XML Format

The format of an XML batch file is as follows:

• The file contains a single <txnimport> element and multiple <txn> (transaction) nested elements.
• Every transaction is a set of XML tags.
• The number of <txn> corresponds to the number of transactions in the file.
• All elements must be closed in the order that these were opened.

<txnimport>
    <txn>
        <ssl_card_number>0000000000000000</ssl_card_number>
        <ssl_exp_date>1212</ssl_exp_date>
