BBVA (formerly CatalunyaCaixa, via Redsys) gateway guide

Additional NotesSHA256 Authentication
Merchants with BBVA can use Spreedly via the Redsys direct API. Contact us or your BBVA account manager if you have any questions.

If you receive error “SIS0252 ERROR: El comercio no permite el envío de tarjeta” the merchant should contact their BBVA account manager. The merchant needs a configuration change in their merchant account to work with Spreedly.
Redsys deprecated SHA1 signature authentication on November 23, 2015. Spreedly has upgraded the Redsys gateway to use SHA256.

Stored credential regulations

For Redsys, sending stored credential fields can be done using Spreedly’s first class support. Sending stored credential data is simple. 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.

MIT exemptions

To utilize MIT Exemptions on Redsys, a Network Transaction ID is required to be associated with the payment method’s Stored Credentials. This Network Transaction ID is recorded on a payment method after performing a successful cardholder-initiated intial 3DS authentication at Redsys.

Please note that payment methods that performed a successful initial 3DS authentication at Redsys before March 22, 2021 may not have a Network Transaction ID recorded. Please perform another CIT 3DS authentication with that payment method to properly record it.

To request an MIT exemption for that payment method on a subsequent transaction, you must set the sca_exemption gateway specific field to the value MIT, and the following Stored Credential values.

  • stored_credential_initiator: 'merchant'
  • stored_credential_reason_type: 'recurring'

This will automatically pass the Network Transaction ID recorded on the payment method as a reference for the exemption.

Third-party 3DS2 auth data

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

Please note that there are three 3DS2 authentication fields that Redsys may require but which are not currently handled by the standard set defined below. These must be sent as gateway specific fields rather than in the three_ds object:

  • authentication_method maps to authenticacionMethod
  • authentication_type maps to authenticacionType
  • authentication_flow maps to authenticacionFlow

Gateway specific fields

Spreedly supports the following gateway specific fields when transacting with a BBVA (via Redsys) gateway:

  • user_agent
  • accept_header
  • use_webservice_endpoint

Both user_agent and accept_header are required when completing a 3DS1 transaction.

use_webservice_endpoint may be set to true to force a transaction to be sent to the Webservice endpoint (https://sis.redsys.es/sis/services/SerClsWSEntradaV2) instead of the Operaciones endpoint, if you know this is necessary.

Gateway specific response fields

A response from a BBVA (via Redsys) gateway may contain a ds_response_int.

You can find this information in 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>
     <redsys>
       <ds_response_int>00</ds_response_int>
     </redsys>
  </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.
