Transaction Currency

For merchants processing on the Exchange authorization platform, the only allowed currency is United States Dollar (USD / ISO Code 840).

For merchants processing on the GSAP-NA or GSAP-AP authorization platforms, transactions process in the currency specified for the DeviceId at boarding (DeviceSetting "Currency"); if a Currency is not specified for the DeviceId, then the value set for the SiteId at boarding (Site "CurrCode") is used.

The currency value set in Portico must match the currency value for the TID on the authorization platform and must, therefore, be a currency value that the authorization platform also supports.

The currency specified will apply to all "Amt" fields in the Portico schema except for Dynamic Currency Conversion>CardholderAmt.

Report results contain the currency configured for the Site or Device in the response header.

Note: Portico supports all ISO currencies that are supported by Global Payments settlement systems, including currencies with 0, 2, or 3 minor units.

This is different from Dynamic Currency Conversion.
