Batch Account Updater
Account updater automatically updates your account holders’ card information. This feature is available for Visa and MasterCard transactions in North America. To utilize this feature with Chase Paymentech, you will need to set up a separate merchant account with Chase. Once set up, this configuration lies within the collection groups and payment gateways tab in the UI (Configuration > Payments).
In addition, the following Account Updater fields for the Chase Paymentech payment gateway are now honored at the collection group level as part of the Aria integration to support international divisions for clients (Configuration > Payments > Collection Groups):
- AU_Days_Prior_to_Invoice
- AU_Update_Interval
- AU_Cards_to_Update
- AU_Merchant_Company_Number
- AU_Division_Code_US
- AU_Division_Code
Aria has also enhanced the Chase Paymentech Account Updater by allowing configurable actions depending upon your business practices. A new Chase AU Response Code Handler Settings field called Response Code Q Action (with this response code matched to an internal Aria setting) has been added at the payment gateway (Configuration > Payments > Payment Gateways > Gateway Options) and collection group (Configuration > Payments > Collection Groups > Collection Group Options) levels.
The field appears as shown:
The following selections are available at this field:
| Selection | Description |
|---|---|
| Use Payment Gateway Setting | Honored at the Collection Group level. |
| No Action Required | Default selection. |
| Suspend the Payment Method | This will be honored for existing clients using this selection. |
Fraud Protection
Chase allows fraud scoring and filtering protection. To use these features with Aria you will need to enable them with Chase Paymentech. In addition, you will need to use the applicable fraud merchant ID and division code for the fraud protection features you need. These values should be inserted in the applicable fields within the UI at both the payment gateway and collection group levels. At the payment gateway and collection group levels, the below fraud options are available for selection. Each option has a corresponding tool tip to assist in your selections.
For improved fraud scoring, we recommend that you send the below data to Chase when you create or update an account:
- Customer_ip_address
- Customer_browser
- Fraud_merchant_id
- Customer_gender
These fields are normally passed via the API however they can be set in the UI under field options at the payment gateway level and advanced options at the collection group level.
If you are using direct post, fraud scoring and filter options should be set at the USS Reg Configuration level. Each option has a corresponding tool tip to assist in your selections. Based on your selected fraud options and your configuration in Chase the specified actions will be taken on accounts handled by your applications that use Direct Post.
Your Chase Paymentech representative will provide more information and additional documentation if needed.

When applicable, Aria will send Level 2 and 3 data to Chase Paymentech, resulting in savings on transaction fees. Level 3 data includes invoice line item details that allow for lower transactional fees than level 2 data.
Soft Descriptors
The soft descriptor configuration allows for a transaction description to be shown on the buyer’s credit card statement. This field allows for a 22 alphanumeric character item description when paying by credit card and up to 15 when paying by electronic check.

- Soft_descriptor_customer_service: City or customer service phone number that appears on the account holder's statement.
The following APIs contain the soft description and soft descriptor customer service fields:

Initial and recurring transaction types are automatically set to recurring when the field values are set to “true” under the recurring options settings in the UI (when creating a Payment Gateway). This feature may result in lower transaction fees. The recurring transaction indicators can be configured at both the Payment Gateway and Collection Group levels (Configuration > Payments).
Enhanced Auths Marketing

$0/Authorization Reversals
When authorizing a card, Aria provides the option to authorize a $0 or $1 transaction on the card to ensure the card is in good standing prior to offering a service to the account. The system override settings listed in the image below are to authorize and then reverse the authorizations on the card after the verifications. The settings can be enabled for all or specific card types accepted with this integration. This configuration in the UI is at the collection group level.
Chase also supports reversing pre-authorizations on credit cards outside of $0. After performing the authorization, click on Accounts > search for the account > Payments & Credits (left panel) > Current Authorization Reversals tab > Create a New Auth Reversal. All pending authorizations that can be reversed display on this screen. Click the authorization ID for the authorization you want to reverse.
The reasons within the drop-down list are the following:
- Account charged in error
- Goods/Services not delivered
- Customer dissatisfaction
- Cancellation of pre-paid service
- Good will
- Overpayment/Duplicate payment
- Wrong/undesired payment source charged
- Other
After a reason is deleted and CSR comment (optional) added, press Generate Auth Reversal to remove the pre-authorization on the credit card.
CVV and AVS Configurations
With the Chase Paymentech integration, error codes can be returned by Aria for a specific Card Verification Value (CVV) response. This configuration lies within the collection groups and payment gateways tab in the UI (Configuration > Payments).
The integration with Chase also offers Address Verification Service responses. This configuration is also within the collection groups and payment gateways tab of the UI. See image below for possible configuration options:

Mail Order/Telephone Order (MOTO) Enhancement

- You call the authorize_electronic_payment_m API and you set the <transaction_type>
value to 1 and pass false into the <attempt_3d_secure> field; or In your Direct Post configuration, you set the Transaction Type field to Single transaction mail/telephone order (MOTO) and pass false into the <attempt_3d_secure> field in your Form of Payment page.
In your Direct Post configuration, Transaction Type is now a text-only field (as shown):
The following values can be entered at the Transaction Type field:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| -1 | Use client configuration settings for "Send Transaction Type as Recurring for Initial Request Where Possible" or "Send Transaction Type as Recurring for Subsequent Request" as applicable. |

SCA 3DS Exemption
For Chase Paymentech, a new setting has been added under Options at the payment gateway and collection group level for a low-value payment strong customer authentication (SCA) exemption (for 3DS-enabled merchants). The default selection for this field is No Exemption. Using this setting, a Chase customer will not get a pop-up confirmation message for the 3DS transaction under the exempted amount and currency, which will ensure more seamless transaction processing. To access the Chase Paymentech gateway, navigate as follows in the Aria UI: Configuration > Payments > [Payment Gateways][Collection Groups].
Create a new Payment Gateway or Collection Group and select Low Value Payment from the Exemption Type field as shown:
Note: Clients need to work with Chase for enabling the low amount value SCA exemption feature for their merchants.
For Direct Post, an SCA Exemption textbox field has been introduced in the USS Reg Configuration (Configuration > Client Settings > USS Reg Configuration), as shown:
Clients can specify the following values:
- 0 — Do not apply exemption. Process transaction via 3D Secure.
- 1 — Apply the exemption and skip 3D Secure Authorization.
