Additional Notes

When a new Shift4 gateway is created, Spreedly makes a request to exchange your client_guid and auth_token credentials for an accessToken in accordance with Shift4 guidelines.

Spreedly will automatically send your accessToken on any subsequent Shift4 transactions, and can be found in the transaction transcript.

Shift4 also support stored credential framework on verify.

If you receive a message of “Unable to communicate with the payment system.” Shift4 recommends querying their Invoice API with the invoice number from the transaction to determine final state.

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.

Gateway specific fields

Spreedly supports the following gateway specific fields when transacting with a Shift4 gateway:

numeric_id
notes
tax
customer_reference
destination_postal_code
product_descriptors
merchant_time_zone
date_time
usage_indicator
indicator
scheduled_indicator
transaction_id

merchant_time_zone supports field values as per the rails documentation mapping of time zones. When no value is passed, this field defaults to Pacific Time (US & Canada) time zone.

Gateway specific response fields

Stored credential transactions should contain a network_transaction_id response field when a transaction succeeds. For example, a transaction could have something like this:

<transaction>
  <token>KuO7X6Vhx6XPof1Goq4sDqI8fMV</token>
  <transaction_type>purchase</transaction_type>
  <gateway_specific_response_fields>
     <shift4>
       <network_transaction_id>Z00000008492780</network_transaction_id>
       <invoice>4666309473</invoice>
       <response_code>A</response_code>
     </shift4>
  </gateway_specific_response_fields>
</transaction>
