When to Use This
Use Metadata Lookup when you need detailed card information to make decisions before processing a payment. The most common use case is BIN-based routing, directing transactions to different payment gateways based on the card’s issuer country, brand, or type. For example, a business operating across regions might send cards issued in Morocco to a local PSP it has chosen, and all other cards to a global PSP.How It Works
Pass the first 6 to 11 digits of the card number as theiin query parameter. The endpoint returns the full metadata record for that BIN range.
