Descriptors

Checkout.com allows you to specify a descriptor_name and descriptor_city. These descriptors will be shown on a customer’s credit card statement. Please note that they are codependent; if you provide one of these fields, a value for the other is required or Checkout.com will fail the transaction.

Card On File Requirements

Checkout.com allows you to specify multiple fields to assist in satisfying requirements set by both Visa and Mastercard. The details on these requirements can be found on Checkout.com’s documentation site.

card_on_file: By default this field is set to true since Spreedly stores the card details before sending to Checkout.com. Specify false to override this field.
transaction_indicator: The type of transaction being authorizated. By default this field is set to 1, a regular transaction. 2 can be specified for recurring or 3 for MOTO.
previous_charge_id: Used to reference either the previous transaction or the opening transaction of a payment plan. The previous_charge_id is the chargeId issued after the authorization of the relevant payment. By default this field is not sent to Checkout.com.

Gateway specific response fields

A response from Checkout.com may contain a response_message field that presents risk response messages.

You can find this information in gateway_specific_response_fields. For example, a transaction could have something like the following:

<transaction>
  <token>LgpTNGjsWQs9DwdxcbreUVz0R8p</token>
  <transaction_type>Purchase</transaction_type>
  <gateway_specific_response_fields>
     <checkout_v2>
       <response_message>Card velocity - Monthly - All transactions</response_message>
     </checkout_v2>
  </gateway_specific_response_fields>
</transaction>

3DS exemptions

Checkout.com has systems in place to ensure that correct transaction types and exemption scenarios are flagged. However, there are some circumstances where particular fields need to be sent, as outlined below:

MOTO

Set transaction_indicator to 3 to mark your transaction as MOTO.

MIT

Set transaction_indicator to 2 to mark your transaction as recurring. Also send the previous_charge_id, corresponding to either the previous transaction or the opening transaction of the payment series (e.g. pay_B41BEAAC175U76BD3EE1).
