OrderCreateRequest Payment Examples

The Payments element in OrderCreateRequest can contain different element types depending on the payment methods. Each of these types have different information that is expected. This page will cover some examples of the different payment types.

CreditCard Visa

The How to Build an Order Create API Request page uses a visa credit card in its example.

CreditCard American Express

An American Express credit card requires some extra data that other credit cards do not require. A PhoneResponseCode, NameResponseCode, and EmailResponseCode come back from CreditCardAuthReply; these elements must be copied as-is to the OrderCreateRequest for fraud processing. See mapping.
