Custom Fields

You may want to use further fields to gather additional customer data geared towards your business specialty, or to gather additional customer demographic data which you can then store in your own database for future analysis. You can send as many custom fields to the payment Gateway as you wish, and they will get returned along with all other fields to the response URL.

Up to ten custom fields can be submitted in a way that they will be stored within the the Gateway so that they appear in the Virtual Terminal's Order Detail View as well as in the response to Inquiry Actions that you send through our Web Service API.

Field NameDescription, possible values and format
customParam_keyIf you want to use this feature, please send the custom fields in the format customParam_key=value

The maximum length of a custom parameter is 100 characters
Example: <input type="hidden" name="customParam_color" value="green"/>

🚧

To remain compliant the custom fields are not to be used to submit credit card detail or sensitive card holder information, please use the designated fields defined by the Gateway for this purpose.

Payment Methods

If your customers select the payment method within your webstore and you post a HTML form to initiate the payment, your request needs to contain a value for the parameter paymentMethod.

If you do not submit this parameter, a hosted form will be displayed to your customer to make the selection based on the payment methods that have been activated for your Store ID.

Server-to-server Notification

In addition to the response you received in hidden fields to your responseSuccessURL or responseFailURL, the Gateway can send server-to-server notifications with the above result parameters to a defined URL. This is useful to keep your systems in sync with the status of a transaction. To use this notification method, you can specify an URL in the Customisation section of the Virtual Terminal or submit the URL in the following additional transaction parameter transactionNotificationURL.

Please note, that:
• The transaction URL is sent as received therefore please don’t add additional escaping (e.g.: using %2f for a Slash(/).
• No SSL handshake or verification of SSL certificates will be done in this process.
• The notification URL needs to listen on port 443 (https) – other ports are not supported.

The response hash parameter for validation (using the same algorithm that you have set in the transaction request) notification_hash is calculated as follows:

chargetotal|currency|txndatetime|storename|approval_code

Shared secret (sharedsecret) will be used as a key in HMAC to calculate the hash with the above hash string.

Such notifications can also be set up for the recurring payments that get automatically triggered by the Gateway. Please contact your local support team to get a shared secret (rcpSharedSecret) agreed for these notifications. You can configure your Recurring Transaction Notification URL (rcpTransactionNotificationURL) in the Customisation section of the Virtual Terminal.

In case of the recurring transactions the response hash parameter notification_hash is calculated differently as follows:

chargetotal+rcpSharedSecret+currency+txndatetime+storename+approval_code

The shared secret (rcpSharedSecret) is part of the string (it is not used as a key in HMAC to calculate the hash with the hash string). Moreover, the response hash parameter for the recurring transaction notifications is calculated with the SHA256-value (as the default value).

Visa AFT

Purchasing Cards

Purchasing Cards offer businesses the ability to allow their employees to purchase items with a credit card while providing additional information on sales tax, customer code etc. When providing specific details on the payment being made with a Purchasing Card favourable addendum interchange rates are applied.

There are three levels of details required for Purchasing Cards:
• Level I - The first level is the standard transaction data; no enhanced data is required at this level.
• Level II - The second level requires that data such as tax amount and customer code be supplied in addition to the standard transaction date. (Visa only have a level II option)
• Level III - The third level allows a merchant to pass a detailed accounting of goods and services purchased to the buyer. All the data for Level I and Level II must also be passed to participate in Level III. (Visa and MasterCard).

You can submit Level II and Level III data in your transaction request using the following parameters:

Field NameDescription
pcCustomerReferenceIDMerchant-defined reference for the customer that will appear on the customer’s statement.
pcSupplierInvoiceNumberMerchant-defined reference for the invoice, e.g.: invoice number.
pcSupplierVATRegistrationNumberThe Identification number assigned by the taxing authorities to the merchant.
pcTotalDiscountAmountThe total discount amount applied to a transaction (i.e.: total transaction percentage discounts, fixed transaction amount reductions or summarization of line item discounts).
pcTotalDiscountRateThe rate of the discount for the whole transaction.
pcVatShippingRateThe total freight/shipping amount applied to the transaction. Merchants can choose to deliver the contents of a single transaction in multiple shipments and this field reflects the total cost of those deliveries.
pcVatShippingAmountThe total freight/shipping amount applied to the transaction. Merchants can choose to deliver the contents of a single transaction in multiple shipments and this field reflects the total cost of those deliveries.

Hash Validation

Make sure to use the parameter response_hash to recheck if the received transaction response has really been sent by Fiserv to protect you from fraudulent manipulations. The value is created with a HMAC Hash using the following parameter string:

   approval_code|chargetotal|currency|txndatetime|storename

Shared secret (sharedsecret) will be used as a key in HMAC to calculate the hash with the above hash string. The hash algorithm is the same as the one that you have set in the transaction request.

Please note that you have to implement the response hash validation, when doing so remember to store the txndatetime that you have submitted with the transaction request in order to be able to validate the response hash. Furthermore, you must always use the https-connection (instead of http) to prevent eavesdropping of transaction details.

You can also use the parameter extended_response_hash to include all response parameters in the hash calculation. Please contact your local support team if you want to enable this feature. This will be managed with a specific setting performed on your account (service configuration extendedResponseHashSupported).


Creating the extended response hash:

  • Step 1: Retrieve all non-empty Gateway specified response parameters and then remove the parameter extended_response_hash from your list, so that it will not get included in the hash calculation. Consider also that shared secret will be used as a key in HMAC to calculate the hash and the hash algorithm must be the same as the one that you have set in the transaction request.
  • Step 2: Sort the response parameters in ascending order of the parameter names, where the upper-case characters come before the lower case (based on ASCII value). Join the parameters’ values to one string with pipe separator (use only parameters’ values and not the parameters’ names).
  • Step 3: Pass the created string to the HMAC algorithm while using shared secret (‘sharedsecret’) as a key for calculating the hash value.
  • Step 4: Encode the result of HMAC with Base64 to generate the extended response hash. Only HMAC algorithm (i.e.: HMACSHA256, HMACSHA384 or HMACSHA512) is supported for generating the extended response hash.
