Required Information

Merchant ID

If your business also has a separate entity outside of Israel, you need a separate merchant ID for that entity. One merchant ID will function for Israel local processing and one will function for global processing.

Notes

• Local processing in Israel does not require that the shopper provide their local personal identification number (Israeli ID). The Israeli ID is optional.
• 3DS is not required, but strongly recommended.

Returning Shoppers

To ensure the best conversion rates for returning shoppers do one of the following:

• Use BlueSnap's Subscription Billing Engine or implement Merchant-Managed Subscriptions for transactions that don't include a CVV
• Prompt the shopper for their CVV and run a regular card transaction
