There are two options to generate the redirect page used to transfer the cardholder to the card Issuer's Access Control Server (ACS) for authentication:
1. Simple: submit the form generated by the gateway. In this case, only the htmlBodyContent parameter is required.
2. Customized: for those merchants who wish to customise the submission. In this case, the acsURL and paReq parameters will be required to formulate the submission.

The details describing the source of the funds to be used.
For card payments these may be represented by combining one or more of the following: explicitly provided card details, a session identifier which the gateway will use to look up the card details and/or a card token.

Each of these may represent partial card details, however the combination must result in a full and complete set of card details. See Using Multiple Sources of Card Details for examples.

For browser payments, the source of funds details are usually collected from the payer on the payment provider's website and provided to you when you retrieve the transaction details (for a successful transaction).
