Cards and Payment Methods
The credit card services can be used to process the types of cards and payment methods
in the following table.
Table 2
Cards and Payment Methods That Can Be Processed with Credit Card
Services
Type of Card or
Payment
Method
Description
Credit cards
CyberSource can accept payments made with numerous types of credit
cards, including Visa®, MasterCard®, American Express®, Discover®,
Diners Club®, and JCB®.
Private label cards
Private label cards are credit cards that are issued by a private company
and can be used only at the issuing company’s stores. If you are
interested in using CyberSource to process transactions for your
company’s private label card, contact your CyberSource account
representative for information.
Debit cards and
prepaid cards
Prepaid cards, Visa-branded debit cards, and MasterCard-branded debit
cards can be processed with the credit card services. See Chapter 4,
"Debit Cards and Prepaid Cards," on page 73.
Quasi-cash
A quasi-cash transaction is a cash-like transaction for the sale of items
that are directly convertible to cash. See "Quasi-Cash," page 152.
Bill Me Later
Processing Bill Me Later transactions is covered in the Bill Me Later
Supplement to Credit Card Services Using the Simple Order API.
Note
You can process payments with PINless debit cards if your business is in one
of the acceptable merchant categories in which a card-not-present debit
transaction is low risk. These categories include educational institutions,
insurers, and utilities. Processing PINless debit cards is covered in PINless
Debit Card Services Using the Simple Order API.

In 2005, China UnionPay and Discover announced a strategic alliance
whereby China UnionPay cards would be routed to the Discover Network.
As a result of this alliance:
Diners Club
Acquisition
JCB (US Domestic)
Alliance

If you have been accepting Discover but not China UnionPay, you are
now able to accept and process China UnionPay cards that have been
reissued with Discover bank identification numbers (BINs).

If you have been accepting China UnionPay but not Discover, you are
now able to accept Discover cards.
In July 2008, Discover acquired Diners Club International whereby Diners
Club cards would be routed to the Discover Network starting October 16,
2009. As a result of this acquisition:

If you have been accepting Discover but not Diners Club, you are now
able to accept Diners Club cards.

If you have been accepting Diners Club but not Discover, you are now
able to accept Discover cards.
In December 2006, JCB and Discover announced a strategic alliance
whereby JCB cards would be routed to the Discover Network in the U.S.
and select U.S. Territories (Puerto Rico, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands,
Northern Mariana Islands) that authorize, process, and fund in USD. As a
result of this alliance:

If you have been accepting Discover but not JCB, you are now able to
accept JCB cards.

If you have been accepting JCB but not Discover, you are now able to
accept Discover cards.
For some card types on some processors, the information in your CyberSource account
must include processor-issued IDs for these transactions to be processed successfully.
Call CyberSource Customer Support to update your account information.
Credit Card Services Using the Simple Order API | January 2015

Chapter 1
Introduction to the Credit Card Services
As a result of these acquisitions and alliances, the following card types are processed on
the Discover Network:

China UnionPay

Diners Club

Discover

JCB (US Domestic): For JCB cards, “US Domestic” means that the currency is USD
and your location is the U.S., Puerto Rico, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, or Northern
Mariana Islands.
Non-U.S. JCB transactions are still routed through JCB.
Note
Your processor takes care of routing your transactions; you do not need to do
any additional processing to route these card types to the Discover Network.
Note
Types of Transactions
Card-Present Transactions
When a customer uses a card that is physically present to make a purchase, the purchase
is known as a card-present transaction. This type of transaction typically occurs in a retail
environment. To process card-present transactions:

Use the credit card services described in this guide.

Provide card-present data as described in Card-Present Processing Using the Simple
Order API.
Card-Not-Present Transactions
When a customer provides a card number but you do not have access to the physical
card, the purchase is known as a card-not-present transaction. This type of transaction
typically occurs over the Internet or through a call center. To process card-not-present
transactions, use the credit card services described in this guide.
Credit Card Services Using the Simple Order API | January 2015
18
Chapter 1
Introduction to the Credit Card Services
Card-not-present transactions pose an additional level of risk to your business because
you cannot directly verify the customer’s identification. CyberSource offers features, such
as Address Verification System (AVS) and Card Verification Numbers (CVN), in the credit
card services that can reduce that risk by checking the validity of the customer’s
information and notifying you when discrepancies occur. For descriptions of AVS and
CVN, see Chapter 3, "Authorization Features," on page 59.
Transactions with Special Data
The credit card services can process these types of special data:

Airline data: See Airline Processing Using the Simple Order API.

Level II and Level III data: SeeLevel II and Level III Processing Using the Simple
Order API.

Card-present data: See Card-Present Processing Using the Simple Order API.
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. The following table
describes areas of compliance that have particular focus.
Table 4
Compliance for International Transactions
Area of Compliance
Description
Merchant account descriptor
requirements
The merchant account descriptor is a fixed text field that is
associated with a credit card account. The purpose of the
descriptor is to communicate merchant information to the
customer so that they can be reminded of the circumstances
that triggered the payment. Merchant descriptors reduce the
possibility of a chargeback. Accordingly, the merchant descriptor
displayed on the customer’s statement should be a close match
to the name on your web site. It is not good practice to
consolidate multiple web sites into a single credit card account
and use a generic descriptor that more-or-less covers all
offerings. For details about merchant descriptors, see "Merchant
Descriptors," page 108.

Chapter 1
Table 4
Introduction to the Credit Card Services
Compliance for International Transactions (Continued)
Area of Compliance
Description
Excessive chargebacks
You are responsible for maintaining good customer support,
rapid problem resolution, a high level of customer satisfaction,
and transaction management processes that minimize
fraudulent transactions. All of these are required to prevent an
excessive number of chargebacks. In the event that credit card
chargebacks become excessive, CyberSource can require you
to undertake business process changes to reduce chargebacks.
If the chargebacks are not reduced to a satisfactory level,
CyberSource can terminate the account.
If Global Collect is your processor, see Appendix K, "Global
Collect Credit Card Reversals," on page 310 for more
information about chargebacks.
Merchant Remittance Funding
In conjunction with processing international transactions, you can request that
CyberSource convert transaction proceeds to a currency other than the currency in which
the transaction took place for funding into an operating account. Currency conversion
uses a foreign exchange rate to calculate how much the transaction currency is worth in
terms of the funding currency. The foreign exchange rate might be explicitly stated as a
rate or implicitly stated as a transaction amount, and a funded amount and can vary from
day to day. The foreign exchange rate might also include a mark-up for the foreign
exchange risk, sales commissions, and handling costs.
Banks and Associations
In this document, the word processor can refer to a processor, acquirer, or
acquiring processor depending on your location.
Note
Acquiring (Merchant) Banks
An acquiring, or merchant, bank offers accounts to businesses that accept credit card
payments. Before you can accept payments, you must have a merchant bank account
from an acquiring bank. Your merchant bank account must be configured to process cardnot-present or mail order/telephone order (MOTO) transactions.
Note
Each acquiring bank has connections to a limited number of payment
processors. You must choose a payment processor that your acquiring bank
supports. See "Payment Processors," page 25.
Credit Card Services Using the Simple Order API | January 2015

Chapter 1
Introduction to the Credit Card Services
Expect to be charged the fees shown in the following table.
Table 5
Fees
Fee
Description
Discount rates
Your acquiring bank 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) depending on your acquiring
bank and other factors.
Interchange fees
Visa and MasterCard each have a base fee, called the interchange fee, for
each type of transaction. Your acquiring bank and processor can explain
how to minimize this fee.
Chargebacks
When customers dispute charges to their accounts, you can incur
chargebacks. A chargeback occurs when a charge on a customer’s
account is reversed. Your merchant bank removes the money from your
account and could charge you a fee for the chargeback.
You are responsible for maintaining:

Good customer support

Rapid problem resolution

A high level of customer satisfaction

Transaction management processes that minimize fraudulent transactions
The items in the preceding list are required to prevent an excessive number of credit card
chargebacks. In the event that credit card chargebacks become excessive, CyberSource
can require you to undertake business process changes to reduce chargebacks. If the
chargebacks are not reduced to a satisfactory level, CyberSource can terminate your
account.
If you receive a large number of chargebacks or if a large number of your transactions
involve fraud, your acquiring bank might increase your discount rate or revoke your
merchant bank account. Contact CyberSource for information about CyberSource
products that can help prevent fraud.
Issuing (Consumer) Banks
An issuing, or consumer, bank provides credit cards to and underwrites lines of credit for
consumers. The issuing bank provides monthly statements and collects payments. Issuing
banks must follow the rules of the payment card companies to which they belong.

Introduction to the Credit Card Services
Payment Card Companies
Payment card companies manage communications between acquiring banks and issuing
banks. They also develop industry standards, support their brands, and establish fees for
acquiring banks.
Some payment card companies, such as Visa and MasterCard, are trade associations
that do not issue cards. Instead, issuing banks are members of these associations and
they issue cards under license from the associations.
Other card companies, such as Discover and American Express, act as the issuing banks
for their own cards. Before you use CyberSource to process cards from these companies,
you must sign agreements with the companies.

Payment Processors
In this document, the word processor can refer to processors, acquirers, or
acquiring processors depending on your location.
Note
Payment processors connect CyberSource servers with acquiring banks. Before you can
accept payments, you must register with a payment processor. Your acquiring bank might
require you to use a payment processor with which the bank has a business relationship.
CyberSource does not necessarily support all the features that are offered by each
processor. This guide describes the payment processing features supported by
CyberSource. The beginning of each feature description specifies which payment
processors support the feature.
Your processor provides you with unique identification numbers for your account. You
must provide these identification numbers to CyberSource Customer Support.
The following table lists the processors and corresponding card types that CyberSource
supports for the credit card services.
Only the card types explicitly listed here are supported.

CHAPTER
Credit Card Processing
2
Authorizing a Payment
CyberSource supports authorizations for all processors.
Online Authorizations
Online authorization means that when you submit an order using a credit card, you
receive an immediate confirmation about the availability of the funds. If the funds are
available, the issuing bank reduces your customer’s open to buy, which is the amount of
credit available on the card. Most of the common credit cards are processed online. For
online authorizations, you typically start the process of order fulfillment soon after you
receive confirmation of the order.
Online authorizations expire with the issuing bank after a specific length of time if they
have not been captured and settled. Most authorizations expire within five to seven days.
The issuing bank sets the length of time.
Note
CyberSource is not informed by the issuing bank when an authorization
expires. By default, the authorization remains in the CyberSource system for 60
days after the authorization date, even after it expires with the issuing bank.
When an authorization expires with the issuing bank, your bank or processor might require
you to resubmit an authorization request and include a request for capture in the same
message.
Credit Card Services Using the Simple Order API | January 2015
29
Chapter 2
Credit Card Processing
The following figure shows the steps that occur when you request an online credit card
authorization.
Figure 1
Processing an Online Authorization
1
The customer places an order and provides the credit card number, the card
expiration date, and additional information about the card.
2
You send a request for authorization over a secure Internet connection. 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.
3
CyberSource validates the order information then contacts your payment processor
and requests authorization.
4
The processor sends the transaction to the payment card company, which routes it to
the issuing bank for the customer’s credit card. Some card companies, including
Discover and American Express, act as their own issuing banks.
5
The issuing bank approves or declines the request.
Depending on the processor and card type, the issuing bank can use AVS to confirm
the billing address and CVN to verify that the customer has possession of the card.
See Chapter 3, "Authorization Features," on page 59.
For debit cards and prepaid cards, the issuing bank can approve a partial amount if
the balance on the card is less than the requested authorization amount and if the
transaction is enabled for partial authorization. For details about partial authorizations
and for a list of the processors and card types supported for partial authorizations, see
"Partial Authorizations," page 73.
Note
6
For a limited number of processors and card types, partial authorizations
and balance responses are supported for credit cards in addition to debit
cards and prepaid cards. See "Partial Authorizations," page 73, and
"Balance Responses," page 79.
CyberSource runs its own tests then tells you whether the authorization succeeded.

Chapter 2
Credit Card Processing
Offline Authorizations
Offline authorization means that when you submit an order using a credit card, you do not
know whether the funds are available until you capture the order and receive confirmation
of payment. You typically do not ship the goods until you receive this payment
confirmation. For offline credit cards, it usually takes five days longer to receive payment
confirmation than for online cards.
Creating an Authorization Request
Step 1
Set the ccAuthService_run field to true.
Step 2
Do not include any of these services in the request:

Full authorization reversal or credit (ccAuthReversalService or ccCreditService)

Services for other payment methods, such as electronic checks, PayPal, bank
transfers, and direct debits


Processors
The following table provides additional information about authorizations for specific
processors.
Table 10
Authorization Information for Specific Processors
Payment Processor
Authorization Information
American Express Direct
For USD, American Express Direct limits authorization and
capture amounts to $9,999,999.00. For other currencies, the
maximum amount depends on the currency. Contact American
Express for the maximum amounts for the currencies that you
are using. Regardless of exponent or currency, the maximum
number of digits for the amount value is 12 digits.
Asia, Middle East, and Africa
Gateway
The Asia, Middle East, and Africa Gateway limits authorization
and capture amounts to four bytes, which means that the
maximum amount is 2147483647.
Certain acquirers that are connected to the Asia, Middle East,
and Africa Gateway require that an authorization be autocaptured. This means that an authorization always results in a
capture if the authorization is approved. If you use any of these
acquirers, you still must send CyberSource a capture request.
Contact your CyberSource Customer Support representative to
find out whether your acquirer uses delayed capture or auto
capture.
Atos
Atos limits authorization, capture, and credit amounts to 12
digits, which means that the maximum amount is
999999999999.
Important Authorizations time out after six days. For Maestro
(UK Domestic), when you submit a capture request after six
days, you must reauthorize first. For all other card types, when
you submit a capture request after six days, CyberSource tries
to obtain a fresh authorization as described in "Authorization
Refresh," page 51.

countries you are required to submit the authorization request
and the capture request in the same message. For other
countries, you can submit the authorization and capture
requests separately. Contact CyberSource Customer Support
for each country’s requirements.
For transactions in Brazil, you must request the follow-on
capture within five days of the authorization request.
CyberSource through
VisaNet
CyberSource through VisaNet limits authorization and capture
amounts to 12 digits, which means that the maximum amount is
999999999999.
FDMS South
FDMS South no longer requires you to include all AVS data
fields in your requests. The only required AVS data fields are the
country code and postal code. All other AVS data fields are
optional even though they are marked as required in Table 51,
"Request Fields," on page 183. However, if you omit AVS data
fields that were previously required, you might experience an
increase in the number of declined transactions and
chargebacks. For additional information, contact your processor.
For the Indonesian rupiah (IDR) and Chilean peso (CLP)
currencies only:

Rounding occurs, which can cause a minor discrepancy that
consists of a maximum of one currency unit between the
amount you requested and the amount that is authorized.

When a transaction is enabled for partial authorization, you
must ensure that the requested amount does not include any
digits to the right of the decimal separator. For a description of
partial authorizations, see "Partial Authorizations," page 73.
Global Collect
For Carte Bleue, the authorization and capture amount must be
0.99 euros or more.
GPN
GPN limits the authorization, capture, and credit amounts to 10
digits.
Litle
Litle limits authorization and capture amounts to eight digits,
which means that the maximum amount is 99999999.
Moneris
Moneris limits authorization and capture amounts to nine digits,
which means that the maximum amount is 9999999.99.
RBS WorldPay Atlanta
RBS WorldPay Atlanta limits the authorization, capture, and
credit amounts to the equivalent of 999,999.99 USD.
Depending on the value you send, the decimal is either
truncated or appended. For example, if you send 1.123 the
decimal is truncated to 1.12. If you send 123 it is converted to
123.00.

Credit Card Processing
Creating a Full Authorization Reversal
Request
Step 1
Set the ccAuthReversalService_run field to true.
Step 2
Send the request ID value in the ccAuthReversalService_authRequestID field.
A full authorization reversal is a follow-on transaction that uses the request ID returned
from a previous authorization. The request ID links the full authorization reversal to the
authorization. CyberSource uses the request ID to look up the customer’s billing and
account information from the original authorization, so you are not required to include
those fields in your full authorization reversal request.
For information about requesting a follow-on service, see Getting Started with
CyberSource Advanced for the Simple Order API.
Step 3
Do not include any other CyberSource services in the request.
Step 4
Include the following required fields in the request:

ccAuthReversalService_run

ccAuthReversalService_authRequestID

merchantID

merchantReferenceCode

paymentSolution: include this field only if you are using Visa Checkout.

purchaseTotals_currency

purchaseTotals_grandTotalAmount: either this field or item_#_unitPrice must be
included in the request.

vc_orderID: include this field only if you are using Visa Checkout.

Detailed descriptions of these required request fields

Optional request fields

Reply fields
Make sure the amount of the reversal is the same as the amount that was authorized:

You cannot partially reverse an authorization; you can reverse an authorization only
for its full amount.

When you use a debit card or prepaid card and only a partial amount was approved,
the amount of the reversal must be the amount that was authorized, not the amount
that was requested.

Chapter 2
Credit Card Processing
Capturing an Authorization
CyberSource supports captures for all processors except Santander.
When you are ready to fulfill a customer’s order and transfer funds from the customer’s
bank to your bank, capture the authorization for that order.
If you can fulfill only part of a customer’s order, do not capture the full amount of the
authorization. Capture only the cost of the items that you ship. When you ship the
remaining items, request a new authorization, then capture the new authorization.
Captures
Unlike authorizations, a capture does not happen in real time. All of the capture requests
for a day are placed in a batch file and sent to the processor. In most cases, the batch is
settled at night. It usually takes two to four days for your acquiring bank to deposit funds in
your merchant bank account.
The following figure shows the steps that occur when you request a capture or credit.
Figure 2
Processing a Capture or Credit
1
You send a request for capture or credit over a secure Internet connection.
2
CyberSource validates the order information then stores the capture or credit request
in a batch file.
3
After midnight, CyberSource sends the batch file to your payment processor.
4
The processor settles the capture or credit request and transfers funds to the
appropriate bank account.
Note
The processor does not notify CyberSource when a transaction is declined.
To ensure that all captures and credits are processed, reconcile your
system’s reports with the reports from your processor. See Getting Started
with CyberSource Advanced for the Simple Order API for information about
reconciliation.
Credit Card Services Using the Simple Order API | January 2015

Chapter 2
Credit Card Processing
Due to the potential delay between authorization and capture, the authorization might
expire with the issuing bank before you request capture. Most authorizations expire within
five to seven days. If an authorization expires with the issuing bank before you request the
capture, your bank or processor might require you to resubmit an authorization request
and include a request for capture in the same message.
Note
CyberSource is not informed by the issuing bank when an authorization
expires. By default, the authorization remains in the CyberSource system for 60
days after the authorization date, even after it expires with the issuing bank.
Creating a Capture Request
Step 1
Set the ccCaptureService_run field to true.
Step 2
Send the request ID value in the ccCaptureService_authRequestID field.
A capture is a follow-on transaction that uses the request ID returned from a previous
authorization. The request ID links the capture to the authorization. CyberSource uses the
request ID to look up the customer’s billing and account information from the original
authorization, so you are not required to include those fields in your capture request.
For information about requesting a follow-on service, see Getting Started with
CyberSource Advanced for the Simple Order API.
Note
Step 3
For Atos, your request for a capture must also include the request token
returned from a previous authorization in addition to the request ID. Like the
request ID, the request token links the capture to the authorization. Send the
request token in the orderRequestToken field.
Do not include any of these services in the request:

Full authorization reversal (ccAuthReversalService)

Credit (ccCreditService)

Services for other payment methods, such as electronic checks, PayPal, bank
transfers, and direct debits

Risk update (riskUpdateService)


The Asia, Middle East, and Africa Gateway limits authorization
and capture amounts to four bytes, which is 2147483647.
Certain acquirers that are connected to the Asia, Middle East,
and Africa Gateway require that an authorization be autocaptured. This means that an authorization always results in a
capture if the authorization is approved. If you use any of these
acquirers, you still must send CyberSource a capture request.
Contact your CyberSource Customer Support representative to
find out whether your acquirer uses delayed capture or auto
capture.
Atos
Atos limits authorization, capture, and credit amounts to 12
digits, which means that the maximum amount is

Chapter 2
Credit Card Processing
If the capture amount is less than the authorization amount, CyberSource automatically
performs a partial authorization reversal before it sends the capture request to the
processor. The results of a successful partial authorization reversal are:

The capture amount matches the new authorization amount at the payment card
company.

The hold on the unused credit card funds might be released. The issuing bank
decides whether or not to release the hold on unused funds.
Not all issuers act on a request for a partial authorization reversal.
Therefore CyberSource cannot guarantee that the funds will be released.
Note
Interchange Optimization
Processors:

CyberSource through VisaNet: Visa and MasterCard
Interchange optimization is not available for MasterCard transactions in the
IDR currency on CyberSource through VisaNet.
Important

GPN acquiring merchants: Visa
Interchange optimization helps you reduce your interchange fees. Interchange
optimization consists of:

Automatic authorization refresh: When the capture request occurs more than six days
after the date of the original authorization, CyberSource automatically obtains a fresh
authorization for the capture amount.

Automatic partial authorization reversal: If the capture does not need a fresh
authorization but the capture amount is less than the authorization amount,
CyberSource automatically performs a partial authorization reversal which releases
the hold on unused credit card funds and ensures that the settlement amount matches
the authorization amount.
Interchange optimization does not work for card-present transactions.
Note
To enable interchange optimization, contact CyberSource Customer Support to have your
account configured for this feature.

Chapter 2
Credit Card Processing
Authorization Refresh
CyberSource provides authorization refresh functionality to Atos merchants for all card
types except Maestro (UK Domestic).
When a capture request occurs more than six days after the date of the original
authorization, CyberSource tries to obtain a fresh authorization for the capture amount by
performing a system-generated authorization using the payment data from the original
authorization.
Payer authentication data and CVN data are not included in system-generated
authorizations. Regardless of whether or not you included payer authentication data in
your original authorization request, you will not receive payer authentication protection for
a system-generated authorization.
If the system-generated authorization is successful, CyberSource submits the capture
request with the information from the new authorization. If the system-generated
authorization is not successful, CyberSource submits the capture request with the
information from the original authorization.
The system-generated authorization is linked to the original authorization in the Business
Center and in reports. The subsequent capture is linked to both authorizations in the
Business Center and in reports through the request IDs as with any capture.
Performing a Sale
A sale is a bundled authorization and capture. You can use a sale instead of a separate
authorization and capture if there is no delay between taking a customer’s order and
shipping the goods. A sale is typically used for electronic goods and for services that you
can turn on immediately.
To perform a sale, request the authorization and capture services at the same time.
Include the request fields that are required for the authorization. No additional fields are
required for the capture.
If the authorization is successful, CyberSource processes the capture immediately and the
reply message includes results for the authorization and for the capture. If the
authorization is declined, CyberSource does not process the capture and the reply
message includes results only for the authorization.
For debit cards and prepaid cards, the issuing bank can approve a partial amount if the
balance on the card is less than the requested authorization amount and if the transaction
is enabled for partial authorization. When this happens, CyberSource does not process
the capture. However, you can submit a capture request for the approved amount. For
details about partial authorizations and for a list of the processors and card types
supported for partial authorizations, see "Partial Authorizations," page 73.

"Partial Authorizations," page 73.
For details about authorizations and captures, see "Authorizing a Payment," page 29, and
"Capturing an Authorization," page 42.
Crediting a Payment
CyberSource supports credits for all processors except Santander.
When your request for a credit is successful, the issuing bank for the credit card takes
money out of your merchant bank account and returns it to the customer. It usually takes
two to four days for your acquiring bank to transfer funds from your merchant bank
account.
Warning
Carefully control access to this service to prevent unauthorized credits. Do not
request this service directly from your customer interface. Instead, incorporate
this service as part of your customer service process.
Credit requests are batched in the same manner as captures. See "Captures," page 42.
Types of Credits
A follow-on credit is linked to a capture in the CyberSource system. You can request
multiple follow-on credits against a single capture. On CyberSource through VisaNet, you
must request a follow-on credit within 180 days of the authorization. For all other
processors, you must request a follow-on credit within 60 days of the authorization.
Note
Important
On Atos, your request for a follow-on credit must also include the request token
returned from a previous capture request in addition to the request ID. Like the
request ID, the request token links the follow-on credit to the capture. Send the
request token in the orderRequestToken field.
When you combine a request for a follow-on credit with a request for another
service, such as the tax calculation service, you must provide the customer’s
billing and account information.

Chapter 2
Credit Card Processing
A stand-alone credit is not linked to a capture. There is no time limit for requesting standalone credits. Instead of sending the request ID field in the credit request, the request
must include the fields for the customer’s billing and account information.
For stand-alone credits, CyberSource does not validate billTo_postalCode or
shipTo_postalCode.
Note
Creating a Credit Request
Step 1
Set the ccCreditService_run field to true.
Step 2
For a follow-on credit, send the request ID value in the ccCreditService_
captureRequestID field.
A follow-on credit uses the request ID returned from a previous capture to link the credit to
the capture. CyberSource uses the request ID to look up the customer’s billing and
account information from the original authorization, so you are not required to include
those fields in your credit request. To perform multiple partial follow-on credits, send the
same request ID in each follow-on credit request.

after the capture before requesting a credit.
CCS (CAFIS)
CCS (CAFIS) supports stand-alone credits. However, when
a request for a stand-alone credit is made, most acquirers
make inquiries about the purpose of such a request.
CyberSource recommends using follow-on credits instead of
stand-alone credits whenever possible.
CyberSource Latin American

CyberSource Latin American Processing supports only
follow-on credits. Stand-alone credits are not supported. The
60-day limit for follow-on credits does not apply to
CyberSource Latin American Processing: you can request a
follow-on credit more than 60 days after the original charge.
CyberSource Latin American Processing does not support
the credit service for Aura Card and Hipercard. You must
make manual refunds for these card types.
CyberSource through VisaNet
CyberSource through VisaNet supports only follow-on
credits. Stand-alone credits are not supported. CyberSource
recommends that you do not submit a follow-on credit
request on the same day as the capture that is being

example, if you want to process a follow-on credit of 15.00
against an original capture of 50.00, and then later you want
to process a follow-on credit of 35.00 against the same
capture, you must request the two credits on two separate
days.
Before performing stand-alone credits with Global Collect,
you must contact CyberSource Customer Support.
Credits for cards using Global Collect are not batched.
CyberSource submits these captures immediately to Global
Collect when they are received.
GPN
GPN limits the authorization, capture, and credit amounts to
10 digits.
JCN Gateway
JCN Gateway supports stand-alone credits. However, when
a request for a stand-alone credit is made, most acquirers
make inquiries about the purpose of such a request.
CyberSource recommends using follow-on credits instead of
stand-alone credits whenever possible.
Litle
For a follow-on credit to be successfully processed, the
capture that is being credited must have been processed
successfully. To ensure that the capture is processed before
the follow-on credit request is received, do not batch the
follow-on credit on the same day as the capture.
If the capture has not been processed yet, CyberSource
sends this error message: The follow-on credit
cannot be processed because the capture
transaction has not been processed yet.
If the capture has been processed but was not successful,
CyberSource sends this error message: The follow-on
credit cannot be processed because the
capture transaction failed.

Credit Card Processing
Voiding a Capture or Credit
CyberSource supports voids for all processors except:

Atos

Global Collect

Lynk
Note
CyberSource Latin American Processing does not support voids for Aura Card
and Hipercard because transactions with these cards are captured
immediately.
A void cancels a capture or credit request that you submitted to CyberSource. A
transaction can be voided only when CyberSource has not already submitted the capture
or credit request to your processor. CyberSource usually submits capture and credit
requests to your processor once a day, so your window for successfully voiding a capture
or credit request is small. CyberSource declines your void request when the capture or
credit request has already been sent to the processor.
You cannot perform a follow-on credit for a transaction that has been voided.
You cannot undo a void.
Capture After Void
If your processor supports multiple captures, you can capture an authorization after you
void previous captures associated with the authorization. For example, you can perform
the following sequence:
1
Authorize a payment.
2
Capture the authorization.
3
Void the capture.
4
Capture the authorization again.
To find out if your processor supports multiple captures, see Table 12, "Capture
Information for Specific Processors," on page 45.
On all other processors, when you void a transaction the transaction is at the end of its life
and cannot be the source of another follow-on capture or credit. For example, if you
authorize and capture a transaction, and then you void the capture, you cannot submit
another capture request that uses the authorization code or CyberSource request ID from
the original authorization. If you still want to capture that transaction, you must
re-authorize the transaction and capture the new authorization.

Credit Card Processing
Creating a Void Request
Step 1
Set the voidService_run field to true.
Step 2
Send the request ID value in the voidService_voidRequestID field.
A void is a follow-on transaction that uses the request ID returned from a capture or credit.
The request ID links the void to the service that is being voided. CyberSource uses the
request ID to look up the customer’s billing and account information from the capture or
credit, so you are not required to include those fields in your void request.
For information about requesting a follow-on service, see Getting Started with
CyberSource Advanced for the Simple Order API.
Step 3
Do not include any other CyberSource services in the request.
Step 4
Include the following required fields in the request:

voidService_run

voidService_voidRequestID

orderRequestToken: required only for Atos


truncates the value at 40 characters before sending it to Visa and the issuing
bank. Truncating this value affects AVS results and therefore might also affect
risk decisions and chargebacks.
Processing AVS Codes
When a processor supports AVS for a transaction’s card type, the issuing bank uses AVS
to confirm that the customer has provided the correct billing address. When a customer
provides incorrect information, the transaction might be fraudulent.
AVS occurs automatically with every authorization request. The authorization reply
includes the ccAuthReply_avsCode field, which contains the AVS code from the issuing
bank that indicates whether AVS matched the address and whether the address match
was partial or complete. See Appendix E, "AVS Codes," on page 296.
Credit Card Services Using the Simple Order API | January 2015
61
Chapter 3
Authorization Features
When AVS cannot verify the address, but the authorization is otherwise valid, you might
receive an AVS decline. You can capture authorizations that receive an AVS decline.
However, you must review these orders to ensure that they are legitimate. Settling
authorizations that fail the AVS check might have an impact on the fees charged by your
bank. Contact your bank for details about how AVS management might affect your
discount rate.
The ccAuthReply_avsCodeRaw field is the raw AVS code sent directly from the
processor. Do not use this value to handle the AVS response. Use the value only for
debugging purposes.
Controlling AVS Results
By default, only the AVS code N results in an AVS decline. You can change this behavior
by using the businessRules_declineAVSFlags field to specify a list of AVS codes that
should result in an AVS decline.
When you use businessRules_declineAVSFlags, you must include the value
N in the list if you want to receive declines for the AVS code N.
Important
When your request includes the businessRules_ignoreAVSResult field set to true, you
receive no AVS declines, even when you use businessRules_declineAVSFlags.

Note
As part of EV for Litle, you can provide the IP address in the billTo_ipAddress
field. When you provide the IP address, American Express does not send a
response for it. Instead, American Express uses the IP address to run a check
in their internal database to ensure that the IP address does not match
previously fraudulent transactions with the same IP address and is not from
countries that American Express has determined to be a high risk for fraud. If,
based on the IP address, American Express determines that the transaction is
fraudulent or is a high risk for fraud, American Express declines the transaction.
Request Fields
To receive an EV response code for a particular value, you must include that value in your
authorization request. Table 16, "Request Fields for Electronic Verification," on page 65
lists the request fields for each value that EV can verify. In the table, the R/O column
indicates whether the field is required or optional for the authorization service.
Note
Some merchants use placeholder data for some required fields, such as
addresses and phone numbers, because their customers do not provide them
with the required information. The benefit of using certain specific placeholder
values is that Decision Manager ignores the values instead of attempting to
process them. However, when you use placeholder data in any of the fields that
are used for EV, the corresponding EV results are invalid.

CVN Locations and Terminology
The CVN, which is printed or embossed on the back of the card, can be sent with the
request and verified to help reduce the risk of fraud.
Figure 3
Example of a Visa Card Verification Number
Each payment card company has its own name for this value:

Visa calls it the Card Verification Value (CVV2).

American Express and Discover call it the Card Identification Digits (CID).

MasterCard calls it the Card Validation Code (CVC2).
To use CVN, include the card_cvNumber field in the request. This number is never
transferred during card swipes and should be known only by the cardholder.
CVN Codes
The reply message 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 CyberSource value that corresponds to
the raw response code. This value is returned in the ccAuthReply_cvCode field.
Appendix G, "CVN Codes," on page 302 describes the mapped response codes.
Even when the CVN does not match the expected value, the issuing bank might still
authorize the transaction. You will receive a CVN decline from CyberSource, 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.

For all other processors, when the CVN does not match:
Visa and MasterCard

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.
A CVN code of D or N causes CyberSource to decline the request with reason code 230.
You can still capture the transaction, but you must review the order to ensure that it is
legitimate.
Note CyberSource, not the issuing bank, assigns the CVN decline to the authorization.
You can capture any authorization that has a valid authorization code from the issuing
bank, even when the request receives a CVN decline.
When the issuing bank 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.

Do not use Dynamic Currency Conversion with a verbal authorization.
Important
When you request an authorization through CyberSource, the issuing bank might ask you
to call the payment processor to answer questions about the transaction. When this
happens, the processor gives you a verbal authorization code for the transaction. To
capture a verbally authorized transaction, send the verbal authorization code in the
capture request. Make sure your customer service and point-of-sale staff can enter verbal
authorization codes into your system.
Credit Card Services Using the Simple Order API | January 2015

Chapter 3
Authorization Features
You can use a verbal authorization to capture an authorization that was declined for any of
these reasons:

Verbal authorization required

Card expired

Card refused

Invalid card
Do not confuse verbal authorizations with forced captures:

With a verbal authorization, you obtain the authorization code directly
from the processor or issuing bank after requesting an authorization
through CyberSource and receiving a CyberSource decline.

With a forced capture, you get the authorization code by authorizing a
payment outside of CyberSource. See "Forced Captures," page 101.
Important
In both cases, you must follow up with a capture that uses the CyberSource
system.
A verbal authorization works as follows:
1
The authorization reply includes reason code 201, which indicates that the issuing
bank is requiring a verbal authorization.
For an American Express card with FDMS Nashville, the authorization reply also
includes a referral response number in ccAuthReply_referralResponseNumber.
You will be asked for this number, which identifies the failed transaction, when you call
American Express for the verbal authorization.
2
You call the processor to answer questions about the transaction.
3
When the processor verbally authorizes the transaction, the processor gives you a
verbal authorization code.
4
You include the verbal authorization code in your capture request:

Send the verbal authorization code in the ccCaptureService_verbalAuthCode
field.

Send the word verbal in the ccCaptureService_authType field.
If you don’t set ccCaptureService_authType to verbal, the
ccCaptureService_verbalAuthCode field is ignored.

For the American Express card type on FDMS South, the ccCaptureService_
posData and ccCaptureService_transactionID fields are required to comply
with the CAPN requirements.

Note
Authorization Features
When you obtain a verbal authorization, American Express does not provide a
transaction ID. However, American Express requires that the transaction ID be
provided in capture requests. Because no transaction ID is available from
American Express for verbal authorizations, CyberSource enters zeros in the
transaction ID field in the capture request. American Express has indicated that
capture requests submitted without a valid transaction ID, including
transactions that originated as verbal authorizations, might incur additional
transaction charges. Contact your American Express account representative to
find out whether your processing is affected by these additional transaction
charges.

Opting In
Note
If you accept American Express cards and Chase Paymentech Solutions is
your processor, see "Special Processing for American Express Cards on
Chase Paymentech Solutions," page 77.
You must opt in to be able to receive and capture partial authorizations. There are two
ways to opt in:
You can call CyberSource Customer Support to have your account enabled for partial
authorizations. When you do this, all your authorization requests are enabled for
partial authorizations.

or

You can set ccAuthService_partialAuthIndicator to true in your authorization or
sale request. When you do this, only that specific transaction is enabled for partial
authorization.
Note
When your account is enabled for partial authorizations, you can disable partial
authorization for a specific transaction by setting ccAuthService_
partialAuthIndicator to false in your authorization or sale request.
How a Partial Authorization Works
Note
Support for your processor and card type does not guarantee a partial
authorization. The issuing bank decides whether or not to approve a partial
amount.
When the balance on a debit card or prepaid card is less than the requested authorization
amount, the issuing bank can approve a partial amount. When this happens, you can
accept multiple forms of payment for the order starting with some or all of the approved
amount followed by one or more different payment methods:
1
If your account is not configured for partial authorizations, you must enable partial
authorizations for the transaction by setting ccAuthService_partialAuthIndicator to
true in your request.
Note

Special Processing for American Express
Cards on Chase Paymentech Solutions
If you accept American Express cards and Chase Paymentech Solutions is your
processor, perform the following procedure to opt in to partial authorizations.
To opt in to partial authorizations for American Express cards on
Chase Paymentech Solutions:
Step 1
Contact Chase Paymentech Solutions to have your account enabled for partial
authorizations for the American Express card type. The transaction division for partial
authorizations for American Express should be set to 3.
Important
Step 2
This step is only for the American Express card type on Chase Paymentech
Solutions. For all other card types on Chase Paymentech Solutions, the
transaction division for partial authorizations should be set to the default value
of 0 (zero).
Contact CyberSource Customer Support to have your account enabled for partial
authorizations.
After your accounts have been enabled for partial authorizations at Chase Paymentech
Solutions and at CyberSource, you can disable partial authorizations for a specific
transaction by setting ccAuthService_partialAuthIndicator to false in your
authorization or sale request.
Special Processing for IDR and CLP on FDMS
South
For the Indonesian rupiah (IDR) and Chilean peso (CLP) currencies only:

Rounding occurs, which can cause a minor discrepancy of up to one currency unit
between the amount you requested and the amount that is authorized.

When a transaction is enabled for partial authorization, you must ensure that the
requested amount does not include any digits to the right of the decimal separator.

Debit Cards and Prepaid Cards
Real-Time Reversals
There are two kinds of real-time reversals:

A full authorization reversal is a service that you can request.
If you do not capture a partial authorization and if full authorization reversals are
supported for your processor and card type, you must request a full authorization
reversal to release the hold that the authorization placed on the customer’s funds. The
amount of the reversal must be the amount that was authorized, not the amount that
was requested. For details about this service and to see the processors and card
types for which this service is supported, see "Reversing an Authorization," page 35.

An automatic partial authorization reversal is performed automatically by CyberSource
or your processor under certain conditions.
If you capture a partial authorization for an amount that is less than the approved
amount, CyberSource automatically performs a partial authorization reversal if it is
supported for your processor and card type. CyberSource performs the automatic
partial authorization reversal before sending the capture request to the processor.
Note
Some processors perform an automatic partial authorization reversal when
there is an interchange benefit. These processors do not allow
CyberSource to perform this functionality.
For details about automatic partial authorization reversals and for a list of the
processors and card types for which it is supported, see "Automatic Partial
Authorization Reversals," page 49.

How Apple Pay Works
The following diagram shows how use the CyberSource credit card services to integrate
Apple Pay into your order management system.
1
Your iOS application uses the Apple PassKit Framework to request payment data
from Apple.
2
Apple sends encrypted payment data to your iOS application. The encrypted payment
data includes a token instead of a primary account number (PAN).
Credit Card Services Using the Simple Order API | January 2015
86
Chapter 5
Optional Features
3
Your iOS application forwards the encrypted payment data to your order management
system.
4
Your order management system requests the CyberSource authorization service and
includes the encrypted payment data in the authorization request.
5
CyberSource decrypts the payment data and forwards the information to the payment
network, including your processor and the relevant card association.
Processing Apple Pay Payments with
CyberSource Credit Card Services
Step 1
Use the Apple PassKit Framework to extract the Apple encrypted payment data from your
iOS application. For more information see the PassKit Framework Reference.
Step 2
Send the encrypted payment data to your server.
Step 3
Request the credit card authorization service as described in "Creating an Authorization
Request," page 31.
After receiving the authorization request, CyberSource decrypts the encrypted payment
data and includes some of the decrypted data as needed in the authorization request that
CyberSource sends to your processor.
Step 4
Receive the reply message from CyberSource.
The fields that CyberSource includes in the authorization reply message are the same as
the fields included in the reply for a normal authorization.
Step 5
Perform the rest of the credit card processing as usual as described in this guide.

The Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) service converts a foreign cardholder’s
purchase from your local currency to the cardholder’s billing currency. This service can
help you improve or create business relationships with customers who prefer to make
purchases in their own currency.
Requirements and Limitations
The requirements for using the DCC service are:

Your local currency must be USD.

You must contact CyberSource Customer Support to have your account configured for
this feature.

You must provide the customer with a receipt showing the US Dollar amount, the
foreign currency amount, and the rate of exchange used to convert the transaction.
You must also have the customer sign an acknowledgement that the customer had a
choice to pay in US Dollars and that the choice of currency is final.
Partial authorizations cannot be performed with the DCC service.

Important
For DCC transactions, USD is the only supported currency for full authorization
reversals. You can reverse an authorization when the DCC indicator is 2 or 3
because these values indicate that the transaction was in USD. When you
request a full authorization reversal when the DCC indicator is 1, which
indicates that the transaction was in a foreign currency, the reversed amount is
incorrect.

If DCC data was included in the capture request, then DCC data must be included in the
credit request:

If this is a follow-on credit and if the credit amount is the same as the capture amount,
submit a credit request that includes the same DCC values that were included in the
capture request.

If this is a follow-on credit and if the credit amount is different from the capture
amount, call the DCC service with the credit amount and then submit a credit request

Chase Paymentech Solution’s Credit Card Encryption program
Depending on your type of business, you might be eligible to acquire from an issuing bank
a list of the customers who have credit cards issued by that bank. The list does not include
the customers’ credit card numbers, but instead includes encoded account numbers.
Some processors refer to this type of program as issuer encryption and to the numbers as
encrypted account numbers. This type of program is designed to protect customer
information according to the provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.
When processing a payment or credit for one of these customers, you use the encoded
account number instead of the customer’s credit card number. The issuing bank then
matches the encoded account number to the customer’s credit card number when
processing the payment.
You must contact your processor to obtain the information required for the Credit Card
Encryption program and you must have a relationship with the bank in order to acquire
their list of customers.

In addition to standard single payments, Japanese acquirers support the following
payment options:

Bonus payment

Installment payments (2 to 36 payments)

Revolving repayments
Before using one of these payment options, you must sign a contract with your acquirer.
Additionally, the funding cycle could differ when using these options. Contact your account
provider for details about contracts and funding cycles.
Some acquirers might not support all of these payment options. Additionally, a card holder
must sign a contract with an issuing bank before using one of these payment options.
Therefore, not all card holders take advantage of these payment options. Confirm
payment option availability with your account provider and the card holder before
implementing one of these payment options.
Important
CyberSource accepts requests with these payment options independently of
your agreements with acquirers. If you submit a request with one of these
payment options but do not have the necessary contracts and agreements in
place, an error might not occur until the acquirer processes the settlement file,
which usually occurs only once a month.

request as a single payment.
Verbal Authorizations
When you submit a capture request with a verbal authorization, if the initial authorization
included Japanese payment option fields, the capture request also must include the
Japanese payment option fields.
Stand-Alone Credits
When you perform a stand-alone credit for a transaction that included Japanese payment
option fields, the request for the stand-alone credit must also include the Japanese
payment option fields. When a request for a stand-alone credit is made with CCS (CAFIS)
or JCN Gateway, most acquirers make inquiries about the purpose of such a request.
CyberSource recommends using follow-on credits instead of stand-alone credits
whenever possible.

Before including merchant descriptors in your requests:

Contact FDC Nashville Global to register to use merchant descriptors.

Contact CyberSource Customer Support to have your account enabled for this

Merchant Descriptor Logic
Important
Some of the logic described in this section might not apply to your
implementation depending on which parts of the merchant descriptor
functionality are enabled in your CyberSource account.
Credit Card Services Using the Simple Order API | January 2015

Chapter 5
Optional Features
You are responsible for ensuring that all the merchant descriptor location
information that CyberSource sends to the processor is compatible.
Important
For example, if a request message includes one merchant descriptor location
field, CyberSource might use the information in your CyberSource account to
populate the remaining merchant descriptor location values that it sends to
the processor. CyberSource does not check the merchant descriptor values to
ensure that the combination of values from the request message and from
your CyberSource account are compatible.
To avoid a mismatch of merchant descriptor location values, CyberSource
recommends that you include all the merchant descriptor location fields in a
request or do not include any merchant descriptor location fields in a request.
For authorizations, CyberSource provides merchant descriptor information to FDC
Nashville Global only if you include merchant descriptor information in the authorization
request. For each merchant descriptor, when you do not include the merchant descriptor
value in an authorization request, CyberSource does not send a merchant descriptor
value to FDC Nashville Global.
For captures, CyberSource provides merchant descriptor information to FDC Nashville
Global if you provide merchant descriptor information in the capture request, authorization
request, or your CyberSource account. For each merchant descriptor, when you do not
include the merchant descriptor value in a capture request, CyberSource uses the value
from the authorization request. If you did not include the merchant descriptor value in the
authorization request, CyberSource uses the corresponding value from your CyberSource
account. If the value is not included in your CyberSource account, FDC Nashville Global
uses the value from your First Data merchant master file.
For follow-on credits, CyberSource provides merchant descriptor information to FDC
Nashville Global if you provide merchant descriptor information in the credit request,
capture request, authorization request, or your CyberSource account. For each merchant
descriptor, when you do not include the merchant descriptor value in a follow-on credit
request, CyberSource uses the value from the capture request. If you did not include the
merchant descriptor value in the capture request, CyberSource uses the value from the
authorization request. If you did not include the merchant descriptor value in the
authorization request, CyberSource uses the corresponding value from your CyberSource
account. If the value is not included in your CyberSource account, FDC Nashville Global
uses the value from your First Data merchant master file.
For stand-alone credits, CyberSource provides merchant descriptor information to FDC
Nashville Global if you provide merchant descriptor information in the credit request or
your CyberSource account. For each merchant descriptor, when you do not include the
merchant descriptor value in a stand-alone credit request, CyberSource uses the
corresponding value from your CyberSource account. If the value is not included in your
CyberSource account, FDC Nashville Global uses the value from your First Data
merchant master file.

MasterCard SecureCode adds security to online transactions by authenticating
SecureCode account holders for specific transactions. SecureCode generates a unique,
32-character transaction token, called the account authentication value (AAV), each time a
SecureCode-enabled account holder makes an online purchase. The AAV binds the
account holder to a specific transaction. SecureCode transactions use the universal
cardholder authentication field (UCAF) as a standard to collect and pass AAV data. For
details about signing up for and using SecureCode or UCAF, contact your acquiring bank
or go to the MasterCard web site:
http://www.mastercard.com/
To request the authorization of a MasterCard SecureCode
transaction:
Add the fields in the following table to your ccAuthService request. The values for these
fields are in the reply from the validate authentication service payerAuthValidateService.

You must disclose clearly to customers when they make a purchase what the amount will
be for the recurring payments. If the amount varies based on usage, make it clear.
To create a recurring payment:
Step 1
For the first payment, the type of request you need to send depends on which processor
and card type you are using.

For MasterCard and American Express transactions on FDC Nashville Global, include
the following fields and values in the request for the first payment:
ccAuthService_commerceIndicator=recurring
ccAuthService_firstRecurringPayment=TRUE
card_cvNumber

For all card types on Atos, include the following fields and values in the request for the
first payment:
ccAuthService_commerceIndicator=recurring
ccAuthService_firstRecurringPayment=Y
card_cvNumber

For all other processors and card types, send a regular, non-recurring request for a
credit card authorization.
If the first authorization is successful, you can submit subsequent authorizations for
recurring payments on that card. If the first authorization is not successful, do not submit
subsequent authorizations for that card.
Step 2
For each subsequent recurring payment, send an authorization request using the
e-commerce indicator to indicate the payment is a recurring payment:
ccAuthService_commerceIndicator=recurring

Optional Features
CyberSource also offers services that enable you to create a subscription or customer
profile for a customer in the CyberSource system and then use that subscription or
customer profile later to manually or automatically bill the customer. The CyberSource
system eliminates the need for you to handle or store the customer’s sensitive credit card
information or create your own system for billing the customer on a regular basis. For
more information, see "Payment Tokenization," page 151, and "Recurring Billing,"
page 154.
AVS and Recurring Payments
FDMS Nashville does not support AVS for recurring payments.
Note
If AVS is supported for your processor and card type, AVS is run for every authorization
request that you submit. For recurring payments, check the AVS result for the first
payment to ensure that the payment information is accurate and to reduce the risk of
fraud.
You must decide what to do with the AVS results for subsequent payments. You might
want to ignore the AVS results for the these payments because you have already
confirmed with the first payment that the credit card number is valid and not fraudulent.
When you need to change the credit card number used for a series of recurring payments,
treat the first authorization with the new credit card number as a nonrecurring payment,
and closely evaluate the AVS results. You can then flag the subsequent payments as
recurring payments and ignore the AVS results.
CVN and Recurring Payments
FDMS Nashville does not support CVN for recurring payments.
Note
With Global Collect, you must not include the CVN in a recurring payment request. If you
do, CyberSource rejects the request because of invalid data.

Normally when you request a credit card authorization, you must provide a valid expiration
date for the credit card. If you are processing a recurring payment, and the credit card that
you have on file for the customer has expired, you might still be able to request the
authorization depending on which processor you use. Instead of sending the out-of-date
expiration date, you can include a replacement expiration date in your request.
Important
Do not use a replacement expiration date for cards that have not expired. Use
a replacement expiration date only for cards that have expired and only for
recurring payments.
Using a replacement expiration date for a recurring payment does not
guarantee that the authorization will be successful. The issuing bank
determines whether a card is authorized; some issuing banks do not accept
an expiration date that does not match the expiration date in the bank’s
database.
Important
Effective October 17, 2014, 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.
CyberSource supports the following replacement expiration dates:

12/2021

12/2099—This date is supported only for the processors listed in Table 46.
To use the12/2021 date, include these fields and values in your authorization request:
card_expirationMonth=12
card_expirationYear=2021
To use the 12/2099 date, include these fields and values in your authorization request:

Optional Features
Benefits of Using Split Shipments
The benefits of using split shipments are:

All the transactions for a split shipment are linked together in the Business Center and
in reports.

When you split an order into multiple shipments with multiple captures, you do not
need to request additional authorizations; CyberSource takes care of the additional
authorizations for you.
Requirements
The requirements for using split shipments are:

You must be a GPN acquiring merchant or use CyberSource through VisaNet.

You must contact CyberSource Customer Support to have your account configured for
this feature.
How Split Shipments Work
Additional Authorizations
When you need an additional authorization for an order, you can use the link-to-request
field to link the additional authorization to the first authorization. For the additional
authorization, you must submit an authorization request that includes the link-to-request
field in addition to the basic fields required for every authorization request. The additional
authorization is linked to the original authorization in the Business Center and in reports.
The captures for these authorizations are also linked to the original authorization in the
Business Center and in reports.
For scenarios that use an additional authorization, see the following sections:

"One Authorization and One Sale," page 167

"Two Authorizations and One Capture," page 169
For examples that use an additional authorization, see:

Name-value pair examples: "Split Shipment Examples," page 262

XML examples: "Split Shipment Examples," page 281
Credit Card Services Using the Simple Order API | January 2015
166
Chapter 5
Optional Features
Additional Captures
When you need an additional capture for an order, CyberSource performs a systemgenerated authorization for the additional capture request, using the payment data from
the original authorization. The system-generated authorization is linked to the original
authorization in the Business Center and in reports. The captures are linked to the
authorizations in the Business Center and in reports through the request IDs as with any
capture.
For scenarios that use an additional capture, see the following sections:

"One Authorization and Two Captures," page 168

"Multiple Captures in a Batch File," page 169
For examples that use an additional capture, see:

Name-value pair examples: "Split Shipment Examples," page 262

XML examples: "Split Shipment Examples," page 281
Split Shipment Scenarios
One Authorization and One Sale
In this scenario, your customer orders a product that is not available yet.
1
You request an authorization to ensure that funds are available.
The product is not available for immediate shipment, so you wait for the product to
become available.
2
After the product becomes available, you ship the product and request a sale.
For the second authorization, you must submit an authorization request that includes
the link-to-request field in addition to the basic fields required for every authorization
request. Set the link-to-request field to the request ID from the first authorization’s
reply:
First Authorization Reply Message: requestID=SWVdPS5IM
Second Authorization Request: linkToRequest=SWVdPS5IM
Including the link-to-request field in your authorization request triggers the split
shipment functionality. Because you are requesting the second authorization and
capture together, you do not need to include the request ID in your capture request.
3
CyberSource tries to link the second authorization request to the first authorization:

If the link-to-request value is valid, the second authorization is linked to the
original authorization in the Business Center and in reports.

If the link-to-request value is not valid, the second authorization is not linked to the
original authorization in the Business Center and in reports.
Credit Card Services Using the Simple Order API | January 2015

Chapter 5
4
Optional Features
CyberSource links the capture request:

If the link-to-request value for the second authorization was valid, all three
transactions (first authorization, second authorization, capture) are linked together
in the Business Center and in reports.

If the link-to-request value for the second authorization was not valid, the second
authorization and capture are linked to each other in the Business Center and in
reports, but they are not linked to the first authorization.
One Authorization and Two Captures
In this scenario, your customer orders multiple products, one of which is not available yet.
1
You request an authorization to ensure that funds are available.
2
You ship the available products and request a capture for the amount of the shipped
products.
One of the products is not available for immediate shipment, so you ship the available
products and wait for the remaining product to become available.
3
After the remaining product becomes available, you ship the product and request a
capture for the amount of that product.
4
CyberSource performs a system-generated authorization for the second capture
request.
Because your account is enabled for split shipment, instead of rejecting the capture
request as a duplicate capture, CyberSource processes the capture request as a split
shipment request.
The system-generated authorization is linked to the original authorization in the
Business Center and in reports.
5
CyberSource links the capture request.
The capture is linked to the authorizations in the Business Center and in reports
through the request IDs as with any capture. All four transactions (first authorization,
system-generated authorization, first capture, second capture) are linked together in
the Business Center and in reports.
6
You get the status of the second capture request and its associated system-generated
authorization.
See "Obtaining the Status of a System-Generated Authorization," page 171.


View the report on the Business Center.

Download the report programmatically.
You get the status of your split shipment transactions.
Two Authorizations and One Capture
In this scenario, your customer orders a product that is not available yet.
1
You request an authorization to ensure that funds are available.
The product is not available for immediate shipment, so you wait for the product to
become available.
2
After the product becomes available, you request a second authorization to ensure
that funds are still available.
For the second authorization, you must submit an authorization request that includes
the link-to-request field in addition to the basic fields required for every authorization
request. Set the link-to-request field to the request ID from the first authorization’s
reply:
First Authorization Reply Message: requestID=SWVdPS5IM
Second Authorization Request: linkToRequest=SWVdPS5IM
Including the link-to-request field in your authorization request triggers the split
shipment functionality.


If the link-to-request value for the second authorization was not valid, the second

CHAPTER
Testing the Credit Card
Services
6
To ensure that your requests are processed correctly, you must test the basic success and
error conditions for each CyberSource service you plan to use.
Requirements for Testing
Important
Before you can test, you must contact CyberSource 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.

Use your regular CyberSource merchant ID when you test your system.

Unless otherwise specified, use test credit card numbers, not real ones. See Table 50,
"Test Credit Card Numbers," on page 180.

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.

When testing a Global Collect country-specific credit card, such as Italy’s Carta Si,
specify the appropriate country code when sending the customer’s address and
specify the currency used in that country.

When testing the Simple Order API, use the test URL:
https://ics2wstest.ic3.com/commerce/1.x/transactionProcessor
Note
When you test captures on Global Collect, you must capture the full amount of
the authorization. Although a capture request for a partial amount is not
rejected during testing, it will be rejected by the processor in production.

Testing the Services
Use the credit card numbers in the following table to test the authorization, capture, and
credit services. Do not use real credit card numbers. To test card types not listed in the
table, use an account number that is within the card’s bin range. For best results, try each
test with a different CyberSource service request and with different test credit card
numbers.

Using Amounts to Simulate Errors
You can simulate the CyberSource 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 trigger amounts and responses, see Simple Order API and SOAP Toolkit API Testing
Information page.

Testing the Credit Card Services
Testing American Express Card
Verification
Before using CVN with American Express, CyberSource strongly recommends that you
perform this procedure.
To test American Express card verification:
Step 1
Contact CyberSource Customer Support to have your account configured for CVN. Until
you do this, you will receive a 1 in the ccAuthReply_cvCode reply field.
Step 2
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 credit card account number, and
send an incorrect CVN in the request for authorization. The card should be refused and
the request declined.

Warning Merchant-defined data fields are
not intended to and must not be used to
capture personally identifying information.
Accordingly, merchants are prohibited from
capturing, obtaining, and/or transmitting any
personally identifying information in or via the
merchant-defined data fields. Personally
identifying information includes, but is not
limited to, address, credit card number, social
security number, driver's license number,
state-issued identification number, passport
number, and card verification numbers (CVV,
CVC2, CVV2, CID, CVN). In the event
CyberSource discovers that a merchant is
capturing and/or transmitting personally
identifying information via the merchantdefined data fields, whether or not intentionally,
CyberSource will immediately suspend the
merchant's account, which will result in a
rejection of any and all transaction requests
submitted by the merchant after the point of
suspension.

AVS Codes
E
The AVS code is returned in ccAuthReply_avsCode in the authorization reply message.
See "Address Verification System (AVS)," page 59, for a description of AVS.
When you populate billing street address 1 and billing street address 2,
CyberSource through VisaNet concatenates the two values. If the
concatenated value exceeds 40 characters, CyberSource through VisaNet
truncates the value at 40 characters before sending it to Visa and the issuing
bank. Truncating this value affects AVS results and therefore might also affect
risk decisions and chargebacks.

customer’s credit card:

When the bank is in the U.S., the AVS is domestic.

When the bank is outside the U.S., the AVS is
international.
You should be prepared to handle both domestic and
international AVS result codes:

Frequently Asked Questions
J
What kind of bank account do I need to accept credit card payments?
You need a merchant bank account that is configured to process card-not-present or mail
order/telephone order (MOTO) transactions. See "Acquiring (Merchant) Banks," page 20.
What types of credit cards can my customers use?
CyberSource can accept payments made with numerous types of credit cards, including
Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. In addition, CyberSource can accept
most offline debit cards, which are also known as check cards, many private label cards,
and Level II purchasing cards. Your payment processor can limit the types of cards that
you can accept. See "Payment Processors," page 25, or contact your CyberSource
account representative.
Do I need to sign agreements with the payment card companies?
Some credit card companies, such as American Express and Discover, require you to sign
agreements with them. For other card types, such as Visa and MasterCard, you can
usually sign a single contract with your acquiring bank or payment processor. Your
acquiring bank can help ensure that you sign all of the necessary agreements.
Can I use more than one payment processor or merchant account
provider?
Yes. CyberSource can provide you with multiple CyberSource merchant IDs and configure
each one to use a different payment processor or merchant account provider.
What happens when my customers commit fraud?
You could be liable for fraudulent transactions. When customers complain that you
charged their accounts improperly, you might be required to return their money at your
expense; this is known as a chargeback. If you receive a large number of chargebacks, or
if a large number of your customers commit fraud, your acquiring bank might raise your
fees or revoke your merchant bank account. Contact your CyberSource account
representative for information about CyberSource products that can help prevent fraud.
When do authorizations expire?
Most authorizations expire within five to seven days, but the bank or company that issued
the card decides how long an authorization lasts.
Credit Card Services Using the Simple Order API | January 2015
307
Appendix J
Frequently Asked Questions
When an authorization expires, will I be able to charge my customer?
Yes. CyberSource is not notified when an authorization expires, so it is possible to capture
an expired authorization. However, the capture might be downgraded, which would
increase your fees for the transaction. Additionally, the payment card company can decide
not to capture expired authorizations.
If you believe that an authorization expired, you can request a new authorization, then
capture the new authorization. However, the new authorization could be denied if the
customer’s credit limit has been exceeded, if the card has expired, or if the card has been
cancelled.
Can I reverse an authorization?
Yes. Some processors allow you to reverse an authorization, which releases the hold that
the authorization placed on the customer’s credit card funds. For the list of processors that
allow you to reverse an authorization, see "Reversing an Authorization," page 35.
If your processor does not support authorization reversals and you need to reverse an
authorization, contact the customer’s issuing bank or wait for the authorization to expire.
Can I cancel a capture or credit?
Yes. For some processors, you can use the void service to cancel a capture or credit that
you have previously requested. You must request the void before CyberSource submits
the capture or credit request to your payment processor. See "Voiding a Capture or
Credit," page 57.
How can I prevent my customers from clicking the “Buy” button more
than once?
Use one or more of these options:

After a customer clicks the “Buy” button, send the customer to a new web page

After a customer clicks the “Buy” button, hide or disable the button
The Support Center provides sample JavaScript code to disable the “Buy” button after a
customer clicks it. The code is available at:
http://www.cybersource.com/support_center/implementation/best_practices/
view.xml?page_id=415
Can I change the company name and phone number that appears on
my customers’ credit card statements?
CyberSource permits you to change these values, which are called merchant descriptors,
when you use a payment processor that supports this feature. After your processor
configures the merchant descriptors for your account, you can choose which merchant
descriptor to use every time you request a transaction. You must also contact
CyberSource and your processor to specify default merchant descriptors for your account.
See "Merchant Descriptors," page 108.
Credit Card Services Using the Simple Order API | January 2015

Appendix J
Frequently Asked Questions
When do my capture and credit transactions appear on my
CyberSource reports?
Capture and credit transactions usually appear on your reports two calendar days after
you request them. However, it might take longer for funds to be transferred.
When are funds transferred between my customer’s bank account
and my company’s bank account?
Funds are usually transferred within two to three days after you request a capture or
credit.

APPENDIX
Global Collect Credit Card
Reversals
K
Credit card reversals and requests for information, which are also called retrieval
requests, are business transactions initiated by your customers through their banks. You
can learn more about credit card disputes at Visa USA’s web site:
http://usa.visa.com/merchants/operations/chargebacks_dispute_resolution/
The information in this section is generally applicable to all card types and all operating
regions although certain details can vary.
Requests for Information
Credit card reversals and requests for information involve communication:

Between your customer and the acquiring bank

Between you and Global Collect

Between Global Collect and the acquiring bank
The process is:
1
The acquiring bank notifies Global Collect of your customer’s request for information.
2
Global Collect searches for refunds already processed for the transaction identified by
your customer.
3
Global Collect responds to the acquiring bank stating “already refunded.” Global
Collect does not take any further action because the information request has been
satisfied. Requests for information are not documented within any report.
4
If Global Collect’s research determines that a refund for the inquiry has not been
initiated, Global Collect forwards the retrieval request to you. All requests received
before midnight PT (Pacific Time) are forwarded to you by 0800 PT by email with a
request for additional information. See "Request for Information Example," page 315.
5
A request for information is an impending chargeback. If Global Collect does not
receive your answer by midnight PT before the fifth day, your customer’s bank initiates
a chargeback.

Appendix K
Global Collect Credit Card Reversals
When you receive a request for information, you must respond promptly and with as much
detail as possible:
1
Respond to your customer’s request for information:

Address your email to [email protected].

There is no standard format to follow. However, you should provide as much
information as you have. You should provide scanned copies of delivery receipts
or official banking information with bank letterheads, bank logos, or other official
bank insignia.
2
Global Collect forwards your response by email to the acquiring bank which then
communicates with your customer’s issuing bank.
3
If the information in the response is sufficient in the judgment of the issuing bank or
customer in accordance with MasterCard/Visa/American Express rules, the
chargeback is not executed. The dispute is dropped without further notification to the
acquirer, Global Collect, or you.
Chargebacks
If one of the following situations occurs, then the issuing bank sends a chargeback
(refund) to the customer’s card and debits your account.:

You do not send your response in a timely manner

The information does not satisfy the reasons defined by the card type

Your customer submits a valid claim for refund
If the information you provided in response to the request for information is not satisfactory
or if your customer decides to charge the item back for any reason as defined by the
specific card types, the issuing bank executes a chargeback. This adverse movement of
funds is unavoidable, but can be reversed in some cases. See "Representments,"
page 312.
If Global Collect receives a chargeback by 0800 PT, the amount of the chargeback is
deducted from your account the next business day and is reflected in:

The Transaction Search in the Business Center

The Payment Events Report for that processing day
The chargeback entry includes the reason code for the chargeback. The card types do not
circulate lists of reason codes to merchants. However, notable merchant banks freely
provide detailed explanations of chargeback reason codes on their web sites. This
document provides:

"Chargeback Reason Codes for Visa," page 313

"Chargeback Reason Codes for MasterCard," page 314

Appendix K
Global Collect Credit Card Reversals
Additionally, you can search the Internet for these phrases:

MasterCard chargeback reason code

Visa chargeback reason code
Whenever you receive a chargeback, your account is debited by the full or partial
transaction amount associated with the chargeback. Chargebacks are deducted from the
funding you would normally receive.
Representments
When you or Global Collect disputes the legitimacy of a chargeback, a representment
case is initiated:
1
Global Collect automatically initiates a representment case if your customer initiates a
chargeback for a transaction that has already been refunded by you.
As in all representment cases, there is no assurance that the issuing bank will reverse
the chargeback even in the face of the evidence. However, the chances of success
are excellent. Submitting a representment case does not automatically result in the
debiting of your customer’s account and the crediting of yours.
2
If you want to challenge a chargeback, in other words represent it, then you must do
so very quickly. To optimize your chances for success, you must document your facts
and submit them to Global Collect in five or fewer days after receiving notification of
the chargeback.
For a description of the best practices for avoiding chargebacks and challenging
specious chargebacks, see the Visa web site:
http://usa.visa.com/merchants/operations/chargebacks_dispute_resolution/
Additionally, you can search the Internet for these phrases:
3

fight chargebacks

representment
If your representment case is approved by your customer’s issuing bank, the bank
notifies you by refunding your account for amount of the chargeback. Although it is
inconvenient, the payment card companies and issuing banks do not provide any
other method of notification.
The notification appears as a chargeback withdrawal that is noted in the Payment
Events Report. This event generally takes place 11 to 15 business days after you
submit the representment case information to Global Collect. A chargeback
withdrawal credits the financial status and the subsequent funding event.

Visa and MasterCard International Rules and Regulations specify that Global Collect's
bank must provide a copy of a sales voucher when requested by a cardholder or bank.
Under these regulations, failure to provide a fully legible transaction receipt will result in
the item being returned unpaid to you. In the event that this transaction was hand keyed
into your terminal, you must also supply us with a copy of the manual imprinted voucher
you took, to prove the presence of the card.
Remember to keep all original vouchers for 12 months as per your merchant
