Transaction Types
When you include the transaction type in your request, the description appears in the
Business Center
and transaction reports. Transactions are grouped into these categories:
- TransitDA: deferred-aggregated (DA) transactions, which are also known asVisa MTTandMastercard PAYGtransactions.
- BAU: business-as-usual transactions that represent no exceptions or errors for cardholders.
- FRR: first-ride-risk transactions that occur where first-ride-risk liability shift is being operated. These are specific to a card scheme and region.
- DR: debt-recovery transactions initiated by the merchant or when the cardholder taps a contactless card at a validator to enter the transit system.
- DR CIT: debt-recovery transactions initiated by the cardholder when they explicitly pay a debt, including e-commerce and telephone orders.
- Service: standard transactions for completing a payment.
- Error: standard transactions for handling transaction errors.
