Network Processing Types

Overview

Payment systems categorize transactions based on their purpose and life cycle stage. Initial transactions require explicit authentication and cardholder consent, while recurring transactions rely on pre-approved credentials for seamless subsequent payments.

This topic describes these transactions and the additional parameters to include in these requests.

In our system, the following object is used to specify the transaction processing type:

"networkProcessing": {
    "processingType": "recurring",
    "originalNetworkTransactionId": "483299310358831"
},

There are two parameters, each of which is optional, as is the parent NetworkProcessing object. Possible values for the processingType parameter are listed below. An integer value in () maybe also be used instead of a string value.

• initialRecurring (1) - use this value to specify the initial in a series of recurring payment transactions.
• recurring (2) - use this value for subsequent payments after the initial payment.
• initialInstallment (3) - use this value to specify the first in a series of installment payment transactions.
• installment (4) - use this value to specify subsequent installments after the initial installment.

The originalNetworkTransactionId parameter must contain the Network Transaction Id from the initial/original transaction (Obtaining originalNetworkTransactionId) and therefore can only be used in conjunction with the following processing types: recurring and installment.

If you don't have originalNetworkTransactionId, processor doesn't support, or do not wish to use this option, then just omit the NetworkProcessing object in the request.

🚧

Please note that...

• Processing type is applicable for card payment method only.
• ProcessingType and/or OriginalNetworkTransactionId can be processed only for Visa, Mastercard or Discover transactions.
• If the card brand for the original transaction doesn't match the one for the current transaction, errors might occur.

Obtaining originalNetworkTransactionId

You can obtain an originalNetworkTransactionId in the response at some endpoints intended to make a payment. There you will find the NetworkTransactionId parameter in the response, which is actually the network transaction identifier for the CURRENT transaction and can be used to associate any subsequent transaction with this one.

🚧

Please remember that...

For each payment made through these POST endpoints, you will receive a different NetworkTransactionId that is associated with that particular transaction.

• POST /api/payments/sale
• POST /api/payments/sale/{paymentMethodId}
• POST /api/payments/authorization
• POST /api/payments/authorization/{paymentMethodId}
• POST /api/subscriptions

NetworkTransactionId can also be found in some endpoints that receive entity information:

• GET /api/Invoices/{invoiceId}

Endpoints supporting Network Processing Types

Not all endpoints include the ability to define the NetworkProcessing object, so the following list will help you when you are planning an integration or to understand if you can use this feature in your current integration.

• POST /api/payments/sale
• POST /api/payments/sale/{paymentMethodId}
• POST /api/payments/authorization
• POST /api/payments/authorization/{paymentMethodId}
• POST /api/subscriptions It is only possible to define originalNetworkTransactionId in paymentMethods object.

Processors for which the feature is implemented

This feature currently works for the following processors:

• WorldPay
• Adyen
• Nuvei
• TSYS
• Paymentech
• PaymentLync
• BridgePay

This means that if the request contains a networkProcessing object, this data will be passed to the corresponding processor, otherwise it will not.
