Purchase

NEW!   We now have our Interactive tool for this section.

A Purchase verifies funds on the customer’s card, removes the funds and prepares them for deposit into the merchant’s account.

Purchase - Transaction Values

Purchase purchase = new Purchase();

HttpsPostRequest mpgReq = new HttpsPostRequest();

mpgReq.setTransaction(purchase);

Purchase object mandatory values

Value Type Limits Set method Description
Order ID String 50-character alphanumeric purchase.setOrderId(order_id); Merchant-defined transaction identifier that must be unique for every Purchase, Pre-Authorization and Independent Refund transaction. No two transactions of these types may have the same order ID.

For Refund, Completion and Purchase Correction transactions, the order ID must be the same as that of the original transaction.

The last 10 characters of the order ID are displayed in the “Invoice Number” field on the Merchant Direct Reports. However only letters, numbers and spaces are sent to Merchant Direct.

A minimum of 3 and a maximum of 10 valid characters are sent to Merchant Direct. Only the last characters beginning after any invalid characters are sent. For example, if the order ID is 1234-567890, only 567890 is sent to Merchant Direct.

If the order ID has fewer than 3 characters, it may display a blank or 0000000000 in the Invoice Number field.
Amount String 10-character decimal purchase.setAmount(amount); Transaction amount

This must contain at least 3 digits, two of which are penny values.

The minimum allowable value is $0.01, and the maximum allowable value is $9999999.99. Transaction amounts of $0.00 are not allowed.
Credit card number String 20-character numeric purchase.setPan(pan); Most credit card numbers today are 16 digits, but some 13-digit numbers are still accepted by some issuers. This field has been intentionally expanded to 20 digits in consideration for future expansion and potential support of private label card ranges.
Expiry date String 4-character numeric
YYMM format.
purchase.setExpdate(expdate); Submit in YYMM format.
Note: This is the reverse of the date displayed on the physical card, which is MMYY.
E-Commerce indicator String 1-character alphanumeric purchase.setCryptType(crypt);

Describes the category of e-commerce transaction being processed. Allowable values are:


  • 1 - Mail Order / Telephone Order—Single
  • 2 - Mail Order / Telephone Order—Recurring
  • 3 - Mail Order / Telephone Order—Instalment
  • 4 - Mail Order / Telephone Order—Unknown classification
  • 5 - Authenticated e-commerce transaction (VBV)
  • 6 - Non-authenticated e-commerce transaction (VBV)
  • 7 - SSL-enabled merchant

In Credential on File transactions where the request field e-commerce indicator is also being sent: the allowable values for e-commerce indicator are dependent on the value sent for payment indicator, as follows:


if payment indicator = R, then allowable values for e-commerce indicator: 2, 5 or 6
if payment indicator = C, then allowable values for e-commerce indicator: 1, 5, 6 or 7
if payment indicator = U, then allowable values for e-commerce indicator: 1 or 7
if payment indicator = Z, then allowable values for e-commerce indicator: 1, 5, 6 or 7

Purchase optional values

Value Type Limits Set method Decription
Status Check Boolean true/false mpgReq.setStatusCheck (status_check); Status Check is a connection object value that allows merchants to verify whether a previously sent transaction was processed successfully. To submit a Status Check request, resend the original transaction with all the same parameter values, but set the status check value to either true or false. Once set to “true”, the gateway will check the status of a transaction that has an order_id that matches the one passed.
  • If the transaction is found, the gateway will respond with the specifics of that transaction.
  • If the transaction is not found, the gateway will respond with a not found message.
  • Once it is set to “false”, the transaction will process as a new transaction.
Things to consider:
  • The Status Check request should only be used once and immediately (within 2 minutes) after the last transaction that had failed.
  • Do not resend the Status Check request if it has timed out. Additional investigation is required.
Customer ID String 50-character alphanumeric purchase.setCustId(cust_id); This can be used for policy number, membership number, student ID, invoice number.

This field is searchable from the Moneris Merchant Resource Centre.
COF Info Object purchase.setCofInfo(cof); Refer to Purchase with Credential on File
Dynamic descriptor String 20-character alphanumeric purchase.setDynamicDescriptor ("2134565"); Merchant defined description sent on a per-transaction basis that will appear on the credit card statement.  Dependent on the card Issuer, the statement will typically show the dynamic descriptor appended to the merchant's existing business name separated by the "/" character.  Please note that the combined length of the merchant's business name, forward slash "/" character, and the dynamic descriptor may not exceed 22 characters.

-Example-

Existing Business Name:  ABC Painting

Dynamic Descriptor:  Booking 12345

Cardholder Statement Displays:  ABC Painting/Booking 1               
Wallet Indicator String 3-character alphanumeric purchase.setWalletIndicator(wallet_indicator); Available to Canada integrations only. This field is applicable to Visa Checkout and MasterCard MasterPass transactions whereby the merchant has integrated directly to the Visa/MC wallet to retrieve the card data and is now submitting it for processing. This is a mandatory field for these Visa Checkout and MasterCard MasterPass transactions.
Field is a case sensitive. Possible value:
  • APP = Apple Pay In-app
  • APW = Apple Pay On the Web
  • GPP = Google Pay In-app
  • GPW = Google Pay On the Web

Please note, if the Convenience Fee is set, then Recurring Billing is not supported.

Purchase With Customer Information

The Customer Information object is an optional add-on to a number of transactions. The Customer Information object offers a number of fields to be submitted as part of the financial transaction, and stored by Moneris. These details may be viewed in the future in the Merchant Resource Center.

In addition to instantiating a transaction object and a connection object (as you would for a normal transaction), you must instantiate a CustInfo object. Any transaction that supports CustInfo has a setCustInfo method. This is used to write the customer information to the transaction object.

The Customer Information object holds three types of information:

  • Miscellaneous customer information properties
  • Billing/Shipping information
  • Item information

Things to consider:

  • If you send characters that are not included in the allowed list, these extra transaction details may not be stored.
  • All fields are alphanumeric and allow the following characters: a-z A-Z 0-9 _ - : . @ $ = /
  • All French accents should be encoded as HTML entities, such as é
  • The data sent in Billing and Shipping Address fields will not be used for any address verification.

Setting Billing & Shipping using Set Methods

The billing information and the shipping information for a given CustInfo object are written by using the customer.setBilling() and customer.setShipping() methods respectively:

customer.setBilling(first_name, last_name, company_name, address, city, province, postal_code, country, phone, fax, tax1, tax2, tax3, shipping_cost);

customer.setShipping(first_name, last_name, company_name, address, city, province, postal_code, country, phone, fax, tax1, tax2, tax3, shipping_cost);

Both of these methods have the same set of mandatory arguments.

Setting Billing & Shipping using Hash Tables

Writing billing or shipping information using hash tables is done as follows:

  1. Instantiate a CustInfo object.
  2. Instantiate a Hashtable object. (The sample code uses a different hash table for billing and shipping for clarity purposes. However, the skillful developer can re-use the same one.)
  3. Build the hashtable using put methods with the hash table keys in the table below.
  4. Call the CustInfo object's setBilling()/setShipping() method to pass the hashtable information to the CustInfo object
  5. Call the transaction object's setCustInfo() method to write the CustInfo object (with the billing/shipping information to the transaction object.

Billing & Shipping mandatory values

Value Type Limits Variable/Hash Table Key Description
First Name String 30-character alphanumeric "first_name" Customer first name
Last Name String 30-character alphanumeric "last_name" Customer last name

Shipping Cost String 10-character alphanumeric "shipping_cost" Shipping cost. Amount is not used for calculating total amount.

Setting Items using Set Methods

All the item information in the table below is written to the CustInfo object in one instruction for a given item. Multiples items may be set. Such as:

customer.setItem(item_description, item_quantity, item_product_code, item_extended_amount);

Setting Items using Hash Tables

Writing item information using hash tables is done as follows:

  1. Instantiate a CustInfo object.
  2. Instantiate a Hashtable object. (The sample code uses a different hash table for each item for clarity purposes. However, the skillful developer can re-use the same one.)
  3. Build the hashtable using put methods with the hash table keys in the table below.
  4. Call the CustInfo object's setItem() method to pass the hashtable information to the CustInfo object
  5. Call the transaction object's setCustInfo() method to write the CustInfo object (with the item information to the transaction object.

Item mandatory values

Value Type Limits Variable/Hash Table Key Description
Item Name String 45-character alphanumeric "name" Item name or description.
Item Quantity String 5-character numeric "quantity" You must send a quantity > 0 or the item will not be added to the item list (i.e. minimum 1, maximum 99999)
Item Product Code String 20-character alphanumeric "product_code" Item product code or SKU.
Item Extended Amount String 9-character decimal "extended_amount" Must contain at least 3 digits and 2 penny values.

0.01-999999.99

Purchase with CVD & AVS

The Card Validation Digits (CVD) value refers to the numbers appearing on the back of the credit card rather than the numbers imprinted on the front. It is an optional fraud prevention tool that enables merchants to verify data provided by the cardholder at transaction time. This data is submitted along with the transaction to the issuing bank, which provides a response indicating whether the data is a match.

The response that is received from CVD verification is intended to provide added security and fraud prevention, but the response itself does not affect the completion of a transaction. Upon receiving a response, the choice whether to proceed with a transaction is left entirely to the merchant. The response is not a strict guideline of which transaction will approve or decline.

Address Verification Service (AVS) is an optional fraud-prevention tool offered by issuing banks whereby a cardholder's address is submitted as part of the transaction authorization. The AVS address is then compared to the address kept on file at the issuing bank. AVS checks whether the street number, street name and zip/postal code match. The issuing bank returns an AVS result code indicating whether the data was matched successfully. Regardless of the AVS result code returned, the credit card is authorized or declined by the issuing bank.

The response that is received from AVS verification is intended to provide added security and fraud prevention, but the response itself does not affect the completion of a transaction. Upon receiving a response, the choice to proceed with a transaction is left entirely to the merchant. The responses is not a strict guideline of whether a transaction will be approved or declined.

Things to consider:

  • CVD is only supported by Visa, MasterCard, Discover, JCB, American Express and UnionPay.
  • AVS is only supported by Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express.
  • When testing CVD or AVS, you must only use the Visa test card numbers 4242424242424242 or 4005554444444403, and the amounts described in the Simulator eFraud Response Codes Table
  • For a full list of possible AVS & CVD result codes refer to the CVD AVS Result Code table

Security:The CVD value must only be passed to the payment gateway. Under no circumstances may it be stored for subsequent uses or displayed as part of the receipt information.

Note:Please be advised that CVD results will NOT be returned in the response for UnionPay.

Purchase - Transaction Values

Purchase purchase = new Purchase();

HttpsPostRequest mpgReq = new HttpsPostRequest();

mpgReq.setTransaction(purchase);

Purchase object mandatory values

Value Type Limits Set method Description
Order ID String 50-character alphanumeric purchase.setOrderId(order_id); Merchant-defined transaction identifier that must be unique for every Purchase, Pre-Authorization and Independent Refund transaction. No two transactions of these types may have the same order ID.

For Refund, Completion and Purchase Correction transactions, the order ID must be the same as that of the original transaction.

The last 10 characters of the order ID are displayed in the “Invoice Number” field on the Merchant Direct Reports. However only letters, numbers and spaces are sent to Merchant Direct.

A minimum of 3 and a maximum of 10 valid characters are sent to Merchant Direct. Only the last characters beginning after any invalid characters are sent. For example, if the order ID is 1234-567890, only 567890 is sent to Merchant Direct.

If the order ID has fewer than 3 characters, it may display a blank or 0000000000 in the Invoice Number field.

Value Type Limits Set method Decription
Status Check Boolean true/false mpgReq.setStatusCheck (status_check); Status Check is a connection object value that allows merchants to verify whether a previously sent transaction was processed successfully. To submit a Status Check request, resend the original transaction with all the same parameter values, but set the status check value to either true or false. Once set to “true”, the gateway will check the status of a transaction that has an order_id that matches the one passed.
  • If the transaction is found, the gateway will respond with the specifics of that transaction.
  • If the transaction is not found, the gateway will respond with a not found message.
  • Once it is set to “false”, the transaction will process as a new transaction.
Things to consider:
  • The Status Check request should only be used once and immediately (within 2 minutes) after the last transaction that had failed.
  • Do not resend the Status Check request if it has timed out. Additional investigation is required.
Customer ID String 50-character alphanumeric purchase.setCustId(cust_id); This can be used for policy number, membership number, student ID, invoice number.

Purchase with Credential on File

When storing Customer’s credentials for use in future authorizations, or when using these credentials in subsequent transactions, card brands now require merchants to indicate this in the transaction request.


Things to consider:

  • While the requirements for handling credential on file transactions relate to Visa, Mastercard and Discover only, in order to avoid confusion and prevent error, please implement these changes for all card types and the Moneris system will then correctly flow the relevant card data values as appropriate
  • When initially storing cardholder credentials, please be sure to adhere to the following:
    1. Obtain the cardholder’s card verification digits(CVD).
    2. Issuer ID will be sent without value for the initial transaction.
    3. The payment information field will always be a value of 0.
    4. Include cardholder consent prior to cardholder data being stored.
    5. Financial transaction must be approved before storing.

Note:Credential on file transactions are available to Canada Integrations only.

Definitions of Request Fields – Credential on File
Variable Name Type Limits Decription
Issuer ID

NOTE: This variable is required for all merchant- intiated transactions following the first one; upon sending the first transaction, the Issuer ID value is received in the transaction response and then used in subsequent transaction requests (Issuer ID does not apply for Discover or Union Pay).

String 15-character alphanumeric

Variable length

Unique identifier for the cardholder's stored credentials

Sent back in the response from the card brand when processing a Credential on File transaction

If the cardholder's credentials are being stored for the first time, and the issuer ID was returned in the response, you must save the issuer ID on your system to use in subsequent Credential on File transactions (applies to merchant-initiated transactions only)

The issuer ID must be saved to your systems when returned from Moneris Gateway in the response data, regardless if the value was received or not

As a best practice, if the issuer ID is not returned and you received a value of NULL instead, store that value and send it in the subsequent transaction

Purchase with Recurring Billing

NEW!   We now have our Interactive tool for this section.

Verifies funds on the customer’s card, removes the funds and prepares them for deposit into the merchant’s account.

Recurring Billing allows you to set up payments whereby Moneris automatically processes the transactions and bills customers on your behalf based on the billing cycle information you provide.

In addition to instantiating a transaction object and a connection object (as you would for a normal transaction), you must instantiate a Recur object. This object has a number of mandatory properties that must be set.

Any transaction that supports Recurring Billing has a setRecur method. This is used to write the Recurring Billing information to the transaction object before writing the transaction object to the connection object.

Things to consider:

  • To avoid shifting, do not set the start_date after the 28th if the recur_unit is month. To set the billing date for the last day of the month, set recur_unit to eom.

A minimum of 3 and a maximum of 10 valid characters are sent to Merchant Direct. Only the last characters beginning after any invalid characters are sent. For example, if the order ID is 1234-567890, only 567890 is sent to Merchant Direct.

If the order ID has fewer than 3 characters, it may display a blank or 0000000000 in the Invoice Number field.
Amount String 10-character decimal purchase.setAmount(amount); Transaction amount This must contain at least 3 digits, two of which are penny values.

The minimum allowable value is $0.01, and the maximum allowable value is $9999999.99. Transaction amounts of $0.00 are not allowed.
Credit card number String 20-character numeric purchase.setPan(pan); Most credit card numbers today are 16 digits, but some 13-digit numbers are still accepted by some issuers. This field has been intentionally expanded to 20 digits in consideration for future expansion and potential support of private label card ranges.
Expiry date String 4-character numeric

YYMM format.
purchase.setExpdate(expdate); Submit in YYMM format.

Note: This is the reverse of the date displayed on the physical card, which is MMYY.
E-Commerce indicator String 1 - character alphanumeric purchase.setCryptType(crypt);

Describes the category of e-commerce transaction being processed. Allowable values are:


  • 1 - Mail Order / Telephone Order—Single
  • 2 - Mail Order / Telephone Order—Recurring (Variable)
  • 3 - Mail Order / Telephone Order—Instalment
  • 4 - Mail Order / Telephone Order—Unknown classification
  • 5 - Authenticated e-commerce transaction (3-D Secure)
  • 6 - Non-authenticated e-commerce transaction (3-D Secure)
  • 7 - SSL-enabled merchant

In Credential on File transactions where the request field e-commerce indicator is also being sent: the allowable values for e-commerce indicator are dependent on the value sent for payment indicator, as follows:


if payment indicator = R, then allowable values for e-commerce indicator: 2, 5 or 6
if payment indicator = V, then allowable values for e-commerce indicator: 2, 5 or 6
if payment indicator = C, then allowable values for e-commerce indicator: 1, 5, 6 or 7
if payment indicator = U, then allowable values for e-commerce indicator: 1 or 7
if payment indicator = Z, then allowable values for e-commerce indicator: 1, 5, 6 or 7

Purchase optional values

Value Type Limits Set method Decription
Status Check Boolean true/false mpgReq.setStatusCheck (status_check); Status Check is a connection object value that allows merchants to verify whether a previously sent transaction was processed successfully. To submit a Status Check request, resend the original transaction with all the same parameter values, but set the status check value to either true or false. Once set to “true”, the gateway will check the status of a transaction that has an order_id that matches the one passed.
  • If the transaction is found, the gateway will respond with the specifics of that transaction.
  • If the transaction is not found, the gateway will respond with a not found message.
  • Once it is set to “false”, the transaction will process as a new transaction.
Things to consider:
  • The Status Check request should only be used once and immediately (within 2 minutes) after the last transaction that had failed.
  • Do not resend the Status Check request if it has timed out. Additional investigation is required.
Customer ID String 50-character alphanumeric purchase.setCustId(cust_id); This can be used for policy number, membership number, student ID, invoice number.

This field is searchable from the Moneris Merchant Resource Centre.
Dynamic descriptor String 20-character alphanumeric purchase.setDynamicDescriptor ("2134565"); Merchant defined description sent on a per-transaction basis that will appear on the credit card statement.  Dependent on the card Issuer, the statement will typically show the dynamic descriptor appended to the merchant's existing business name separated by the "/" character.  Please note that the combined length of the merchant's business name, forward slash "/" character, and the dynamic descriptor may not exceed 22 characters.

Purchase with Convenience Fee

The Convenience Fee program allows merchants to apply an additional charge to a customer’s bill (with their consent) for the convenience of being able to pay for goods and services using an alternative payment channel. This applies only when providing a true convenience in the form of a channel outside the merchant's customary face-to-face payment channels.

The convenience fee is a charge in addition to what the consumer is paying for the provided goods/services. This charge appears as a separate line item on the consumer’s statement.

The Convenience Fee program provides several benefits. It may allow you an opportunity to reduce or eliminate credit card processing fees and improve customer satisfaction.

In addition to instantiating a transaction object and a connection object (as you would for a normal transaction), you must instantiate a ConvFeeInfo object. This object has one mandatory value that must be set:

Please Note: You must be to view this content. Please or sign up.

Purchase with 3-D Secure

The Purchase with 3-D Secure transaction follows a 3-D Secure MPI authentication. After receiving confirmation from the MPI ACS transaction, this Purchase verifies funds on the customer’s card, removes the funds and prepares them for deposit into the merchant’s account.

To perform the 3-D Secure authentication, the Moneris MPI or any 3rd party MPI may be used.

In addition to 3-D Secure transactions, this transaction can also be used to process Apple Pay and Google Pay™ transactions. This transaction is applicable only if choosing to integrate directly to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet (if not using the Moneris Apple Pay or Google Pay™ SDKs).

Refer to Apple or Google developer portals for details on integrating directly to their wallets to retrieve the payload data.

NOTE: Moneris strongly discourages the use of frames as part of a 3-D Secure implementation, and cannot guarantee their reliability when processing transactions in the production environment.

Once set to “true”, the gateway will check the status of a transaction that has an order_id that matches the one passed.
  • If the transaction is found, the gateway will respond with the specifics of that transaction.
  • If the transaction is not found, the gateway will respond with a not found message.
  • Once it is set to “false”, the transaction will process as a new transaction.
Things to consider:
  • The Status Check request should only be used once and immediately (within 2 minutes) after the last transaction that had failed.
  • Do not resend the Status Check request if it has timed out. Additional investigation is required.

Purchase with Vault

NEW!   We now have our Interactive tool for this section.

This transaction uses the data key to identify a previously registered credit card profile. The details saved within the profile are then submitted to perform a Purchase transaction.

The data key may be a temporary one generated using Hosted Tokenization or it may be a permanent one from the Vault.

The Vault feature allows merchants to create long term customer profiles, edit those profiles, and use them to process transactions without having to enter financial information each time.

The only difference between charging a temporary token and charging a standard Vault token is whether the expiry date is sent. With the Vault token, the expiry date is stored along with the card number as part of the Vault profile. Therefore, there is no need to send the expiry date again with each normal Vault transaction.

However, a temporary token transaction may have only stored the card number. Therefore, in this scenario the expiry date must be sent when you charge the card.

Purchase with Vault optional values

VALUE TYPE LIMITS SET METHOD DECRIPTION
Status Check Boolean true/false mpgReq.setStatusCheck (status_check); Status Check is a connection object value that allows merchants to verify whether a previously sent transaction was processed successfully. To submit a Status Check request, resend the original transaction with all the same parameter values, but set the status check value to either true or false. Once set to “true”, the gateway will check the status of a transaction that has an order_id that matches the one passed.
  • If the transaction is found, the gateway will respond with the specifics of that transaction.
  • If the transaction is not found, the gateway will respond with a not found message.
  • Once it is set to “false”, the transaction will process as a new transaction.
Things to consider:
  • The Status Check request should only be used once and immediately (within 2 minutes) after the last transaction that had failed.
  • Do not resend the Status Check request if it has timed out. Additional investigation is required.
Expiry Date String 4-character numeric resPurchaseCC.setExpDate(expdate); The optional Expiry Date applies to Hosted Tokenization transactions. If the expiry date was not collected by Hosted Tokenization solution, then it must be set in the Vault transaction request.
Customer ID String 50-character alphanumeric resPurchaseCC.setCustId(cust_id); This can be used for policy number, membership number, student ID, invoice number.
This field is searchable from the Moneris Merchant Resource Centre.
Dynamic descriptor String 20-character alphanumeric resPurchaseCC.setDynamicDescriptor ("2134565"); Merchant defined description sent on a per-transaction basis that will appear on the credit card statement.  Dependent on the card Issuer, the statement will typically show the dynamic descriptor appended to the merchant's existing business name separated by the "/" character.  Please note that the combined length of the merchant's business name, forward slash "/" character, and the dynamic descriptor may not exceed 22 characters.

-Example-

Existing Business Name:  ABC Painting

Dynamic Descriptor:  Booking 12345

Setting Billing & Shipping using Set Methods

The billing information and the shipping information for a given CustInfo object are written by using the customer.setBilling() and customer.setShipping() methods respectively:

customer.setBilling(first_name, last_name, company_name, address, city, province, postal_code, country, phone, fax, tax1, tax2, tax3, shipping_cost);

customer.setShipping(first_name, last_name, company_name, address, city, province, postal_code, country, phone, fax, tax1, tax2, tax3, shipping_cost);

Both of these methods have the same set of mandatory arguments.

Setting Billing & Shipping using Hash Tables

Writing billing or shipping information using hash tables is done as follows:

  1. Instantiate a CustInfo object.
  2. Instantiate a Hashtable object. (The sample code uses a different hash table for billing and shipping for clarity purposes. However, the skillful developer can re-use the same one.)
  3. Build the hashtable using put methods with the hash table keys in the table below.
  4. Call the CustInfo object's setBilling()/setShipping() method to pass the hashtable information to the CustInfo object
  5. Call the transaction object's setCustInfo() method to write the CustInfo object (with the billing/shipping information to the transaction object.

Purchase with Vault and Recurring Billing

NEW!   We now have our Interactive tool for this section.

This transaction uses the data key to identify a previously registered credit card profile. The details saved within the profile are then submitted to perform a Purchase transaction.

The data key may be a temporary one generated using Hosted Tokenization or it may be a permanent one from the Vault.

The Vault feature allows merchants to create customer profiles, edit those profiles, and use them to process transactions without having to enter financial information each time.

The Vault is a complement to the recurring payment module. It securely stores customer account information on Moneris secure servers. This allows merchants to bill customers for routine products or services when an invoice is due.

This transaction allows the merchant to process a Purchase transaction using a data key to reference the card number already on file. In addition, it also registers a new recurring billing profile where going forward Moneris will automatically process the recurring transaction and will bill customers on your behalf based on the billing cycle information you provide.

In addition to instantiating a transaction object and a connection object (as you would for a normal transaction), you must instantiate a Recur object. This object has a number of mandatory properties that must be set.

Any transaction that supports Recurring Billing has a setRecur method. This is used to write the Recurring Billing information to the transaction object before writing the transaction object to the connection object.

Things to consider:

  • To avoid shifting, do not set the start_date after the 28th if the recur_unit is month. To set the billing date for the last day of the month, set recur_unit to eom.

VALUE TYPE LIMITS SET METHOD DESCRIPTION
Data Key String 25-character alphanumeric resPurchaseCC.setData(data_key); The data key is the token that points to a previously stored profile. Profile identifier that all future financial Vault transactions (that is, they occur after the profile was registered by a ResAddCC or ResTokenizeCC transaction) will use to associate with the saved information.
The data key is generated by Moneris, and is returned to the merchant (via the Receipt object) when the profile is first registered.
Order ID String 50-character alphanumeric resPurchaseCC.setOrderId(order_id); Merchant-defined transaction identifier that must be unique for every Purchase, Pre-Authorization and Independent Refund transaction. No two transactions of these types may have the same order ID.

For Refund, Completion and Purchase Correction transactions, the order ID must be the same as that of the original transaction.

The last 10 characters of the order ID are displayed in the “Invoice Number” field on the Merchant Direct Reports. However only letters, numbers and spaces are sent to Merchant Direct.

A minimum of 3 and a maximum of 10 valid characters are sent to Merchant Direct. Only the last characters beginning af
