File Structure
File Structure
The file should be delivered in CSV (Comma Separated Values) format as per RFC 4180 with the exception that
no multi-line fields are allowed and that a variable number of fields per line are used. Also note that no header
record is used.
A file has the following structure:
Line items are grouped in blocks per currency - for each currency a seperate block should be used.
Each file submitted has an associated file submission number which increments by exactly one. A file is
rejected if it has a submission number that was previously used or a gap in submission numbers (e.g. 201
followed by 203).
The same merchant account name must be used throughout each file. If you have batch payments for another
merchant account they should be submitted in a separate file.
