Setup
To connect a Merchant using the Cybersource Gateway,
- First add Merchant
- Select Cybersource as the Gateway
- Add Gateway Details as outlined below
| Gateway Details | Description |
|---|---|
| Merchant ID* | provided by Cybersource |
| API Key* | provided by Cybersource |
| API Shared Secret Key* | provided by Cybersource |
| Merchant Payment Methods* | The types of payment methods this merchant accepts — credit card only. |
| Merchant Card Types* | Card types to be accepted on this Merchant |
| Merchant Default Currency* | Default currency that will be used, if currency is not specified |
| Merchant Currencies* | All currencies accepted on this merchant |
| Pass Merchant Descriptor | When checked, the merchant descriptor set on the Merchant Account is sent to Cybersource with the charge. See Dynamic Merchant Descriptors. |
| Bypass $0 Transaction Authorizations | Check this box to bypass card validation with Cybersource for $0 transactions. When unchecked, a $1 authorization (voided immediately) will be used to validate the card — the result of this authorization will determine if the transaction is successful. This setting only applies to initial transactions — $0 renewals will always bypass the gateway. Learn more about $0.00 transaction handling. |

Supported Payment Methods
Credit Card
Card Tokenization
Charges made with card data ask Cybersource to save the card. Vrio stores the returned payment instrument and reuses it for every renewal.
Dynamic Merchant Descriptors
When Pass Merchant Descriptor is checked, Vrio sends the Merchant Account descriptor with every charge, or a merchant_descriptor passed when the order is processed, which is then reused for that order's renewals.
If the order later moves to a different merchant, that merchant's descriptor is used instead.
Cybersource accepts up to 22 characters and silently shortens anything longer.
3D Secure
Cybersource accepts 3D Secure authentication data that you generate with a third party provider. Values are sent whenever authentication data exists on the order for the cycle being charged.
| Vrio | Cybersource |
|---|---|
order_eci | consumerAuthenticationInformation.eciRaw |
order_cavv | consumerAuthenticationInformation.cavv |
order_xid | consumerAuthenticationInformation.xid |
order_3ds_ds_transaction_id | consumerAuthenticationInformation.directoryServerTransactionId |
See Third Party 3DS Providers for the full parameter reference.
Testing
Note : Placing test orders using Cybersource test cards will not automatically set the order as a test in Vrio. Be sure to flag the order as a test using the is_test flag after the order is processed. For more details on placing test orders, click here.
