PAR ID Support in Tokenization Endpoints and Events

A Payment Account Reference (PAR) is a non-financial reference identifier assigned to each
unique PAN and can be used to link a PAN with its affiliated tokens generated by the network. Starting on Tuesday, January 21th, the pan_unique_reference_idwill be returned in the response for the following:

• Get a card's tokenizations endpoint
• Get a single card tokenization endpoint
• Simulate a card's tokenization endpoint
• Update digital card art for a card tokenization endpoint
• tokenization.updated event

Note: our tokenization.approval_results event currently has a field pan_unique_reference. This field references another data element used by Visa, however it will be deprecated in the future. Please take note to use the pan_unique_reference_id when looking for the PAR ID for either Visa or Mastercard networks.

New ASA field - acceptor_terminal_id

Beginning on Tuesday, January 28th, a new field will begin populating in the pos.terminal object of Authorization Steam Access (ASA) requests.

The Acceptor Terminal ID value uniquely identifies a terminal at the card acceptor location of
acquiring institutions or merchant POS systems.

Note: This change is purely additive and will not affect existing integrations. For more information about this addition after its release, please see the API Reference.
