Compatible Card Types

PAAY can currently be used to authenticate Visa and Mastercard transactions, so we recommend only attempting authentication with those card types.

Rebills

We recommend authenticating the cycle 2 transaction rebill amount in addition to authenticating your cycle 1 transaction.

Trial Authentications

For trials, we recommend following these practices:

  • Hold Trial Charge - Authenticate the cycle 2 transaction amount and send as the initial authentication amount. Do not attempt a PAAY rebill authentication.

  • Full Authorize & Void and Validate Card Trials or any trial with either no cycle 1 price or only shipping for cycle 1 - Run the PAAY authentication using the cycle 2 transaction amount and then send to Konnektive as rebill 3DS parameters.
