the transaction. Refer to the
Getting Started with
Advanced
guide. IMPORTANT
Depending on the values in your account, there might be
a requirement for this field's value to be unique within a 15-minute period. Contact
customer support to find out whether this requirement applies to your account.
- PIN Debit Transactions
- Requests for PIN debit reversals must include the same merchant reference number that was used in the transaction that is being reversed.
- During card-not-present transactions, certain circumstances can cause the processor to truncate this value to 15 or 17 characters for Level II and Level III processing, which can cause a discrepancy between the value you submit and the value included in some processor reports.
- During card-present transactions, when you do not send a valid value, one is created for you. However, the value is not returned, so you cannot use it to track the order.
- When a card-present request does not include a merchant reference number, this value is provided by the client software that is installed on the POS terminal.
