Plan Offers Inquiry
Request to retrieve a set of payment plan offers for a payment plan so that they can be presented to the cardholder. After the cardholder has selected one of the payment plan offers, the merchant requests a Pay or Authorize transaction that includes the number of payments selected by the cardholder. The Plan Offers Inquiry operation is applicable to AMEX_PlanAmex plan type only, where the merchant is paid in full less applicable discount rate; and the cardholder is billed in installments plus the applicable interest rate. It is used for Plan Amex transactions in Brazil to satisfy statutory requirements where the merchant must provide the cardholder with information about the amount of interest charged

OPTIONAL
Use this field to implement optimistic locking of the session content.
Do this if you make business decisions based on data from the session and wish to ensure that the same data is being used for the request operation.
To use optimistic locking, record session.version when you make your decisions, and then pass that value in session.version when you submit your request operation to the gateway.
If session.version provided by you does not match that stored against the session, the gateway will reject the operation with error.cause=INVALID_REQUEST.
See Making Business Decisions Based on Session Content.

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. Precedence rules will be applied in that explicitly provided card details will override session card details which will override card token details. 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).
