Generating Track 1. How To Make Track 1 From Track2
Generating Track 1. How To Make Track 1 From Track2
In this article I'll tell you how to make Track 1 using Track 2
When you see an equal sign (=) in a Track, it always means that it is Track 2
When you see the letter "B" at the beginning of the Track, it always means that it is Track 1
We take our card number from our Track 2, in our case it is:
4888603170607238
Add the letter "B" at the beginning of the card number like this:
B4888603170607238
Then add the cardholder name that YOU want to specify to display, that is: B4888603170607238 ^
Smith / John ^ (Last name first / First Name)
Next we add expiry date and service code (expiry date in YYMM format in our case, 1505, in our case,
the 3-digit service code is 101, so we add 1505101) we get:
B4888603170607238^Smith/John^1505101
B4888603170607238^Smith/John^15051010000000000
Next, add the remaining digits from our Track 2 (after the service code):
B4888603170607238^Smith/John^150510100000000001203191805191
B4888603170607238^Smith/John^150510100000000001203191805191000000
Remember, this is only for VISA and MASTERCARD (16 digit), AMEX 15 numbers and it won't work with
Amex.
