Working with Airline Data

This addendum to Credit Card Services Using the SCMP API describes airline data processing with CyberSource. After this introductory chapter, there is a chapter for each processor that supports airline data processing.

 

This CyberSource document provides guidelines based on industry information that indicates which fields are needed to obtain the best interchange rate. The payment card companies can change their requirements at any time; contact your acquirer for the latest information.

 

To use CyberSource Decision Manager for transactions that include airline data, you must use the offer-level passenger fields that are listed in the Decision Manager Using the SCMP API Developer Guide.

Prerequisites

When you are ready to go live with airline data processing, contact CyberSource Customer Support to have your account configured to process airline data. If your account is not enabled, and you try to send airline transactions, you will receive an error for invalid data.
