The term "gateway descriptor" refers to a short text description that appears on a customer's credit card statement or bank statement when a transaction is processed through a payment gateway.
For NMI: Enable the “SendDescriptor” checkbox at the Gateway account level inside of the CRM portal to include the dynamic suffix.
This adds a suffix to the gateway descriptor, it does not override it. In case of various products, only the description of the first product gets shown.
There are 3 ways to set descriptors.
1. Enter a descriptor on the Gateway setup. This is required. Obtain this from your merchant provider.
CRM > Gateways > Gateway List > edit
2. Enter a descriptor on each campaign product. This is optional. A campaign product descriptor will override the gateway descriptor. If there are multiple products on the order then the transaction descriptor will be set from the first product with a descriptor.
3. Import an order with a custom descriptor. Use the customDescriptor parameter on Import Order or Import Upsale API. A custom descriptor will override both gateway and product descriptor. The custom descriptor is not saved on the order. The custom descriptor is not used on rebills. Subsequent viewing of the order in CRM will not display the custom descriptor.
