Mail Order and Telephone Order (MOTO)

If you take Mail Order and Telephone Order (MOTO) transactions, your customer's card details are supplied using a different channel to regular ecommerce payments.

You must declare this in your Customer Initiated Transactions (CIT) requests using: "channel":"moto".

MOTO transactions are not possible on our merchantInitiatedTransactions (MIT) endpoint.
You cannot supply 3DS authentication data for MOTO transactions.

Code example

{
...
"channel": "moto"
...
}

Error examples

Supplying authentication data with "channel":"moto":

    "message": "The json body provided does not match the expected schema",
    "validationErrors": [
        {
            "errorName": "fieldIsNotAllowed",
            "message": "MOTO channel is not allowed with 3DS data",
