🆕 Card Present and Card Not Present request variants#
Each item in the batch request now accepts one of two named request models. The documentation renders them as separate tabs (Card Present and Card Not Present) so you can pick the model that matches how the submerchant operates.Card Present (CP): for submerchants that accept in‑person, terminal‑based payments. Includes the point‑of‑sale fields (usesKushkiPos, operationMode, emails, paymentOptions, paymentTypes, terminalCount, storeName, storeAddress).
Card Not Present (CNP): for submerchants that accept online / remote payments. Point‑of‑sale fields are not applicable and are omitted.
A single batch call can mix CP and CNP items — each array element is validated against the variant it declares.
The variant is selected per item. Send the fields that belong to the chosen model; fields from the other model are not accepted.
🆕 Nationality fields for legal representative and beneficial owners#
Three nationality properties were added to the submerchant model to support identity and compliance requirements.| Field | Description | Required |
|---|
legalRepresentativeNationality | Nationality of the legal representative. ISO 3166‑1 alpha‑3 country code. | Yes |
uboNationality | Nationality of the ultimate beneficial owner (UBO). ISO 3166‑1 alpha‑3 country code. | Yes |
ubo2Nationality | Nationality of the second UBO. ISO 3166‑1 alpha‑3 country code. Nullable when there is no second UBO. | No |
Nationality values must be valid ISO 3166‑1 alpha‑3 codes (for example COL, PER, MEX, CHL, ECU). Send ubo2Nationality as null when a second beneficial owner does not apply.
⬆️ Card Not Present validation rules#
The Card Not Present model was tightened to reflect how online submerchants are onboarded.| Rule | Detail |
|---|
operationType | Restricted to CNP or BIN CNP. |
| Point‑of‑sale fields | Removed — not applicable to remote payments. |
submerchantUrl | Now required — the operating website must be provided. |
⬆️ submerchantName rules clarified#
The submerchantName specification was rewritten to remove ambiguity about accepted values and normalization.Maximum length of 18 characters.
The value is normalized to uppercase and trimmed of leading/trailing spaces.
Must contain at least one letter (A–Z).
Allowed characters: A–Z, 0–9, &, -, and single spaces between words.
Accented characters and Ñ are not allowed.
Values that exceed 18 characters after normalization, or that contain unsupported characters, are rejected. Remove accents and Ñ before sending (for example, use PENA instead of PEÑA).
