Constant transaction values

When working with and querying transaction data, the following numerical values are returned which represent the corresponding constant value.

This page has the following reference tables for constant values:

Card type (cardType)

The Nexio cardType parameter is used with the View transactions endpoint in the request and returned as a number in the response. You can only send values for 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50. And in the response, you will only get those values or null, depending on the card used in the transaction.

Chargeback cycle (chargebackCycle)

The Nexio chargebackCycle parameter is used with the View a chargeback and View chargebacks endpoints.

This value includes what part of the cycle the chargeback is currently in.

ValueNameDescription
0CanceledThe dispute was canceled.
1InitialThe cardholder, through their credit card issuing bank, has identified this transaction as being either suspicious, or the merchant didn’t deliver what they promised. The issuing bank has transferred the funds back to the cardholder. See the reason code to better understand the cardholder’s reasoning.

At this point, the merchant has the opportunity to submit compelling evidence to dispute the cardholder’s claim. The production Nexio Dashboard makes submission of the dispute very easy and convenient. This submission is routed through the merchant’s processor and the merchant’s acquiring bank.

Note: In rare instances, the merchant may get a chargeback with this cycle type but with an amount that is positive. This typically means that the issuing bank was unable to get the funds from the original Initial chargeback to the cardholder, so the funds automatically reverse back to the merchant's account. For these cases, you do not need to dispute the chargeback.
2WonBased on the submission of the compelling evidence to dispute the cardholder’s claims in the chargeback (see Cycle Type 1: Initial), a reversal of funds is conditionally awarded to the merchant.

If the chargeback does not progress further after 2 months, this typically means that the conditional reversal is made final.
3RepresentThe cardholder’s issuing bank has determined that the compelling evidence submitted in the merchant’s original dispute did not justify overturning the original chargeback (see Cycle Type 1: Initial). The conditional reversal of funds to the merchant (see Cycle Type 2: Won) has been overturned - meaning funds are debited from the merchant.

The merchant has the opportunity to submit new compelling evidence to continue to dispute the cardholder’s claim. This submission is routed through the merchant’s processor and the merchant’s acquiring bank. At this time, this submission must take place outside of the Nexio Dashboard.

Caution: If you attempt to dispute the chargeback at this phase a potential outcome could be arbitration and its associated fees.
3.1Represent (Open)The cardholder’s issuing bank has determined that the compelling evidence submitted in the merchant’s original dispute did not justify overturning the original chargeback (see Cycle Type 1: Initial). Funds do not move in this Cycle Type.

The merchant has the opportunity to submit new compelling evidence to continue to dispute the cardholder’s claim. This submission is routed through the merchant’s processor and the merchant’s acquiring bank. At this time, this submission must take place outside of the Nexio Dashboard.

Caution: If you attempt to dispute the chargeback at this phase a potential outcome could be arbitration and its associated fees.
3.2Represent (Closed)If the merchant did not attempt to dispute during Cycle Type 3.1: Represent (Open), then the chargeback advances to this Cycle Type automatically.

If the merchant did attempt to dispute during Cycle Type 3.1: Represent (Open) and the issuing bank did not agree with the merchant's dispute, then the chargeback advances to this Cycle Type. The conditional reversal of funds to the merchant (see Cycle Type 2: Won) has been overturned - meaning funds are debited from the merchant. This decision is final.
4FinalBased on the submission of the new compelling evidence to dispute the cardholder’s claims in the chargeback (see Cycle Type 3: Represent), a reversal of funds is awarded to the merchant. This decision is final.
4.1Final (Closed)Based on the submission of the new compelling evidence to dispute the cardholder’s claims in the chargeback (see Cycle Type 3.1: Represent (Open)), the issuing bank did justify overturning the original chargeback. Because funds were already conditionally rewarded to the merchant (see Cycle Type 2: Won), there is no movement of funds. This decision is final.

Note

To check the status of a chargeback, you should get in direct contact with the chargeback department. You can also get information in the Nexio dashboard, but it may not be as up-to-date.

Class (class)

The Nexio class parameter is used with the View transactions endpoint. It is part of the cardMetaData object and refers to the category of card used in the transaction.

Payment type (paymentType)

A payment type indicates the type of transaction being processed using stored payment credentials. This field is required to properly flag initial and subsequent transactions. Also, sending an incorrect value may result in fines to the merchant account from card schemes (Mastercard, Visa, and so forth). Please note that cardholder authentication (3D Secure) may be required depending on card issuer requirements.

Nexio defaults to initialUnscheduled for any of the following:

Nexio defaults to initialScheduled for any of the following:

Nexio defaults to scheduled for the following:

🚧

Important

Because Nexio sends a default, if you do not pass the paymentType parameter and rely on the default value, any mislabeled paymentType that results in declines, non-compliance, and/or fines will be the responsibility of the merchant.

You indicate a payment type when you run a card transaction by including processingOptions.paymentType in the body of your request. See the table below for possible values and explanations.

Payment TypeDescription
initialScheduledIndicates a customer-initiated first transaction in a series of scheduled or recurring transactions. For subsequent transactions, use scheduled.
initialUnscheduledIndicates a customer-initiated first transaction that is not part of a series of scheduled or recurring transactions. For subsequent transactions, use either unscheduledCit or unscheduledMit.
scheduledIndicates a merchant-initiated subsequent transaction in a series of scheduled or recurring transactions.
unscheduledCitIndicates a customer-initiated subsequent transaction that is not part of a series of scheduled or recurring transactions.
unscheduledMitIndicates a merchant-initiated subsequent transaction that is not part of a series of scheduled or recurring transactions. Customer consent was provided at the time of the initial payment.
initialMotoIndicates a transaction that is captured in a virtual terminal when customer card information is received over the phone, through mail, or via fax.

If the initial transaction was initialMoto, the gateway or processor may not allow subsequent transactions for that payment method. For subsequent transactions that are supported by the gateway or processor, use scheduled, unscheduledCit, or unscheduledMit.
