PAR and MAC Added to Real-Time Monitoring Reports

PAR and MAC fields will be added to TabaPay's RTM report.

Beginning approximately October 12, TabaPay will add PAR (Payment Account Reference) and MAC (Merchant Advice Code) fields to the end of the Real-Time Monitoring (RTM) report.

These fields provide additional card and network information for transaction monitoring and analysis.
