Alias.OrderId Your order number (merchant reference).

In this case the merchant will receive this ref2 field on his account statements, helping him reconcile his transactions. 
Although our system can accept up to 30 characters, the norm for most acquirers is 10 or 12. The exact accepted length and data validation format depend on the acquirer/bank.If the orderID does not comply to the ref2 rules set by the acquirer, we’ll send our PAYID as ref2 to the acquirer instead.

OPERATION

The operation defines the type of requested transaction. The payment procedure configured in the Technical Information page will define the default transaction operation for a new order.  An operation value sent along in the transaction, will overwrite the default value.

Possible values for new orders:

RES: request for authorisation.
SAL: request for direct sale (payment), i.e. an authorisation automatically followed by a payment.
RFD: refund, not linked to a previous payment, so not a maintenance operation on an existing transaction. (you cannot use this operation without specific permission from your acquirer)

The possible values for maintenance operations are:

REN: renewal of authorisation, if the original authorisation is no longer valid.
DEL: delete authorisation, leaving the transaction open for possible further maintenance operations.
DES: delete authorisation, closing the transaction after this operation.
SAL: partial data capture (payment), leaving the transaction open for a possible other data capture.
SAS: (last) partial or full data capture (payment), closing the transaction (for further data captures) after this data capture.
RFD: partial refund (on a paid order), leaving the transaction open for a possible other refund.
RFS: (last) partial or full refund (on a paid order), closing the transaction after this refund.

Last (or only) operations change the global transaction status, whereas partial operations do not.

PAU: Request for pre-authorisation.

In agreement with your acquirer you can use this operation code to temporarily reserve funds on a customer's card.

Should you try to pre-authorise transactions via acquirers or with card brands that don't support pre-authorisation, these transactions will not be blocked but processed as normal authorisations (=RES).

Pre-authorisation cannot be set as the default in your Paypage account

 Yes No A 3 RFD
ORDERID Your order number (merchant reference).

This reference is generally used by the merchant to look up his transaction in the back office.
For online, 3-tiers mode, the system also uses this reference to check if a payment is not requested twice for the same order. On request of the merchant the period of this check can be shortened or the check can be disabled.

If the acquirer is technically able to process the transaction, and if there’s no special configuration in the account, this orderID will be sent to the acquirer as reference (ref2) for the transaction. In this case the merchant will receive this ref2 field on his account statements, helping him reconcile his transactions. 
Although our system can accept up to 30 characters, the norm for most acquirers is 10 or 12. The exact accepted length and data validation format depend on the acquirer/bank.If the orderID does not comply to the ref2 rules set by the acquirer, we’ll send our PAYID as ref2 to the acquirer instead.

The table above summarises the possible statuses of the payments.

Statuses in 1 digit are 'normal' statuses:
  • 0 means the payment is invalid (e.g. data validation error) or the processing is not complete either because it is still underway, or because the transaction was interrupted. If the cause is a validation error, an additional error code (*) (NCERROR) identifies the error.
  • 1 means the customer cancelled the transaction.
  • 2 means the acquirer did not authorise the payment.
  • 5 means the acquirer authorised the payment.
  • 9 means the payment was captured.
Statuses in 2 digits correspond either to 'intermediary' situations or to abnormal events. When the second digit is:
  • 1, this means the payment processing is on hold.
  • 2, this means an unrecoverable error occurred during the communication with the acquirer. The result is therefore not determined. You must therefore call the acquirer's helpdesk to find out the actual result of this transaction.
  • 3, this means the payment processing (capture or cancellation) was refused by the acquirer whilst the payment had been authorised beforehand. It can be due to a technical error or to the expiration of the authorisation. You must therefore call the acquirer's helpdesk to find out the actual result of this transaction.
  • 4, this means our system has been notified the transaction was rejected well after the transaction was sent to your acquirer.
  • 5, this means our system hasn’t sent the requested transaction to the acquirer since the merchant will send the transaction to the acquirer himself, like he specified in his configuration.
