Dataflexnet Enhanced CC Info Feed
The Dataflexnet enhanced credit-card information feed and what it delivers.
Additional Info for Midoco Helpdesk
The Midoco-Dataflexnet interface takes care of sending enhanced Data Feed for MASTERCARD and DINERS (non-EUR currency) credit card transactions.
The payment transaction itself will be done using your standard PSP for those credit card brands. The Dataflexnet interface will take care of transmitting the related enhanced data. Dataflexnet itself is going to transmit the data to the card brand. The matching of the financial transaction data and the enhanced data will take place there or within the card issuers realm.
Mastercard issues a SubmitterID which is required in the Dataflexnet interface when transmitting enhanced credit card transaction information for Mastercard transactions:
Once the SubmitterID is provided by Mastercard a live end-to-end testing is mandated by Mastercard for each onboarding merchant to make sure the data feed is (still) matching the requirements.

Scope of this directive
Order, Payment, Master Data
Description
Midoco created an automatic feed (doing magic every hour on the hour) to report enhanced credit card transaction information for defined MASTERCARDs and DINERS Cards to Dataflexnet.
Any credit card transaction for such a defined card having taking place in the past hour will be shipped to Dataflexnet Mondays throughout Fridays between 6am and 19pm (schedule at the moment, can be changed if need be).
Setup
Making the enhanced data delivery work for your Midoco Org. Unit(s) there´s a couple of things to take care of first:
- Get yourselves a Mastercard SubmitterID:
In case you have got customers who expect enhanced credit card data for MASTERCARD transactions, Mastercard requires you (and hence Midoco) to transmit a Mastercard Submitter ID in the export feed. To get the process started, please get in touch with Dataflexnet https://www.dataflexnet.com/ so they can kick-off the process for you at Mastercard. - Ask Midoco to set up the interface for you:
Please issue a support ticket at Midoco Helpdesk ( to ask Midoco for the setup of the enhanced credit card data feed for you.- IMPORTANT: Please provide Midoco Helpdesk with your Mastercard SubmitterID (see No. 1) in that support ticket.
- Please let us know the BIN ranges (digits 1 to 6 of a credit card number) of the MASTERCARDs or DINERS Club cards you want to process via the Dataflexnet interface of Midoco.
IMPORTANT: The DINERS BIN range(s) used in the Dataflexnet feed must not be one of the BINs used bei DINERS Club Central Europe, else there is a conflict in the data delivery. BINs 364875,364876,361421,361422 are expected to be transmitted via the DINERS Club Central Europe interface in EUR currency.
- Mandatory Field Definition:
Alike the process you may be used to for American Express Business Cards, unfortunately Midoco is not provided with a background feed that communicates the (mandatory) field definition of a MASTERCARD or DINERS credit card. Hence the process of providing Midoco Helpdesk with the (required/mandatory) field definition for a credit card for which you expect the enhanced credit card field is in order.
Thus, please issue the dedicated Midoco Helpdesk ticket type ( providing Midoco with the field definition for a MASTERCARD or DINERS credit card in the Dataflexnet Context.
Note: Where Midoco knows the BIN range (see No. 2) but is not provided with a (mandatory) field definition, Midoco will ship all provided information for a transaction using such a credit card. It cannot take care of reminding you of mandatory fields nor can it check the fields syntax for you, though.
Providing the CC enhanced data via booking message
Both via GDS as well as via Atriis you are able to provide the enhanced data for a credit card transaction to Midoco.
To do so, please use the following Remarks
MASTERCARD: CCZU Remarks
DINERS:
- a Diners Club Central Europe card (BIN range in 364875,364876,361421,361422) requires the DBI Remarks
(this is due to Diners Club Central Europe expecting a data feed that is quite similar to the Airplus TAMARA 1.40 feed) - for any other Diners credit card CCZU Remarks
- For your information: Dataflexnet provided us with the following field restrictions they are facing in their interface to Diners:
- fields 1-6: max. 20 chars
- fields 7-8: max. 10 chars
- field 9: max. 20 chars
- field 10: max. 10 chars
- In case there are more than chars provided, Dataflexnet is going to truncate the field to the max. allowed size before handing the data on to Diners.
- For your information: Dataflexnet provided us with the following field restrictions they are facing in their interface to Diners:
Providing the CC enhanced data manually
Apart from transmitting the enhanced credit card data via a booking message (see above) you can also enter them in the CC Additional Data tab in Midoco Midoffice within an order.
This tab is available as soon as the BIN range of the credit card provided as Form Of Payment is known by Midoco as a Dataflexnet BIN range (see Setup No. 2).
In case Midoco is unaware of a mandatory field definition for this specific credit card, you will find the dialogue to just contain up to 10 free text fields. All information you provide in here will be passed on in the Dataflexnet interface.
Given you provided Midoco with the mandatory fields definition for the credit card used in Form Of Payment in the order, the dialogue may look like in this example. Mandatory fields will be indicated by a yellow background colour. No background colour means the data is optional.
Issuing the invoice, Credit Card payment
For an order that has got a MASTERCARD or DINERs credit card as Form Of Payment you issue the invoice the way our are used to.
The financial credit card transaction (so moving funds from the customers credit card into your card account) will take place like for any other MASTERCARD, VISA, Diners credit card using your Payment Provider in Midoco Midoffice you are used to for such card brands.
In background Midoco spots the cards BIN range and prepares the enhanced credit card feed. A scheduled process which runs every hour at the hour will then ship the enhanced credit card information separately from the financial/payment transaction to Dataflexnet.
Error Cases/Data Quality Issues
In case Dataflexnet is not able to process the data you provided, they will return an issue report in the interface.
Any issue in the Dataflexnet enhanced feed is not going to cause a problem in the invoice issue or payment process itself as it´s separate feeds.
The error message is going to be presented to you in the related order.
Error or Data Quality Issues may arise from:
- example IATA flight: there is no BSP validator provided or the ticket number is not 9 digits
- example Hotel, Car, Rail: you provide a booking ID which exceeds 20 chars (the max allowed number of chars for that field in the Dataflexnet interface)
Once you amended the order according to the requirements in the Dataflexnet Issue report you may trigger the Enhanced data feed again by hitting the 'Dataflexne..' button in the billing module:
Should you require any assistance in interpreting the Dataflexnet Issue report/the task in the order, please drop us a Helpdesk Ticket.
