Card Types

Table 13    lists the values that are supported for the card_cardType field in requests and replies. Even though all of these card types are supported for card-not-present transactions, many of them are not supported for card-present transactions. Contact your processor if you have questions about which card types are supported for card-present transactions.

 

It is strongly recommended that you include the card type field in request messages even when it is optional for your processor and card type. Omitting the card type can cause the transaction to be processed with the wrong card type.
