Information about the payment type selected by the payer for this payment and the source of the funds.

Depending on the payment type the source of the funds can be a debit or credit card, bank account, or account with a browser payment provider (such as PayPal).

For card payments the source of funds information may be represented by combining one or more of the following: explicitly provided card details, a session identifier which the gateway will use to look up the card details and/or a card token. Precedence rules will be applied in that explicitly provided card details will override session card details which will override card token details. Each of these may represent partial card details, however the combination must result in a full and complete set of card details. See Using Multiple Sources of Card Details for examples.

sourceOfFunds.provided Copied to clipboard OPTIONAL

Information about the source of funds when it is directly provided (as opposed to via a token or session).

For browser payments, the source of funds details are usually collected from the payer on the payment provider's website and provided to you when you retrieve the transaction details (for a successful transaction). However, for some payment types (such as giropay), you must collect the information from the payer and supply it here.

sourceOfFunds.provided.card Copied to clipboard OPTIONAL

Contains card details

sourceOfFunds.provided.card.accountType Copied to clipboard Enumeration OPTIONAL

Type of the bank account associated with the card.

Provide this information for Maestro cards.

Value must be a member of the following list. The values are case sensitive.

sourceOfFunds.provided.card.emvRequest Copied to clipboard String OPTIONAL

This field only applies to transactions that originate from an EMV capable terminal.

It contains selected EMV fields as provided by the terminal.

For the list of field tags to include (if provided by the terminal), see Card Present Payments. Requests with any other tags are rejected by the gateway.

Some of the tags represent data that can occur on explicit fields in this API. You can submit the value either in this field, or in both places. For example, the PAN can be presented as EMV tag 5A in this field, or included both the sourceOfFunds.provided.card.number API field and in EMV tag 5A in this field.

If you specify the EMV tag only, we can populate the explicit field in the API. Fields where this is supported have the text "This field corresponds to EMV tag <tag name>" in their field descriptions.

If you specify both places, there will be no population of the explicit field or validation that the data matches.

The API response will not contain PCI sensitive fields.

Data can consist of any characters

Min length: 1 Max length: 250

The Funding Primary Account Number (FPAN) of the payer's account in 6.4 masking format, for example, 000000xxxxxx0000.

You should use this value for display on confirmation or receipt pages presented to the payer.

RequestNormally you do not need to populate this field, as the gateway will populate this field in the session, and populate it into the payment request when you submit the payment using the session. You would only provide this value, if you had access to FPAN information that was not available to the gateway. On responses, the gateway populates it with a form that the payer would recognize (also explained in more detail below).

Retrieve session response

The gateway always populates this field with its best understanding of the masked FPAN.If you are showing PAN data from the session to the payer, then use this field rather than sourceOfFunds.provided.card.number from the session. This is because this field contains a PAN that the payer will recognize whereas sourceOfFunds.provided.card.number could contain a scheme token, or device PAN which the payer will not recognize. After the payment is processed, the gateway will populate the sourceOfFunds.provided.card.number in the payment response with its best understanding of the masked FPAN. You can show this value to the payer after the payment is complete. This logic also applies to the maskedFpanExpiry field.

Data is a string that consists of the characters 0-9, plus 'x' for masking
