Add Diner’s Club Cards as a Payment Method

Contents

Overview

“On November 8, 2004, MasterCard and Diner’s Club formed an alliance. Cards issued in Canada and the USA start with 54 or 55 and are treated as MasterCard worldwide. International cards use the 36 prefix and are treated as MasterCards in Canada and the US, but are treated as Diner’s Club cards elsewhere. Diner’s Club International’s website makes no reference to old 38 prefix numbers, and they can be presumed reissued under the 55 or 36 IIN prefix. Effective October 16, 2009, Diner’s Club cards beginning with 30, 36, 38 or 39 will be processed by Discover Card.” (taken from the Wikipedia article, Bank Card Number)

To use an international Diner’s Club Charge Card as a form of payment the merchant must define a Payment Method within SEOM. The Payment Methods screen enables users to add payment methods in case they accept additional forms of payment from their customers, e.g. European credit cards.
