For 3D Secure 2 transactions, we recommend that you include this object to increase the chances of achieving a frictionless flow.

If you want a BIN or card verification request to use a non-zero value, assign this value to additionalAmount (while the amount must be still set to 0 to trigger BIN or card verification). Required to be in the same currency as the amount.

additionalData object

This field contains additional data, which may be required for a particular payment request.

The additionalData object consists of entries, each of which includes the key and value.

  • For 3D Secure 2 transactions in all browser-based and mobile implementations.
  • For cross-border payouts to and from Canada.
browserInfo object

The shopper's browser information.

For 3D Secure, the full object is required for web integrations. For mobile app integrations, include the userAgent and acceptHeader fields to indicate that your integration can support a redirect in case a payment is routed to 3D Secure 1.

The delay between the authorisation and scheduled auto-capture, specified in hours.

dateOfBirth string

The shopper's date of birth.

fraudOffset integer

An integer value that is added to the normal fraud score. The value can be either positive or negative.

localizedShopperStatement object

This field allows merchants to use dynamic shopper statement in local character sets. The local shopper statement field can be supplied in markets where localized merchant descriptors are used. Currently, Adyen only supports this in the Japanese market .The available character sets at the moment are:

  • Processing in Japan: ja-Kana The character set ja-Kana supports UTF-8 based Katakana and alphanumeric and special characters. Merchants can use half-width or full-width characters. An example request would be:

{ "shopperStatement" : "ADYEN - SELLER-A", "localizedShopperStatement" : { "ja-Kana" : "ADYEN - セラーA" } } We recommend merchants to always supply the field localizedShopperStatement in addition to the field shopperStatement.It is issuer dependent whether the localized shopper statement field is supported. In the case of non-domestic transactions (e.g. US-issued cards processed in JP) the field shopperStatement is used to modify the statement of the shopper. Adyen handles the complexity of ensuring the correct descriptors are assigned. Please note, this field can be used for only Visa and Mastercard transactions.
