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 as Visa MTT
and
Mastercard PAYG
transactions.

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.
