CommerceHub gateway guide

Additional notes
In order to have an extra security layer for sensitive information, Commerce Hub recommends using additional keys in order to encrypt credit card data. To get the set of keys associated to the specific merchant (Encoded Public Key, Encryption Type, Key Id) these should be requested through a specific endpoint and include the fields in credentials during the process of gateway creation. Additional information about the keys can be found on this site.
For Commerce Hub billing information is important to provide in the transaction request because it can be used for Address Verification Services as a fraud prevention. Additional information about the address can be found on this site.

Adding a CommerceHub gateway

Third-party 3DS2 auth data

Spreedly will automatically handle the field mapping for sending third-party 3DS2 authentication data to Commerce Hub. For more information about how to use this feature, see the 3DS2 third-party authentication guide. Spreedly fields map to the relevant Commerce Hub fields as described in the following table. Please see Commerce Hub’s transaction variable documentation for detailed descriptions of each of these fields and when to use them.

Spreedly fieldCommerceHub field
directory_server_transaction_iddsTransactionId
authentication_response_statusauthenticationStatus
three_ds_server_trans_idserverTransactionId
acs_transaction_idacsTransactionId
authentication_valuempiData.cavv
ecommerce_indicatormpiData.eci
xidmpiData.xid
three_ds_versionversionData.recommendedVersion

Important note: The field xid is only optional for American Express, if available the customer should send it. For clarity, xid is not needed for Mastercard or Visa and the field should not be sent if the customer doesn’t provide it for American Express.

Stored credentials

For Commerce Hub, sending stored credential fields can be done using Spreedly’s first class support. For any Authorize or Purchase request, you need to include two fields which tell Spreedly a little bit more about the nature of the transaction:

  • stored_credential_initiator
  • stored_credential_reason_type

Learn more about how Spreedly enables use of stored credentials by reviewing our Stored Credentials guide.

Gateway specific fields

Spreedly supports the following gateway specific fields when transacting with a CommerceHub gateway:

  • origin
  • eci_indicator
    Options:
    SECURE_ECOM - Frictionless approved
    NON_AUTH_ECOM – Attempted
    CHANNEL_ENCRYPTED - Declined / unavailable but merchants want to override authentication status and continue authorization. This option is the default.
  • pos_condition_code
  • pos_entry_mode
  • data_entry_source
  • physical_goods_indicator
  • scheme_reference_transaction_id

Spreedly also supports the following gateway specific fields for CommerceHub’s dynamic descriptors:

  • mcc
  • merchant_name
  • customer_service_number
  • service_entitlement
  • dynamic_descriptors_address

The dynamic_descriptors_address field should contain nested subfields that match CommerceHub’s camel case address fields:

Gateway specific response fields

A response from CommerceHub gateway may contain stan field, which you can find in the gateway_specific_response_fields. For example, a transaction could have something like this:

<transaction>
  <token>LgpTNGjsWQs9DwdxcbreUVz0R8p</token>
  <transaction_type>Purchase</transaction_type>
  <gateway_specific_response_fields>
     <commerce_hub>
       <stan>04321</stan>
     </commerce_hub>
  </gateway_specific_response_fields>
</transaction>

To request any gateway_specific_fields or gateway_specific_response_fields, please contact Support with your request and the gateway documentation for the fields of interest.
