Transaction conditions

We capture these conditions during the authorization and transaction processing. Multiple transaction conditions can apply to a single transaction. These are listed under CONDITION_LIST and can be accessed through the Transaction data export files (CONDITION_LIST). Additionally, we aggregate multiple transaction conditions into a single Transaction Condition Code, which is available for each transaction through the Transaction API as transactionConditionCode.

Transaction data export file / CONDITION_LIST

This list defines the transaction conditions that are included in the Transaction data export files and can be found under the field named CONDITION_LIST. Within the CONDITION_LIST, each transaction includes multiple conditions that describe various aspects of the transaction, such as:

The method of cardholder authentication
The method used to capture the card credentials
The type of payment terminal used
Whether the cardholder was present during the transaction

Interpreting the Condition List

Below are some examples of Condition Lists and their interpretations.

Type	Condition list	Conditions
ATM transaction	ATM, TERM_UNATT, TERM, TERM_CHIP, TERM_TRACK, AUTHENTICATED, TRANS_AUTH, PBT, CARD, CARDHOLDER, NO_MERCH, CARD_CHIP, READ_CHIP, DATA_CHIP	The transaction is an ATM transaction. The terminal is capable of reading both the chip and track data. The transaction is authenticated using the card, and it is PIN-based. Both the card and cardholder were present, while the merchant was not. The chip was read, and the chip data was transmitted.
Contactless POS transaction	POS, TERM, TERM_CHIP, TERM_CHIP_CTLS, CONTACTLESS, NO_AUTH, CARD, CARDHOLDER, MERCH, CARD_CHIP, CHIP_SVC, CPBL_OFFLINE_PIN, READ_CHIP, DATA_TRACK, DATA_CHIP	Contactless POS (Point of Sale) transaction.
Automated fuel dispenser transaction	TERM_UNATT, CAT1, TERM, TERM_CHIP, AUTHENTICATED, AUTH_CARD, TRANS_AUTH, PBT, PBT_OFFLINE, CARD, CARDHOLDER, NO_MERCH, CARD_CHIP, CHIP_SVC, CPBL_OFFLINE_PIN, READ_CHIP, DATA_TRACK, DATA_CHIP	The transaction was made using an unattended terminal where the cardholder was present, and the card used was a chip card. The transaction was authenticated, the terminal supports both offline PIN verification and EMV chip functionality, with the transaction being authorized and processed using the chip.
E-commerce purchase	ENET, NO_SECURE, LINE_SECURE, NO_CARD, NO_CARDHOLDER, NO_MERCH, KEY_ENTRY	Online transaction where the cardholder was not physically present, the card details were manually entered. The transaction did not involve secure authentication protocols (NO_SECURE), but it was processed over a secure network (LINE_SECURE).
Recurring Mail/Phone order	POS, TERM, MOTO, RECURRING, NO_AUTH, NO_CARD, NO_CARDHOLDER, MERCH, STORED	A recurring transaction, done remotely, where neither the card nor the cardholder is physically present, and there was no authentication involved. The merchant used stored card data.

Transaction API / transactionConditionCode

The Transaction Condition Code is available through the Transaction API. Unlike the CONDITION_LIST which lists multiple conditions, the transactionConditionCode is an aggregated value. Please note:

Many conditions are rare or only apply in specific cases, such as when the card only has a magnetic stripe.
Regulations vary across regions, and certain types may be considered non-applicable in Europe due to PSD2, but still permitted in other parts of the world.
Enfuce’s fraud rules automatically decline high-risk transaction types (e.g., chip terminals that fall back to mag stripe).
