Account checks
An ACCOUNTCHECK request allows a card to be validated by checking the cardholder’s first line of address, the cardholder’s postcode and the security code, to ensure the details entered by the customer are valid. Click here to learn more about the checks performed.
Requirements
- Account checks are only available for certain acquiring banks. Before you begin, please contact our Support Team and ensure your acquiring bank supports this functionality.
- Account checks can only be performed for card-based payment methods.
In order to reduce fraud, Visa has mandated that all merchants with a Merchant Category Code (MCC) of 6012 are required to send additional fields in AUTH and ACCOUNTCHECK requests. Click here for further information.
Failure to submit these fields will result in a “60025” (Invalid request) error being returned in the response.
Update your payment form
You can update your payment form to instruct our JavaScript library to process an Account check prior to performing a standard transaction. This is done by specifying custom requestTypes, as shown in the example below:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div id="st-notification-frame"></div>
<form id="st-form" action="https://www.example.com" method="POST">
<div id="st-card-number" class="st-card-number"></div>
<div id="st-expiration-date" class="st-expiration-date"></div>
<div id="st-security-code" class="st-security-code"></div>
<button type="submit" id="st-form__submit" class="st-form__submit">
Pay securely
</button>
</form>
<script src=<DOMAIN>/js/v2/st.js></script>
<script>
(function() {
var st = SecureTrading({
jwt: 'INSERT YOUR JWT HERE'
});
st.Components({"requestTypes":["ACCOUNTCHECK","THREEDQUERY","AUTH"]});
})();
</script>
</body>
</html>

Using Account Check to verify customer’s details
Follow these instructions when using Account Checks to verify the customer’s details prior to processing a payment.
If you are already processing e-commerce payments using our JavaScript Library, your existing solution can be updated to also submit Account Check requests with minimal changes to the mark-up. Click here to learn more.
Prerequisites
The following content assumes you have obtained the necessary PCI certification to process and submit sensitive cardholder data in the request to our Webservices API.
If you are unsure, please contact our Support Team for assistance.
All businesses within the EEA (European Economic Area) are mandated to use 3-D Secure when processing e-commerce Account Checks, as part of the PSD2 mandate.
To process an e-commerce Account Check that is authenticated with 3-D Secure, you will need to utilise our JavaScript Library instead of the solution described below. Click here to get started.
The following content should only be utilised by merchants processing Account Checks that are Mail or Telephone Order (MOTO), Merchant Initiated Transactions (MIT), or using other workflows that are exempt from the PSD2 mandate.
In order to reduce fraud, Visa has mandated that all merchants with a Merchant Category Code (MCC) of 6012 are required to send additional fields in AUTH and ACCOUNTCHECK requests.
Failure to submit these fields will result in a “60025” (Invalid request) error being returned in the response. Click here for further information.
- Account checks are only available for certain acquiring banks. Before you begin, please contact our Support Team and ensure your acquiring bank supports this functionality.
- Account checks can only be performed for card-based payment methods.
Mandate considerations
Visa and Mastercard have mandated that you must obtain cardholder consent if storing card details for future use, and that these must be flagged at the time of the first authorisation, by submitting the credentialsonfile field in your requests. To do so, you will need to ensure the ACCOUNTCHECK request submitted includes the additional field credentialsonfile, with value set to “1”.
You must also flag any subsequent payments that are utilising previously-stored credentials, by including the credentialsonfile field in these requests with value set to “2”.
Click here to learn more about Credentials on File.
Checks performed
All Account Checks processed will perform checks on the cardholder’s first line of address, the cardholder’s postcode and the security code, to ensure the details entered by the customer are valid.

Process overview
-
- Merchant submits ACCOUNTCHECK request.
- Trust Payments validates the request and contacts the bank.
- The acquiring bank will contact the card issuer to perform AVS and security code checks.
- Trust Payments receives results of the request and passes this back to the merchant.
- Merchant receives and interprets this response.
No funds are reserved by ACCOUNTCHECK requests
The customer’s account is not debited when an ACCOUNTCHECK request is performed.
Similar to standard AUTH requests, AVS and Security Code Checks are performed on ACCOUNTCHECK requests. We recommend reading our documentation on these checks before proceeding.
ACCOUNTCHECK request
The fields required in an ACCOUNTCHECK request are the same as a standard AUTH request, except with the following differences:
- The baseamount can be “0”. A non-zero amount can be submitted – this will be inherited in any subsequent requests that reference this Account check as its parent, unless overridden with a new amount.
- Additional field credentialsonfile must be submitted with value “1”. (See below)
Field specification
| Field | Format | Description | |
 |
credentialsonfile XPath: /operation/credentialsonfile |
Numeric (1) | This must be set to “1”, to indicate the customer agreed for the payment credentials to be stored for future transactions. See below for further information. |
About inheritance
You can submit any field that you can submit in an AUTH request and these will be inherited by any subsequent child requests. Click here to learn more.

Handling the response
- Ensure that the errorcode value returned is “0”, indicating success. (You must not store credentials if an error has occurred)
- Check the values returned in the securityresponseaddress, securityresponsepostcode and securityresponsesecuritycode fields and only proceed if business requirements have been satisfied. (More info provided below)
It is strongly recommended that you check the security fields returned in the response, and manually investigate transactions where the returned securityresponsesecuritycode is “4” (indicating the customer entered a security code that doesn’t match the value found on the back of the card).
| Field | Format | Description | |
 |
securityresponseaddress XPath: /security/address |
Numeric (1) | “0” Not given – Your system did not provide the acquiring bank the information required to perform this check.
“1” Not checked – The acquiring bank did not perform this check on the information you provided in the request. “2” Matched – The information you provided in the request matches the information obtained by the acquiring bank, from the customer’s payment issuer. “4” Not matched – The information you provided in the request does not match the information obtained by the acquiring bank, from the customer’s payment issuer. |
|
securityresponsepostcode XPath: /security/postcode |
Numeric (1) | |
|
securityresponsesecuritycode XPath: /security/securitycode |
Numeric (1) |
Payouts
The following content assumes you have obtained the necessary PCI certification to process and submit sensitive cardholder data in the request to our Webservices API.
If you are unsure, please contact our Support Team for assistance.
Payouts are similar to standard refunds, except they can be performed independently of other transactions. The benefits of performing payouts include:
- The refund amount can be greater than the original payment, if required.
- The refund can be processed before the original payment has been settled into your bank account.
Payouts are also known as Credit Fund Transfers (CFT) or Original Credit Transfers (OCT).
Payouts processed with Visa Direct are processed online, with the customer’s account typically being credited within 30 minutes.
Please contact your account manager to check if you are eligible to enable Visa Direct on your account.
Requirements
You will need to have a CFT Merchant Number associated with your Trust Payments account. If you are unsure if your merchant number supports this, we recommend contacting your bank for clarification. Additionally, please ensure you are following any guidelines outlined by your bank before proceeding.
Payout request
Using parent transaction
- Payouts are performed by processing a REFUND request.
- Like a standard REFUND request, the requesttypedescriptions needs to be “REFUND”.
- The accounttypedescription submitted needs to be “CFT”.
- In this example, the parenttransactionreference is included, which references the original AUTH. This will inherit the payment, billing and customer details from the parent, so your system does not need to submit them again.
The following is an example of such a request:
Ensure the submitted accounttypedescription is “CFT”, otherwise a regular REFUND will be processed instead of a payout.
#!/usr/bin/python import securetrading stconfig = securetrading.Config() stconfig.username = "[email protected]" stconfig.password = "Password1^" st = securetrading.Api(stconfig) payout= { "requesttypedescriptions": ["REFUND"], "sitereference": "test_site12345", "accounttypedescription": "CFT", "parenttransactionreference": "1-2-345678" } strequest = securetrading.Request() strequest.update(payout) stresponse = st.process(strequest) #stresponse contains the transaction response

$response = $api->process($requestData);

Without parent
As an alternative to the above, you can also submit a payout request without reference to a parent transaction. In this scenario, you will instead need to submit the customer’s payment details in the payout request. Please see the following example:
#!/usr/bin/python import securetrading stconfig = securetrading.Config() stconfig.username = "[email protected]" stconfig.password = "Password1^" st = securetrading.Api(stconfig) payout= { "requesttypedescriptions": ["REFUND"], "sitereference": "test_site12345", "accounttypedescription": "CFT", "baseamount": "1050", "currencyiso3a": "GBP", "pan": "4111111111111111", "expirydate": "12/2020", "securitycode": "123" } strequest = securetrading.Request() strequest.update(payout) stresponse = st.process(strequest) #stresponse contains the transaction response

Refunds
The following content assumes you have obtained the necessary PCI certification to process and submit sensitive cardholder data in the request to our Webservices API.
If you are unsure, please contact our Support Team for assistance.
After processing a payment, it is possible to pay the customer back by submitting a REFUND request. This page will walk you through the process.
Process overview
- Merchant submits REFUND request.
- Trust Payments validates the request and contacts the bank.
- Trust Payments processes the refund with the relevant acquirer.
- Trust Payments receives results of the request and passes this back to the merchant.
- Merchant receives and interprets this response.
Requirements
- You cannot refund a payment until Settlement has been performed. You can track the status of a transaction by looking at its settle status. A refund can only be processed if the settle status is “100”, which indicates the funds have been successfully transferred onto your bank account. Click here for further information on settlement.
- You cannot refund a greater amount than was originally settled.
- A refund request will only be successful if the payment details are still valid (e.g. the request will not be successful if the card has passed its expiry date).

The specification of the REFUND response is the same as the standard AUTH response, except the requesttypedescription field has value “REFUND”. You will need to check the fields returned are correct. In particular, ensure the errorcode is “0” (indicating the request was processed successfully) and that the settlestatus is NOT “2” or “3” (indicating funds will not settle).
Additional resources
3-D Secure (version 1)
The following content assumes you have obtained the necessary PCI certification to process and submit sensitive cardholder data in the request to our Webservices API.
If you are unsure, please contact our Support Team for assistance.
The following documentation explains how to manually perform 3-D Secure using version 1 through our Webservices API.
The process described below only supports 3-D Secure version 1.
We recommend all merchants utilise 3-D Secure version 2 by using our JavaScript Library.
If you are already processing e-commerce payments using our JavaScript Library, you do not need to follow the process described below, as the JavaScript Library will handle the 3-D Secure process automatically.
3-D Secure is a protocol designed to reduce fraud and chargebacks during e-commerce transactions. It allows Mastercard and Visa card issuers to provide an extra level of protection, by authenticating the customer’s identity at the point of sale, sometimes by prompting for a previously-agreed PIN and/or password.
For a fully authenticated 3-D Secure transaction, in the event of a dispute at a later date the card issuer will usually take responsibility of the chargeback instead of the merchant. The liability issues involved with 3-D Secure transactions can be found in this FAQ.
Process overview
Check customer enrolment
- Your system will need to send a THREEDQUERY request using our Webservices API (including the customer’s card details) and interpret the response returned.
- Trust Payments will check whether the customer’s card is enrolled in 3-D Secure.
Authenticate the customer
If the customer is enrolled in 3-D Secure, your system will need to redirect the customer to the card issuer’s server (ACS URL) and handle the customer being redirected to your server (Term URL).
Authorisation
Your system will need to send an AUTH request using our Webservices API and interpret the response returned.
1. Check customer enrolment
To determine whether or not the customer’s card is enrolled in the 3-D Secure scheme, you need to manually submit a THREEDQUERY request using our Webservices API.
THREEDQUERY Request
The following example demonstrates how to structure a THREEDQUERY request:
#!/usr/bin/python import securetrading stconfig = securetrading.Config() stconfig.username = "[email protected]" stconfig.password = "Password1^" st = securetrading.Api(stconfig) threedquery= { "termurl":"https://termurl.com", "accept":"text/html,*/*", "pan": "4111111111111111", "expirydate": "12/2020", "securitycode": "123", "currencyiso3a":"GBP", "requesttypedescriptions": ["THREEDQUERY"], "accounttypedescription":"ECOM", "sitereference": "test_site12345", "baseamount": "1050" } strequest = securetrading.Request() strequest.update(threedquery) stresponse = st.process(strequest) #stresponse contains the transaction response
<?php
if (!($autoload = realpath(__DIR__ . '/../../../autoload.php')) && !($autoload = realpath(__DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php'))) {
throw new Exception('Composer autoloader file could not be found.');
}
require_once($autoload);
$configData = array(
'username' => '[email protected]',
'password' => 'Password1^',
);
$requestData = array(
'termurl' => 'https://termurl.com',
'accept' => 'text/html,*/*',
'pan' => '4111111111111111',
'expirydate' => '12/2020',
'securitycode' => '123',
'currencyiso3a' => 'GBP',
'requesttypedescriptions' => array('THREEDQUERY'),
'accounttypedescription' => 'ECOM',
'sitereference' => 'test_site12345',
'baseamount' => '1050'
);
$api = \Securetrading\api($configData);
$response = $api->process($requestData);
var_dump($response->toArray());
?>
curl --user [email protected]:Password1^ https://webservices.securetrading.net/json/ -H "Content-type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json" -X POST -d '{ "alias": "[email protected]", "version": "1.00", "request": [{ "termurl":"https://termurl.com", "accept":"text/html,*/*", "pan": "4111111111111111", "expirydate": "12/2020", "securitycode": "123", "currencyiso3a":"GBP", "requesttypedescriptions": ["THREEDQUERY"], "accounttypedescription":"ECOM", "sitereference": "test_site12345", "baseamount": "1050" }]}'
Here is the specification of the fields included in the THREEDQUERY request described above:
When reading the field specifications included on this page, please ensure that you reference the relevant code examples for your chosen language.
Key
| Field name | Type | Length | Request | Description |
| accept | Alphanumeric | 1024 |  |
The exact content of the HTTP accept-header field as received from the cardholder’s user agent. |
| accounttypedescription | Alpha | 20 | |
This must be submitted as “ECOM” (e-commerce). |
| baseamount | Numeric | 13 | |
The amount of the transaction in base units, with no commas or decimal points, so £10 is submitted as 1000. This value must be greater than zero. (Max length may vary depending on your acquiring bank – Contact your bank for further info) |
| currencyiso3a | Alpha | 3 | |
The currency that the transaction will be processed in. |
| expirydate | Date MM/YYYY | 7 | |
The expiration date printed on the card. |
| pan |
Numeric | 12-19 | |
This is the long number printed on the front of the customer’s card.
We return a masked version of this PAN in the response, in the field maskedpan. e.g. “411111######1111” |
| requesttypedescriptions | Alpha | 20 | |
The request type required is “THREEDQUERY”. |
| securitycode |
Numeric | 3-4 | |
This is the three digit security code printed on the back of the card. (For AMEX cards, this is a 4 digit code found on the front of the card)This field is not strictly required field by Trust Payments, but it is highly recommended for the processing of security code checks.Additionally, some banks may decline the payment if the security code is not present. |
| sitereference | Alphanumeric including underscore |
50 | |
The site reference relates to your individual account which you received on setup. If you do not know your site reference, please contact our Support team. |
| termurl | URL | 1024
More info |
|
This field value is a URL of a script/file located on your system that is able to manage customers who are returned to your system. It is used to instruct the card issuer where to send the customer’s browser after they have been authenticated on the card issuer’s ACS. |
| useragent | Alphanumeric | 255 |  |
The exact content of the HTTP user-agent header field as received from the cardholder’s user agent. We strongly recommend you submit this field, as failure to do so may forfeit the liability shift. |
THREEDQUERY Response
This section documents how to interpret a THREEDQUERY response, which is used to indicate whether or not the customer’s card is enrolled in the card issuer’s 3-D Secure scheme.
The acsurl, md and pareq fields are only returned in a THREEDQUERY response for enrolled cards.
The example below demonstrates the structure of a THREEDQUERY response, indicating that the customer’s card is enrolled in a 3-D Secure scheme:

The md and pareq typically contain values far longer than displayed in the example above and therefore have been abbreviated, for your convenience.
Check the error code field value
If the errorcode value returned in the response is not ‘0’, an error has occurred. If an errorcode other than ‘0’ is returned, please consult the table below and attempt to resolve the issue:
| Error code | Description |
| 0 | Request was successful. |
| 30000 | Invalid field. |
| 60031 | The THREEDQUERY request used a payment type that is not supported by Trust Payments 3-D Secure. |
| other | Other errors will require further investigation. Click here for a full list of possible error codes. |
If you were unable to resolve the issue, you can instruct your system to perform a standard AUTH without using 3-D Secure.
When performing an AUTH request without 3-D Secure, this will result in forfeiting the liability shift.
Check the enrolled field value
If the enrolled value returned in the response is “Y”, the customer’s card is enrolled in 3-D secure. Please refer to the following table for enrolled values:
| Enrolled | Description | Action |
| Y | The card is enrolled in the card issuer’s 3-D Secure scheme. | Send the customer to the card issuer’s Access Control Server (ACS). The URL for the ACS is provided in the acsurl of the THREEDQUERY response. |
| N | The card is not enrolled in the card issuer’s 3-D Secure scheme. | Perform an AUTH Request, including the transactionreference returned in the THREEDQUERY response (example can be found below). |
| U | The card’s enrolment in the card issuer’s 3-D Secure scheme could not be determined. | This typically indicates a temporary problem with the card issuer’s systems. You can configure your system to resubmit the same THREEDQUERY request. If this continues to fail, submit a standard AUTH request using our Webservices API, including the transactionreference returned in the THREEDQUERY response. |
Here is the specification of the fields included in the THREEDQUERY response described above:
Key
| Field name | Type | Length | Response | Description |
| requesttypedescription | Alpha | 20 | |
“THREEDQUERY” is always returned in the response. |
| xid | Alphanumeric | 255 | |
The unique identifier for the transaction, assigned by the MPI (Merchant Plug-In) (in this case, Trust Payments). |
| enrolled | Char | 1 | |
Determines if the cardholder is enrolled in a 3-D Secure scheme.
|
| pareq | Alphanumeric including symbols | 2048 | |
The unique identifier for the transaction, assigned by the MPI (Merchant Plug-In) (in this case, Trust Payments). |
| md | Alphanumeric including symbols | 1024 |  |
Returned if card is enrolled.
The unique 3-D Secure reference for this transaction. |
| acsurl | URL | 1024 | |
Returned if card is enrolled.
The URL of the Access Control Server (ACS) to be used in authenticating the cardholder. |
| threedversion | Numeric | 6 | |
Only returned for accounts with certain acquiring banks.
The version of the 3-D Secure protocol. |
Your progress
Following the instructions above, your system should now be able to determine whether or not a customer’s card is enrolled in a 3-D Secure scheme. If the customer’s card is enrolled, follow the “Authenticate the customer” section below, otherwise skip ahead to the “Authorisation” section.
2. Authenticate the customer
Only attempt to authenticate the customer if their card is confirmed to be enrolled in a 3-D Secure scheme.
If the card is not enrolled, skip ahead to the “Authorisation” section.
If the customer is enrolled in the card issuer’s 3-D Secure scheme, your system must send the customer’s browser to the card issuer-hosted Access Control Server (ACS) using an HTTPS POST. The URL for the ACS can be found in the acsurl field of the THREEDQUERY response.
On the ACS, the customer will be authenticated, sometimes by prompting for a previously-agreed PIN and/or password. The browser must send data from the termurl, pareq and md in HTML fields ‘TermUrl’, ‘PaReq’ and ‘MD’, respectively (These field names are case sensitive).
The size of the ACS page displayed in the customer’s browser is controlled by the ACS provider (cannot be modified by merchants or Trust Payments). As a guideline, Visa and Mastercard both state that the Verified by Visa authentication window should be 390×400 pixels in size
Following authentication, the customer will be returned to your servers using an HTTPS POST. You will need to parse this response, as it will contain the ‘PaRes’ and ‘MD’ fields, for constructing the subsequent AUTH Request needed to process the payment.
When the customer’s browser is redirected to your server from the ACS, please be aware that some ACS will also include a field called “realPan”, which contains the customer’s card number in plain text. It is imperative that you do not store the value of realPan on your own server.
The following is an example of how to redirect the cardholder to the card issuer’s ACS :
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN'>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Processing payment</title>
<style type="text/css">
h3,h3,h4 { font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif;
font-weight: normal;}
#logo {float: left;}
</style>
</head>
<body OnLoad="document.form.submit();" >
<form name="form" id="form" action="$acsurl" method="POST">
<div>
<input type="hidden" name="PaReq" value="$pareq" />
<input type="hidden" name="TermUrl" value="$termurl" />
<input type="hidden" name="MD" value="$md" />
</div>
<noscript>
<div>
<h3>JavaScript is currently disabled or is not supported by your browser.</h3>
<h4>Please click Submit to continue processing your 3-D Secure transaction.</h4>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</div>
</noscript>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Referencing 3-D Secure transactions
In most circumstances, your system will need to store data about the transaction in your database while the customer is being authenticated on the card issuer’s ACS, to be retrieved when the customer returns to your system via the termurl. As the 3-D Secure specification requires that only the md and pares fields are returned to your system, it is recommended that the md field is used to look up any corresponding customer session to complete the transaction.
Waiting for the customer to return from the ACS
Your system will need to consider the length of time it may take for the customer to enter their details on the card issuer’s ACS. The time the customer will spend on the ACS will depend on a number of factors. Longer wait times may occur when the customer is signing up to a 3-D Secure scheme for the first time, or recovering a forgotten password. While your system needs to allow time for the customer to return, it is entirely possible for the customer to close their browser on the card issuer’s ACS and not return at all. There are no specific regulations as to how long your system must wait for the customer to be redirected from the ACS to your Term URL, but we recommend waiting for no more than two hours.
Your progress
Following the instructions above, your system should now be able to redirect the browsers of customers with cards enrolled in a 3-D Secure scheme to the ACS for authentication. Your system can now proceed and submit an AUTH request using our Webservices API to process the payment, by following the instructions below.
3. Authorisation
3-D authorisations are used to seek authorisation for authenticated transactions from your acquiring bank. This is performed by manually submitting an AUTH Request using our Webservices API and interpreting the response returned.
AUTH Request
For enrolled cards only
The following example demonstrates how to structure a 3-D AUTH request when the card is enrolled in a 3-D Secure scheme:
#!/usr/bin/python import securetrading stconfig = securetrading.Config() stconfig.username = "[email protected]" stconfig.password = "Password1^" st = securetrading.Api(stconfig) auth= { "requesttypedescriptions": ["AUTH"], "md":"UEZOVVBqeE5SRDQ4VFVSSVBrRjVXSGhOZFZReVUzVlalBVeE", "pares":"eJzVWFmzosgSfudXdPQ8Gt1sbkzYRhQ7KCjI/sYOsimgoL/+lp7Tp5" } strequest = securetrading.Request() strequest.update(auth) stresponse = st.process(strequest) #stresponse contains the transaction response
<?php
if (!($autoload = realpath(__DIR__ . '/../../../autoload.php')) && !($autoload = realpath(__DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php'))) {
throw new Exception('Composer autoloader file could not be found.');
}
require_once($autoload);
$configData = array(
'username' => '[email protected]',
'password' => 'Password1^',
);
$requestData = array(
'requesttypedescriptions' => array('AUTH'),
'md' => 'UEZOVVBqeE5SRDQ4VFVSSVBtSllOVTlMYVdaUlJXWnZVRTA0UVdwVlJXZFpRo5cEk9',
'pares' => 'eJztWEnTqsi2nfMrKqqGxik6UajwJFCOxLb5BNvgHdPneIihB/fq2eNv777/BdaScGg='
);
$api = \Securetrading\api($configData);
$response = $api->process($requestData);
var_dump($response->toArray());
?>
curl --user [email protected]:Password1^ https://webservices.securetrading.net/json/ -H "Content-type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json" -X POST -d '{ "alias": "[email protected]", "version": "1.00", "request": [{ "requesttypedescriptions": ["AUTH"], "md":"UEZOVVBqeE5SRDVS1FLVG9aenQrRGhaNk1NPQ==", "pares":"eJztWMmyq7iynfMVFVVDxyk6Y0OX0U1wTQ==" }]}'
The md and pares fields typically contain values far longer than displayed in the example above and therefore have been abbreviated for your convenience. When submitting these fields, your system must submit their full values, unmodified.
For non-enrolled cards only
For cards that are NOT enrolled in the card issuer’s 3-D Secure scheme (or have unknown enrolment), you will need to submit the following fields in order to inherit transaction information needed to perform the authorisation:
#!/usr/bin/python import securetrading stconfig = securetrading.Config() stconfig.username = "[email protected]" stconfig.password = "Password1^" st = securetrading.Api(stconfig) auth= { "requesttypedescriptions": ["AUTH"], "sitereference": "test_site12345", "parenttransactionreference": "1-2-345678" } strequest = securetrading.Request() strequest.update(auth) stresponse = st.process(strequest) #stresponse contains the transaction response
<?php
if (!($autoload = realpath(__DIR__ . '/../../../autoload.php')) && !($autoload = realpath(__DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php'))) {
throw new Exception('Composer autoloader file could not be found.');
}
require_once($autoload);
$configData = array(
'username' => '[email protected]',
'password' => 'Password1^',
);
$requestData = array(
'requesttypedescriptions' => array('AUTH'),
'sitereference' => 'test_site12345',
'parenttransactionreference' => '1-2-345678'
);
$api = \Securetrading\api($configData);
$response = $api->process($requestData);
var_dump($response->toArray());
?>
curl --user [email protected]:Password1^ https://webservices.securetrading.net/json/ -H "Content-type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json" -X POST -d '{ "alias": "[email protected]", "version": "1.00", "request": [{ "requesttypedescriptions": ["AUTH"], "sitereference": "test_site12345", "parenttransactionreference": "1-2-345678" }]}'
Inheritance
The example AUTH requests shown above (both enrolled and not-enrolled) contain all the fields that are required for submission. All other information required to seek authorisation will be inherited from the previous THREEDQUERY request stored on our system.
We allow the submission of additional fields in the AUTH request that have not been submitted in the THREEDQUERY request (e.g. the customer name, if omitted in the query).
Click here for a full list of fields that can be submitted in an AUTH request.
Here is the specification of the fields included in the AUTH requests described above:
Key
| Field name | Type | Length | Request | Description |
| pares | Alphanumeric including symbols | 1024 | |
Only send if card is enrolled.
Must be the value returned in the pares field of the HTTPS POST from the card issuer’s ACS, otherwise this may forfeit the liability shift. |
| md | Alphanumeric including symbols | 65536 | |
Only send if card is enrolled.
The unique 3-D Secure reference for this transaction. Supplied if enrolled is “Y” |
| parenttransactionreference | Alphanumeric including hyphens | 25 | |
Only send if card is NOT enrolled.
Unique reference of the parent THREEDQUERY request. |
| sitereference | Alphanumeric including underscore | 50 | |
Only send if card is NOT enrolled.
The site reference processing the transaction. |
AUTH Response
The data returned in the AUTH response will depend on both the card enrollment status, and whether or not the customer was successfully authenticated on the card issuer’s ACS.
Your system should be able to interpret the response data in each of the following scenarios.

Managing authorisation response
Your system will need to interpret the AUTH response in order to determine if the transaction was successful. The most important field to check in the response is the errorcode.
| Error code | Description |
| 0 | Cardholder was successfully authenticated on the card issuer’s ACS. Customer’s bank authorised the transaction. Funds will be transferred. |
| 70000 | Cardholder was successfully authenticated on the card issuer’s ACS. Customer’s bank declined the transaction. Funds will NOT be transferred. |
| 60022 | Cardholder was NOT successfully authenticated on the card issuer’s ACS. Trust Payments did not contact the acquiring bank to seek authorisation. Funds will NOT be transferred. |
| 99999 | An error code of ‘99999’ indicates an unknown error occurred, which requires manual inspection. We recommend contacting our Support Team for assistance, providing a copy of the entire request submitted and the response returned. In the interest of security, ensure you omit or mask sensitive field values, such as card details. |
