Stored credentials
For Shift4 gateway, sending stored credential fields can be done using Spreedly’s first class support. Sending stored credential data is simple. For any Authorize
, Purchase
, or Verify
request, you need to include these fields which tell Spreedly a little bit more about the nature of the transaction:
stored_credential_initiator
stored_credential_reason_type
Learn more about how Spreedly enables seamless use of stored credentials by reviewing our Stored Credentials Guide.
Bank Account Transactions
To utilize ACH processing with Shift4 through Spreedly, you must ensure two key steps. Firstly, validate your ACH payment methods in accordance with NACHA guidelines before submitting your request. Please note that Spreedly does not support the use of Shift4’s account validation flows. Secondly, ensure that bank account payment method has been enabled in your account.
ACH payment methods can only be used in Store, Purchase, and Refund transactions.
To process bank account transactions, some Spreedly fields that usually are optional are mandatory:
ip
(defaults to 127.0.0.1)billing_address.country
email
Gateway specific fields
When interacting with a Shift4 gateway to run transactions, there are many gateway specific fields you can specify when making a call:
