Supported Cards

Visa, MasterCard, Switch (Check website for updates)

Switch cards require issue number; $Cardstream->content(issue => '1')

NOTES

Merchant accounts

A Cardstream merchant account is free of charge to set-up. Cardstream operates on a commission basis. Please see http://www.cardstream.com for pricing information, or contact sales@cardstream.com.

Expiration dates

Cardstream.pm requires expiration dates in APACS/30 Standard format, which, unlike what is printed on the card, is YYMM.

The auth code and error messages are stored into $Cardstream->authorization and $Cardstream->error_message, however should you require more debugging information, server-response contains a pipe delimited hash consisting of the error code, text message from bank...etc.
