Chapter 48: Defining Authorization Service Countries

Purpose: Each service bureau that your company uses may assign its own country codes to the various credit card payment methods. These country codes may differ from the country codes your company uses. For example, Paymentech may use country code US to represent the United States of America, whereas, your company may use country code USA to identify the United States of America.

The Authorization Service Country function is used to cross reference the country codes your company uses with the country codes the authorization and deposit service uses. By cross referencing the country codes:

• You can use your country codes when entering orders.

• The country code the service bureau uses can be included in the transactions transmitted to the service bureau.

• When you create the country cross-reference, you can also indicate whether the service bureau performs address verification for the country.

If you use the Chase Paymentech Orbital Gateway Integration, you should set up a cross reference to your local country code and any other countries you use in order entry.
