Message field overview

Overview

The H2H PayEx link enables authorization and capture of card transactions. Depending on the card, PayEx is either a PSP or the end host (card issuer). The third party host acts as a gateway between payment terminals and PayEx.

The third party host can be a single or dual host system.
PayEx has a fully redundant system, with an active/active configuration.
The third party host(s) connects to a load balancer at PayEx.

Test system

Our test system is reachable over internet.

Host: pospaydirecttx.externaltest.payex.com

TCP Port: 9046

For production, secure connection are required. Contact PayEx for production setup.

Supported message types

Message Type	Reference
1100/1110	AUTHORISATION REQUEST
1200/1210	FINANCIAL TRANSACTION REQUEST
1220/1221/1230	FINANCIAL TRANSACTION ADVICE
1420/1421/1430	REVERSAL ADVICE
1820/1830	NETWORK MANAGEMENT
1520/1521/1530	RECONCILIATION REQUEST (Currently not supported)

Message types included in the table above are supported unless otherwise specified. E-g reconciliation is not currently supported.
Use links to different message types for details on specific messages.
Only the Financial transaction advice (1220), Reversal Advice (1420) use repeat messages(1221 and 1421). Repeats are to be sent according to rules below.

Advice can be declined by PayEx for technical reasons. In this case the third party host need to retry the advice until manual intervention or the advice has been accepted. It’s expected that the third party implement a retry delay with exponential wait period between retires. After 6 retry attempts have failed manual intervention by third party and PayEx support must be initiated.

Message layout

This section covers message types and fields supported by PayEx

Presence	Title	Description
C	Conditional	The data element’s presence depends on specific circumstances, witch are described either directly or by reference in the message content table.
CE	Conditional echo	The response message must have the same data element if the data element was present in the original message
M	Mandatory	Data element must be present in the specified message
ME	Mandatory echo	The response message must have the same data element and value as sent in the original message request or advice message
O	Optional	The data element may or may not be present in the message

Optional fields may always be present in requests, even when not needed. In such case, they will be ignored. Requests received missing a mandatory field will get action code 904 - Format Error.

The third party host must ignore unknown fields included in the response messages.

When no usage notes are given in the field description, the field should be used as described in IFSF [1].

The “Format”-column can contain following info:

LL: Variable length field, max 99 bytes as data. The field contains 2 bytes holding the length of the data. Example: 303101 a one byte field with LL = 3031 and the data is 01.

LLL: Variable length field, max 999 bytes as data. The field contains 3 bytes holding the length of the data. Example: 30303101 a one byte field with LLL = 303031 and the data is 01.

Date/time field formats, YYMMDDhhmmss (or variations), where:

YY : Last 2 digits of the year, 00 through 99

MM: Month, 01 through 12.

DD: Day, 01 through 31

hh: Hour, 00 through 23

mm: Minutes, 00 through 59

ss: Seconds, 00 through 59

The “Type”-column can contain:

a : Alphabetic character [a..z,A..Z]

n : Numeric BCD-digit. [0..9]

ans: alphabetic, numeric and special characters

an : alphabetic and numeric.

s : Special characters.

b : Binary

p: pad character, space

x: “C” for credit, “D” for debit and shall always be associated with a numerical amount data element.

The “Size”-column can contain:

Variable length fields have a size that looks like “..nn”, where nn is the maximum number of characters or bytes.

A fixed length field has “n” as size content, with n the number of characters or bytes.

All fixed length “n” data elements are assumed to be right justified with leading zeroes. All other fixed length data elements are left justified with trailing spaces. In all “b” data elements, blocks of 8 bits are assumed to be left justified with trailing zeroes.

Message protocol

All messages are transferred using TCP/IP sockets.

The message will be encapsulated in a transmission frame as follows:

The first 4 digits contain the length of the message in ASCII (decimal value, most significant digit first). The length field includes all bytes from the first byte of the message ID up to the last byte of the last field.

This 4-digit length field is immediately followed by the message ID, also in ASCII (decimal value, most significant digit first).

An 8 byte message bitmap, which is a binary field (not ASCII encoded).

Message fields, which could be ASCII or binary encoded. The fields with format ‘n, ns, an, ans, anp or x’ are ASCII encoded, while the fields with format ‘b’ are binary encoded. The following conventions shall be applied to all data elements:

All fixed length numeric data element values shall be right justified with leading zeroes.

All fixed length data elements with alphabetic or special characters shall be left justified with trailing blanks.

All fixed length binary data elements shall be right justified with leading zeroes.

The position of a character or a bit in a data element shall be counted from the left beginning with one (1).(See also section 5.1 Attribute specification in [01])

No trailer is included.

Example: An imaginary message which consists only of a message ID “0300” and an empty bitmap (all zeros) will be transmitted as follows:

Length	Message ID	Bitmap
0x30 0x30 0x31 0x32	0x30 0x33 0x30 0x30	0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00

Example: An 1820 message, without MAC, will be transmitted as follows: Message bytes (hex):
303035303138323002300101000000003039313031353238343133383239313030393039313031353238343138333130353130303331

Field	Format	Encoding	Data	Parsed
Message Length	n	ASCII	30303530	0050
Message ID	n	ASCII	31383230	1820
Bitmap	b	Binary	0230010100000000
7 - Date/Time	n	ASCII	30393130313532383431	0910152841

24 - Function code	n	ASCII	383331	831
33 - Forwarding institution identification code	n	ASCII	30323135	15

The PayEx response timeout is set to 35 seconds. If after 35+1 seconds, no response has been received, the third party host needs to take the appropriate action based on the message type. (E.g. send a reversal)

The third party host has the possibility to perform offline stand-in, thought this needs to be agreed with the individual card issuers. Otherwise the merchant might not be reimbursed.

PIN Validation

PayEx perform online PIN validation on payment cards where PayEx is the acquirer, on all other cartds PIN is validated by the third party acuirer. PayEx will not interpret P-22 Point-Of-Service code to determine if it needs to validate PIN or not on PayEx fuel cards, but 3rd patry aquirers might so it's good practice to use P-22 correctly.

Fields required for PIN validation are:

P-48-14 – PIN encryption Methodology

P-52 – PIN data

P-53 – Security related information

See security documentation for details.
