On Behalf Of...
If you are making REST API calls directly as a direct result of an end-customer interaction,
(e.g. the customer is clicking a PAY NOW button in your application, or something similar)
we encourage you to pass the end-customer's IP address and any identifying information
(e.g. a username, email address, user ID, etc.) in your API calls.
Do not pass this information if you are initiating the action, and not the customer. (e.g. if you are triggering an automated payment without the customer's direct interaction, do not pass these parameters!)
This information can be used for by ChargeOver's fraud detection services, and also relayed to payment gateways and merchant accounts for use by their fraud detection routines.
Pass this information in these two fields, as query string parameters to your REST API request:
on_behalf_addr=(the end-customers IP address here)on_behalf_details=(the end-customers username, email address, or user ID in your app here)
POST /api/v3/transaction?action=pay&on_behalf_addr=173.132.15.83&on_behalf_details=johndoe@example.com
