Introduction to Airline Processing
Airline data processing exceeds basic payment processing by enabling you to process
specific travel data. To make use of this capability, you must submit additional
information, such as:
- Carrier (airline)
- Departure date
- Destination airport
- Purchase date
- Originating airport
- Ticket class
- Travel legs (segments)
- Ticket Number
Before you can test or process airline payments, your merchant account must be set up for
airline processing, including adding the airline merchant category code (MCC) provided
by your processor. Contact your
Cybersource
account manager for help
with this setup. Prerequisite
To begin processing payments through
Cybersource
, you must first set
up your payment processing system to be REST compliant. If you have not set up
secure communications between your client and server using either JSON Web Token
(JWT)
or HTTP signature
messaging, see the Getting Started with REST Developer
Guide
