from authentication or network token without 3‑D Secure	spa
07	Authenticated merchant-initiated transaction	spa

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:

ccAuthService_directoryServerTransactionID

(Mastercard, Maestro

, UPI only

)

ccAuthService_eciRaw

ccAuthService_paresStatus

ccAuthService_paSpecificationVersion

payerAuthEnrollReply_ucafAuthenticationData

(Mastercard/Maestro only)

American Express SafeKey

American Express SafeKey is the authentication service in the American Express card network that uses the 3-D Secure protocol to validate customers at checkout. When you request an authorization using a supported card type and a supported processor, you can include payer authentication data in the request.

While Worldpay VAP normally supports 3-D Secure 2.0 with transactions using American Express payment cards, 3-D Secure is not supported when the American Express transactions involve a network token or use digital payment services such as Apple Pay or Google Pay.

Before implementing payer authentication for American Express SafeKey, contact customer support to have your account configured for this feature.

Fields Specific to the American Express SafeKey Use Case

These API fields are required specifically for this use case.

ccAuthService_cavv: Required when payer authentication is successful.

ccAuthService_commerceIndicator: Set this field to one of these values:

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.

Worldpay VAP supports 3-D Secure 2.0 with Mastercard transactions. Worldpay VAP also supports network tokens and digital payments with Mastercard transactions. However, Worldpay VAP does not support the 3-D Secure 2.0 protocol if used with network tokens or digital payment. Cybersource will decline any transaction on Worldpay VAP that uses 3-D Secure 2.0 and that also involves the use of network tokens or digital payments.

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.

Worldpay VAP supports 3-D Secure 2.0 with Visa transactions. Worldpay VAP also supports network tokens and digital payments with Visa transactions. However, Worldpay VAP does not support the 3-D Secure 2.0 protocol when used with network tokens or digital payment. A 3-D Secure data-only flow that does not require contacting the customer is also supported. A full liability shift is applied if the CAVV data is collected and the ECI is set to

07

. Cybersource will decline any transaction on Worldpay VAP that uses 3-D Secure 2.0 when network tokens or digital payments are involved in the transaction.

Before implementing Visa Secure, contact customer support to have your account configured for this feature.

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.

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.

Installment Payments

An installment payment is a single purchase of goods or services billed to a customer in multiple transactions over a period of time agreed to by you and the customer. The agreement enables you to charge a specific amount at specified intervals.

Installments Service for Installment Payments

Do not use this document if you are using the Installments service. When using the Installments service, Cybersource saves and stores payment credentials for installment transactions, ensuring compliance with COF best practices.

Customer-Initiated Installment Payments with PAN

An installment payment is a single purchase of goods or services billed to a customer in multiple transactions over a period of time agreed to by you and the customer, and sometimes, the issuing bank. The agreement enables you to charge a specific amount at specified intervals. For customers, installment payments provide greater purchasing power and lower impact on their monthly budget. For you, offering installment payments at checkout can help increase the number of successfully completed purchases.

Before you can accept installment payments, you and your acquirer must agree on the maximum number of installments you can accept, which can be different for each card type.

Recurring Payments

A recurring payment is a credentials-on-file (COF) transaction in a series of payments that you bill to a customer for a fixed amount at regular intervals that do not exceed one year between transactions. The series of recurring payments is the result of an agreement between you and the customer for the purchase of goods or services that are provided at regular intervals. Recurring payments are also known as subscriptions
.

Mastercard uses standing order and subscription payments instead of recurring payments. See Mastercard Standing Order Payments and Mastercard Subscription Payments.

Before you can store the customer's credentials, you must get their consent to store their private information. This is also known as establishing a relationship with the customer.

Supported Card Types

These are the supported card types for processing credentialed transactions:

Discover

Visa

Mastercard uses standing order and subscription payments instead of recurring payments. See Mastercard Standing Order Payments and Mastercard Subscription Payments.

Address Verification Service for Recurring Payments

If your processor supports the Address Verification Service (AVS), then the AVS should verify every authorization request. Cybersource recommends checking the AVS's results for the first recurring payment to ensure that the payment information is accurate and to reduce the risk of fraud.

You must determine how to handle the AVS results for any subsequent recurring payments that are not the same as the already-verified billing address information from the first recurring payment.
