FDC Compass: Level II and Level III

Transaction Requirements

 

 

When you send a capture or credit request with Level II or Level III data or both, you must include the required fields for every capture or credit request. For information about the non-Level-II and non-Level-III fields required for capture and credit requests, see the Credit Card Services User Guide.

Interchange Rates

 

This document provides guidelines that indicate which fields are needed in order to obtain the best interchange rates. These guidelines are based on industry information. CyberSource recommends that you contact your acquirer for the most current information because the payment card companies can change their requirements at any time.

 

Data Types

Fields for amounts and tax rates use a string data type. However, you should include only numbers and a decimal point in those fields.

Processor Specification

The specification that CyberSource used to implement Level III processing for FDC Compass is the Compass 120-Byte Processing Technical Specification, Version 1.9, July 28, 2009.
