CyberSource - Merchant Defined Data

CyberSource system require user Merchant Defined Data

Field Name is MDD14 : Time/date since last purchase 

<input type="hidden" id="merchant_defined_data14" name="merchant_defined_data14" value="<?php echo $time_difference;?>">

Problem 1;

If the customer is new, how can I calculate the time difference ? (now()-max(date))

For Example, 0 second is passed from last purchase.. Is it correct ?

Problem 2;

what is the date/time format of the CyberSource MDD14 Time/date is required.

Time in Second ? Date in ?

Sorry for these questions. They didnt provide me any document regarding this issue?

Is anyone coding CyberSource with PHP using MDD fields ?

Thanks for your help.

Regards..

Not mandatory or "required" by CYBERSOURCE, but it looks like they ARE necessary to @Ganesh-NeGi 's application in order to facilitate data sharing. Merchant Defined Data (MDD) fields are just a way to PASS data through the gateway and there are limitations in that you cannot send personal identifying information or health information data.

Yes, it is mandatory to send Mdd fields because in documents it is clearly mentioned.

These fields are

'merchant_defined_data1' => 'WC', // Chanel of Operation

'merchant_defined_data2' => 'YES', // 3D secure

'merchant_defined_data3' => 'category_name', // product category like category1, category2

'merchant_defined_data4' => 'product name', // product name.

'merchant_defined_data5' => Yes/No // Previous Customer

'merchant_defined_data6' => 'Standard', // Shipping Method

'merchant_defined_data7' => '1', // Number of Items Sold

'merchant_defined_data8' => 'USA', // Product Shipping Country

'merchant_defined_data20' => 'NO', // VIP Customer

Not necessary to send mdd14 fields

If need any help further more please ask.

Merchant Defined Data is any custom data you want to send to CyberSource. If you inherited this project, then the person/team before you set this up. CyberSource doesn't require any Merchant Defined Data. Merchant Defined Data is data defined by you as the merchant.
