American Express
A
ORDERDATETIME Specifies an order time and date.
Format is either
YYYY-MM-DD or
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS
(where HH is in 24-hour time).If the value does
not conform to one of the formats or if the date is
not valid (for example, 2004-17-35), then the
transaction is rejected with:
RESULT=7(SIG_FIELD_ERR)
RESPMSG=Invalid ORDERTIME
A truncated version of the ORDERTIME value (up
to 7 characters) overwrites any value provided by
ORDERDATE. If no value is provided, a NULL value
is stored
No 19
RECURRING Identifies the transaction as recurring. This value
does not activate PayPal’s Recurring Billing
Service APIs.
If the RECURRING parameter was set to Y for the
original transaction, then the setting is ignored
when forming Credit, Void, and Force
transactions.
If you subscribe to PayPal’s Fraud Protection
Services:
To avoid charging you to filter recurring
transactions that you know are reliable, the fraud
filters do not screen recurring transactions.
To screen a prospective recurring customer,
submit the transaction data using PayPal
Managers Manual Transactions page. The filters
screen the transaction in the normal manner. If the
transaction triggers a filter, then you can follow
the normal process to review the filter results.
