Adding a Decidir gateway

Spreedly supports the PCI implementation of the Decidir API. This version of the API allows a merchant to include credit card and transaction information in a single API request. The PCI implementation supports using a single API key for each API request.

To add a Decidir gateway you must supply the API key provided by Decidir.

Enabling preauth mode

By default, Decidir gateways support purchase transactions, which executes the authorization and capture of funds in a single step. However, Decidir can be configured to require pre-authorization and capture in two steps. Currently, using the preauth mode means purchase actions are unsupported, and an authorize andcaptureaction must be used for every transaction.

To enable preauth mode, you must make a request to Decidir support to enable pre-authorization and capture for your account, also referred to as transactions in two steps. Decidir will provide an api_key that can only be used for pre-authorization and capture mode. To create a gateway that utilizes preauth mode, use the preauth and capture api_key from Decidir and set the preauth_mode gateway field to true.

Note: Verify transactions require preauth mode to be enabled and are unsupported if not using preauth mode.

For more information, please see the Decidir documentation for completing transactions in two steps.

Partial capture

When pre-authorization and capture is enabled, it is possible to perform a variable or partial capture of the amount that was pre-authorized. Decidir allows merchants to capture an amount equal to, less than, or greater than the pre-authorized amount, based on pre-configured percentage rules. Please contact Decidir support to set up this option.

See the Decidir transactions in two steps documentation for more information.

Gateway specific fields

When interacting with a Decidir gateway to run transactions, there are a number of gateway specific fields you can specify. See below for usage notes for certain fields, and Decidir’s documentation for more information.

payment_method_id - id of the payment method, used for bin validation; defaults to 1
debit - set to true if the payment method is a debit card in order to send the payment_method_id corresponding to the debit version of the identified card brand; defaults to false
payment_type - type of payment, one of single or distributed; defaults to single
installments - number of payment installments; defaults to 1
site_id - the specific merchant site for this transaction; for more information, see the Decidir documentation.
establishment_name - business name
fraud_detection - a container for fraud detection fields; for more information, see the Decidir documentation. These three fraud_detection sub-fields are currently supported:
- send_to_cs
- channel
- dispatch_method
- csmdds
aggregate_data - a container for the fields required for payment aggregators. See the Decidir documentation for more information.
sub_payments - container(s) for sub payments fields. See the Decidir documentation on distributed transactions for more information. These three sub_payments sub-fields are currently supported:
- site_id
- installments
- amount
customer_id - id associated with cardholder
customer_email - email associated with cardholder. Allows for direct pass in to the request if an email was not saved at the time of card tokenization.
wallet_id - optional field to specify payments are from the MODO ecosystem which can help increase authorization rates.

The following fields are provided with Visa transactions for additional validation:

card_holder_identification_type - the card holder’s national identification type; DNI or CUIL
card_holder_identification_number - the card holder’s national identification number
card_door_number - the card holder’s delivery address door number
card_holder_birthday - the card holder’s birthday; formatted as MMDDYYYY

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.

Syncing transactions

Spreedly supports updating the status of transactions that have been initiated at the Decidir gateway. Decidir currently only supports using gateway_transaction_id for updates which would be the payment_id of the order. See our documentation for more information.
