Introduction to Offline Transaction File Submission
Cybersource
supports the offline submission of multiple payment requests
specified in a single file. Instead of submitting individual requests, you can upload a
file that contains a set, or batch
, of transaction requests. You specify the same
information for a batched request as you would specify for an individually submitted
request. One batch file
can include transactions that use different services,
currencies, countries, merchant IDs, and card types, thus eliminating the burden of
handling these values separately.This guide describes how to upload a batch file using the
Cybersource
Business Center
.Cybersource
attempts to validate the contents of the uploaded batch file
and, if any errors are detected in the file, none of the batched requests are processed.
File validation results and transaction processing results are available through email notifications,
results files, and downloadable reports.Cybersource
recommends against using the batch upload feature
for TID-based processors or APACS-based processors.
With these processors, transactions submitted through batch files can result in timeouts and errors.
