Discover Card New Prefix - 65

[eldon99]

FYI - Not sure when Discover Card added this, but they have a new prefix, 65, in addition to the usual 6011. We found this out the hard way when a customer tried to purchase with his discover card and it wouldn't work. We use MivaPay, so we added this to the Payment Card Types section under Payment Settings. Hope this helps others.

On a related topic: Several years ago, I heard that MasterCard was going to roll out a new prefix, 2000- I think. I figured I'd start getting calls from clients running custom payment modules that needed an update; but so far, not a peep. Anyone know what's up with that?

Hi Kent,

Looks like MasterCard did the roll-out in 2017: https://www.mastercard.us/en-us/issu...expansion.html

Yes, that sounds about right. But again, I don't know if they've actually issued any cards with the new prefix. Has Miva modified its own payment modules to support this?

[Matt Zimmermann]

To the best of my knowledge, the individual gateways should have updated their acceptable numbers. When using MivaPay, the MasterCard prefixes have been updated. As for the ReadyThemes, the bit of JavaScript used for card detection was updated for MasterCard two years ago and already had support for the 65 line from Discover.

The mastercard new prefixes were added in 2017. This addition of new Discover prefixes will follow the guidance in https://www.discoverglobalnetwork.co...Compliance.pdf and will be in 9.14.00. It appears the 65 prefix may be specific to some kind of co-branded initiative with PayPal.

My understanding (which admittedly could be quite wrong) is that the 65 prefix is used for tokenization systems, such as Android Pay and Apple Pay. Can you give us a few additional details?

1. What payment module are you using?
2. Was the transaction an Apple Pay transaction?

1. What payment module are you using?

Authorize.net with MivaPay

2. Was the transaction an Apple Pay transaction?

Transaction was not Apple Pay, simply through the site (we use the Shadows Readytheme).

Customer said this is simply his replacement Discover card, nothing special, although I do not know if it was through PayPal.

For MivaPay, you can edit the permitted prefixes for the Discover payment card type to include 64 and 65, if you have not already. 9.14.00 will include the new prefixes by default.

burch I had added the 65 but I did not realize about the 64 prefix. I will add that one as well. Thanks!
