Transaction Data for JIT Funding Decisions

If you have enabled Gateway JIT Funding for your program, the Marqeta platform sends funding requests to your system for each transaction. Some transaction types, such as authorizations, are actionable, meaning your system must respond programmatically to the request and approve or deny the funding. Other transaction types, such as refunds or reversals, are informative only, meaning your system receives a funding notification but does not need to send a response.

To aid in your system’s decisioning process, the Marqeta platform includes data in the request about the transaction being funded. This data describes aspects of the transaction that indicate to your system whether it is advisable to approve or deny the funding request.

The message sent to your JIT Funding gateway endpoint includes the following key objects for decisioning:

  • jit_funding

  • fraud

  • cardholder_authentication_data

  • card_security_code_verification

  • transaction_metadata

In addition to your system’s programmatic responses to JIT Funding requests, you can configure the following restrictions for your program on the Marqeta platform:

  • Spend controls — Limits when, where, and how much a user can spend with their card. For more information, see Controlling Spending.

  • Address Verification System (AVS) — Verifies that the address provided by the cardholder matches the address on file. For more information, see About Address Verification.

The Marqeta platform processes these restrictions before sending a JIT Funding request to your gateway endpoint.

JIT Funding
Copy section link

The jit_funding object contains information about the funding event, including the associated user token and transaction amount. The method field indicates the type of transaction and whether the message is an actionable funding request sent to your gateway endpoint or an informative message sent to your webhook endpoint.

Actionable transaction types
Copy section link

Your system must programmatically approve or deny JIT Funding requests for the following types of transactions:

  • pgfs.authorization

  • pgfs.authorization.incremental

  • pgfs.auth_plus_capture

  • pgfs.billpayment

  • pgfs.billpayment.capture

For more information about the jit_funding object, as well as the differences between actionable and informative transaction types, see Gateway JIT Funding Messages.

The fraud object contains fraud-related data elements from the card network and the Marqeta platform when FraudStream (Beta) is enabled.

Fraud data elements from the card network can include the following fields:

Fields Description

string
Conditionally returned

(Mastercard only) Unique code that describes the main driver of the transaction_risk_score.

Allowable Values:

1-29

transaction_risk_score_reason_description

Allowable Values:

Various strings

Fraud data elements from the Marqeta platform can include the following fields:

Fields Description

score

integer
Conditionally returned

Transaction risk score calculated by Marqeta; a higher score indicates higher risk.

Allowable Values:

1-99

risk_level

string
Conditionally returned

Estimate of the risk level of the transaction, based on the Marqeta risk score.

Allowable Values:

The following code block shows a sample fraud object as it would appear in a JIT Funding request:

"fraud": {
  "network": {
    "transaction_risk_score": 97,
    "account_risk_score": 7
  },
  "issuer_processor":{
    "score": "64",
    "risk_level": "MEDIUM",
    "recommended_action": "DECLINE",
    "rule_violations":
      [
        "24hr.velocity.exceeded"
      ]
  }
}

The following code block shows a sample cardholder_authentication_data object as it would appear in a JIT Funding request:

"cardholder_authentication_data": {
  "electronic_commerce_indicator": "authentication_successful",
  "verification_result": "verified",
  "verification_value_created_by": "issuer_acs"
}
