Possible to save the Expiration Date using Hosted Payments?

[#1]

I am trying to implement Hosted Payments in my web application. I see I can get back the last four digits and the type of credit card (MasterCard, AMEX, Visa, etc...) but we would also like to save the Expiration Date from the transaction. Is this possible using Hosted Payments?

Thanks for this question, ebonfiglio‌. Here's the answer from our express team: 

On Express, the expiration date is only considered sensitive when paired with the full PAN (card number).  On its own or with the masked card number, it’s not a problem.  The developer just needs to ensure they don’t include the expiration date on the receipt.

For Hosted Payments specifically, the expiration date is indeed not returned in the transaction response.  However, the ISV can, very easily, query Express to retrieve the transaction details.  Expiration date fields are included.  The method is called TransactionQuery, using our Reporting endpoint.  Here’s a sample output:

- <TransactionQueryResponse xmlns="https://reporting.elementexpress.com">
