Never send full card numbers
Last updated: September 20, 2026
The API needs the first 6 to 11 digits of a card number only. Do not send more.
Why
- Full card numbers are sensitive data under PCI DSS.
- The API does not need them. The first 6 to 11 digits identify the issuer.
What the API does
- The API rejects a
numbervalue with more than 11 digits. - In a batch response, the API shows a value with more than 11 digits as
[REDACTED].
Recommendation
Cut the card number to the first 8 digits in your application before you send it.
