THE SAVE META-DATA FUNCTION

Read the RESTRICTIONS below before using this function. As always, test your forms before making them live.

This simple feature enables merchants to save their own transaction data on the gateway. This feature is typically used to save fields such as the fields requested using the "Passback" function. This data can be used to search for transactions using the advanced transaction search and is displayed in the transaction details page. This data is not currently returned in the CSV report, but is returned in the XML report.

The following fields are already saved on the gateway system and do not need to be requested using this function:

first_name
last_name
address
city
state
zip
country
phone
email

sfname
slname
saddr
scity
sstate
szip
sctry

authcode
cc_last_four
ck_last_four
cc_name
total
when
xid
avs_response
cvv2_response

CONSIDERATIONS/RESTRICTIONS

  • While in test mode, no meta-data is saved. Data is only saved when a transaction processes live.
