Dear Authorize.Net Shopping Cart Provider:
<p>
Authorize.Net has recently released several new payment gateway services including support for the cardholder authentication programs Verified by Visa and MasterCard<sup>®</sup> SecureCode<sup>TM</sup> and an exclusive Fraud Detection Suite to help merchants identify and prevent fraudulent transactions. As a result, there are a few additional data fields and values you will need to support to provide these services to your merchants.
</p><p>
The fields are:
</p><p>
<ul>
<li> x_authentication_indicator (Cardholder Authentication Programs, Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode)</li>
<li>x_cardholder_authentication_value (Cardholder Authentication Programs, Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode)</li>
<li>x_cavv_response (response field) (Cardholder Authentication Programs, Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode)</li>
<li>x_customer_ip (Support for this field is currently required for Wells Fargo SecureSource transactions, but is now required for all transactions in conjunction with the Authorize.Net Fraud Detection Suite.)</li>
<li>x_recurring_billing (This field is now required when x_echeck_type = WEB)</li>
</ul>
</p><p>
In addition, the following new values should be supported:
</p><p>
<ul>
<li>Response reason codes 116-119 for Cardholder Authentication Programs, Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode</li>
<li>Response reason codes 250-254 for Fraud Detection Suite (FDS) settings</li>
<li>For the x_bank_account_type field, BUSINESS CHECKING</li>
<li>For the x_echeck_type field, CCD, PPD, TEL</li>
</ul>
</p><p>
For specific information about new field requirements, please see the updated <a href="http://www.authorizenet.com/support/AIM_guide_SCC.pdf" target="new">SCC AIM Implementation Guide</a>.
</p><p>
Authorize.Net strongly encourages you to build support for these data fields into your current or next product development cycle to maintain compliance with your Authorize.Net Shopping Cart Certification (SCC). <b>You will be required to re-certify your shopping cart by March 1, 2005 to validate support for SCC requirements implemented by Authorize.Net since your initial certification</b>. More information regarding re-certification will be coming soon. However, if you would like to get started, updated SCC testing criteria is available at <a href="http://www.authorizenet.com/support/SCC_Criteria.pdf" target="new">http://www.authorizenet.com/support/SCC_Criteria.pdf</a>.
</p><p>
<b>Note:</b> The certification process now requires you to submit PRIOR_AUTH_CAPTURE test transactions (to capture funds for a previously authorized transaction).
</p><p>
For questions regarding this e-mail or the SCC Program, please contact Authorize.Net's Integration Department at <a href="mailto:certify@authorize.net">certify@authorize.net</a>.
</p><p>
Sincerely, <br>
Authorize.Net
