SANTA CLARITA, CA — NETbilling recently added the ability for merchant clients to pass through currency codes in tandem with their transactions. The new currency code field will be supported as part of the postback string for merchants using NETbilling’s direct-mode application programming interfaces and SRI.The feature is supported by affiliate back-end software including NATS, MPA3, Executivestats, and Partnersoft. Changes for current NETbilling multi-currency clients were automatic and immediate.

In order to ensure continued functionality, merchants who employ the NETbilling postback string or already have a multi-currency account with the processor should check their transaction scripts for errors. NETbilling’s technical support department is available to provide help at (661) 252-2456, sales@netbilling.com or support@netbilling.com.

Because the new field is just another one of many name=value pairs that are not in any particular order, merchants who implemented the postback receiving script and direct-mode responses correctly should not notice any glitches. Programmers who hard-coded the expected response into their software may find the script “confused,” however, the company noted.

“We’ve tried to minimize the chance of this by adding the new field at the end of the old response,” a NETbilling statement noted. “If you have trouble, please check how you decode the postback, and do it correctly (standard URL Decode).”

In correctly formatted scripts, the postback string will have the following extra field: Ecom_Transaction_CurrencyCode=XXX.
