Hosted Fields Parameters

When the card is collected with Hosted Fields, the Connecting Party does not have the card data: the request carries the hosted_fields_token received from the Hosted Fields SDK instead of the card parameters. The other parameters from Request Parameters are sent as usual. The control checksum does not include card data and is calculated as usual.

Parameter Name	Description	Value
hosted_fields_token	The hostedFieldsToken received from the Hosted Fields SDK. The Payment Gateway takes the card number, expiry date and CVV from it. Valid for 5 minutes, single use: a second request with the same token is rejected.	`Necessity`: Conditional `Type`: String `Length`: 2048

When hosted_fields_token is sent, these rules take precedence over the necessity of the card parameters in Request Parameters.

Rule	Detail
A single source of card data	hosted_fields_token replaces credit_card_number, temporary_card_record_id and card_recurring_payment_id. Two of them at once are rejected with “At most one of credit_card_number, card_recurring_payment_id, temporary_card_record_id or hosted_fields_token should be set.”
expire_month and expire_year must not be sent	The expiry date comes from the token. Sending it as well is rejected with “When hosted_fields_token present expire_month and expire_year should not be set.”
cvv2 must not be sent	The CVV comes from the token. Sending it as well is rejected with “When hosted_fields_token present cvv2 should not be set.”
card_printed_name is not required	The Hosted Fields SDK does not collect the cardholder name. If the Connecting Party form has such a field, it is sent as card_printed_name; with hosted_fields_token it may also be omitted altogether.

Additional Fields for Preauth Transactions

For Connecting Party

Note

Browser data for 3DS 2.X is gathered by Neonpay system on 3DS authentication stage. For some processing channels, however, the browser data and/or Connecting Party URL for 3DS challenge results must be provided in initial transaction request. Please contact Support manager to clarify if these parameters should be included in request parameters.
