Descriptor

The descriptor is the text representing an order on the consumer's bank statement issued by their bank. It provides information for the consumer, as it associates a specific debit on the consumer's account with the respective purchase in your shop.

  • For Sofort, each request/response must contain the descriptor. The module ensures that the descriptor is sent with each request/response.

  • By default, the descriptor text consists of the first 9 characters of the shop name and the order number.

  • To modify the descriptor, use the method createDescriptor in the file catalog/model/extension/payment/wirecard_pg/helper/additional_information_helper.php.

    • Allowed characters: umlaut, 0-9,a-z,A-Z, , +, ,, -, .
    • Max. length: 27 characters
