Supplementary Data
DirectAPI allows you to pass additional data in transactions. The data may include industry data relating to airline, healthcare, or data related to the transaction (internet, order, or even custom data). The supplementary data you pass for a transaction is stored on the Mastercard Gateway against that transaction.
Contact your payment service provider to check if providing such data is supported for your acquirer. The transaction operations that support the data, and the mandatory data fields required to process the transaction depend on your acquirer.
Please use the navigation menu for details on individual use cases for supplementary data.
