Must-Read

How to get the best results from MRS and keep your users happy.

Data Richness

• The quality and amount of transaction data has a big impact on the accuracy of results. The data available may vary at different stages of processing (e.g. Pending, Pre-authorised, Authorised but not posted)

• You should attempt to include as many input fields as possible in your requests to MRS. See the OpenAPI Docs for the fields we support. All are valuable, but the most valuable are, in order:

  • country

  • mcc (see Merchant Category Codes)

  • city

  • location

Data Notes

• MRS requires information about the merchant involved in the transaction.

• MRS does not process end-user personal data

• The collected data may be “messy” and not all fields may be available for all transactions.

• Often only one single field with location is available. Also, the merchant description may include location information.
