Besides the required parameters that you pass in a sale transaction, this string includes other
typical parameters. The COMMENT1 (and COMMENT2) fields help to track transaction
information. Pass the customer's street address (BILLTOSTREET) and zip code (BILLTOZIP)
to use address verification service. To validate card security codes, pass the CVV2 parameter.
For details on address verification service and card security code, see the following:
“Submitting Card Present (SWIPE) Transactions” on page 67
“Using Card Security Code” on page 85
Submitting Soft Merchant Information
Soft merchant information is detailed data about a merchant such as the merchant's name,
business address, business location identifier, and contact information.
About Soft Merchant Information
Merchants aggregators, who perform transactions on behalf of other merchants under a single
merchant account, provide the processor with soft merchant information. Soft merchant
information identifies the merchant making the sale and includes information about that
merchant on the buyer’s card statement.
Say, for example, Outdoor Apparel has a chain of 12 stores located in the Western United
States with the corporate office in Oakland, California. John Lui purchases a pair of hiking
boots online from Hiker’s Duds in San Jose, California, and charges them to his credit card.
The transaction goes to the aggregator at Outdoor Apparel in Oakland. The aggregator sends
soft merchant information about the Hiker’s Duds store with the transaction to the credit card
processor. When John receives his credit card statement, he recognizes the charge for the
hiking boots he purchased at Hiker’s Duds in San Jose.
Ways to Send Soft Merchant Information
There are 2 ways you can send soft merchant information:
Soft merchant information (SM Record)
Merchant descriptor (M Record)
The Paymentech processor requires that you follow their guidelines to send soft descriptor
information using either of these methods.
