Solution

Transaction categorization API

TxnKit helps teams solve transaction categorization with one safe descriptor, confidence-aware output, and warnings when identity evidence is weak.

Target intent

return usable categories with merchant confidence and warnings.

TxnKit categories are display metadata, not accounting or tax advice.

Raw descriptor

SPOTIFY USA 877-7781161

API-shaped output

{
  "input": {
    "descriptor": "SPOTIFY USA 877-7781161",
    "country": "CA"
  },
  "output": {
    "merchant_name": "Spotify",
    "category": "Streaming subscription",
    "confidence": "medium",
    "signals": [
      "processor_pattern",
      "merchant_alias",
      "category_hint"
    ],
    "warnings": [
      "review_low_confidence_matches_before_showing_logo"
    ],
    "logos": []
  }
}

Low-confidence results should keep fallback labels and warnings visible instead of forcing a guessed logo or website.

When to use

  • You need transaction categorization for transaction-feed UI, audit, or import review workflows.
  • You can send safe anonymized descriptors without customer PII or full statement text.
  • You want API-shaped output that a developer can inspect before wiring product UI.

When not to use

  • TxnKit categories are display metadata, not accounting or tax advice.
  • Do not use TxnKit to process card numbers, account numbers, full statements, bank credentials, emails, phone numbers, addresses, customer names, or customer PII.
  • Do not use TxnKit when the product requirement is guaranteed merchant identity, every-merchant resolution, or contracted uptime terms.
