PayPal Card Security Code Results

Table 8.4, “Card security code response code mapping,” shows the detailed results returned by

the PayPal processor for card security codes. If you want to obtain the PayPal processor value,

set the VERBOSITY parameter to MEDIUM. The processor value is returned in the

PROCCVV2 response parameter. For details on VERBOSITY, see Appendix A, “Verbosity:

Viewing Processor-Specific Transaction Results.”

PNREF Value

The PNREF is a unique transaction identification number issued by the Payflow server that

identifies the transaction for billing, reporting and transaction data purposes. The PNREF

value appears in the Transaction ID column in PayPal Manager reports.

z The PNREF value is used as the ORIGID value (original transaction ID) in delayed capture

transactions (TRXTYPE=D), credits (TRXTYPE=C), inquiries (TRXTYPE=I) and voids

(TRXTYPE=V).

z The PNREF value is used as the ORIGID value (original transaction ID) value in reference

transactions for authorisation (TRXTYPE=A) and Sale (TRXTYPE=S).

NOTE: The PNREF is also referred to as the Transaction ID in Payflow Link documentation.

PNREF Format

The PNREF is a 12-character string of printable characters, for example:

z EFHP0D42687C

z ACRAF23DB3C4

NOTE: Printable characters also include symbols other than letters and numbers such as the

question mark (?). A PNREF typically contains letters and numbers only.
