The localizedShopperStatement field lets you use dynamic values for your shopper statement in a local character set. If this parameter is left empty, not provided, or not applicable (in case of cross-border transactions), then shopperStatement is used.
Currently, localizedShopperStatement is only supported for payments with Visa, Mastercard, JCB, Diners, and Discover.

This reference allows linking multiple transactions to each other for reporting purposes (i.e. order auth-rate). The reference should be unique per billing cycle. The same merchant order reference should never be reused after the first authorised attempt. If used, this field should be supplied for all incoming authorisations.
We strongly recommend you send the merchantOrderReference value to benefit from linking payment requests when authorisation retries take place. In addition, we recommend you provide retry.orderAttemptNumber, retry.chainAttemptNumber, and retry.skipRetry values in PaymentRequest.additionalData.
Metadata consists of entries, each of which includes a key and a value. Limits:
- Maximum 20 key-value pairs per request. When exceeding, the "177" error occurs: "Metadata size exceeds limit".
- Maximum 20 characters per key.
- Maximum 80 characters per value.
When you are doing multiple partial (gift card) payments, this is the pspReference of the first payment. We use this to link the multiple payments to each other. As your own reference for linking multiple payments, use the merchantOrderReferenceinstead.

- Subscription – A transaction for a fixed or variable amount, which follows a fixed schedule.

Some payment methods require defining a value for this field to specify how to process the transaction.

Required for Visa and JCB transactions that require 3D Secure 2 authentication for all web and mobile integrations, if you did not include the shopperEmail.

- ContAuth - Card on file and/or subscription transactions, where the cardholder is known to the merchant (returning customer). If the shopper is present (online), you can supply also the CSC to improve authorisation (one-click payment).
