The HMAC value is calculated with the aid of the password and several parameter values. For the calculation, the parameters PayID, TransID, MerchantID, Amount and Currency are used and separated with asterisks:

PayID*TransID*MerchantID*Amount*Currency

Your MAC-password assigned to a specific MID; if you have different MIDs you will have different MAC passwords, too.

Notice: If a transaction does not support all of these parameters, you can simply omit the missing value.

For example, there is no PayID yet with the first transaction, so you do not have to transfer this. The PayID is a component of the Hash calculation in subsequent transactions:

Use the MAC SHA-256 algorithm, which nearly all programming languages support, in order to calculate the Hash value with the password and the parameter values.

4

Use the MAC parameter to transfer the hexadecimal encoded Hash value to the

Notice: Note that the MAC parameter is obligatory for all subsequent transactions (e.g. capture, credit note) if it was transferred with the first transaction (e.g. authorisation).
