Konnektive regularly updates its prepaid bins to be able to identify when a prepaid card is being used. If you run into a scenario where Konnektive did not flag the card as a prepaid card, you can set custom prepaid bin maps within your account so that cards within the specified bin range will being to come through as prepaid purchases.

BIN

A BIN is a Bank Identification Number or Issuer Identification Number, which is the first six digits of a card number. These digits can be used to identify the Type of Card: each Card Type has a designated range of BINs.

BIN mapping allows you to make sure certain Card Types are directed to certain gateways. A typical example of BIN mapping would be to map all AMEX Cards to the gateway you have that will process AMEX.

[binlist.net is a site to test a single card number's BIN] (https://binlist.net/)

[This Wikipedia Article has a list of BIN ranges] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Payment_card_number)

To set a PrePaid BIN Map:

Go to Gateways > Bin Mapping > PrePaid BinMap and Click the Green +Bin Map Button:

Use the Create Bin Map dialog to make a new PrePaid BinMap:

  • Name: The Name of the BIN Map

  • Start Range: First number in the Range

  • End Range: Last number in the Range

  • Enabled: If selected this will enable this Bin Map

The Bin Mapping screen will show the BIN Maps created:

Any of the enabled bins identified in your Prepaid BinMap section will now begin to come through as prepaid cards.
