Plan Offers Inquiry
Request to retrieve a set of payment plan offers for a payment plan so that they can be presented to the cardholder. After the cardholder has selected one of the payment plan offers, the merchant requests a Pay or Authorize transaction that includes the number of payments selected by the cardholder. The Plan Offers Inquiry operation is applicable to AMEX_PlanAmex plan type only, where the merchant is paid in full less applicable discount rate; and the cardholder is billed in installments plus the applicable interest rate. It is used for Plan Amex transactions in Brazil to satisfy statutory requirements where the merchant must provide the cardholder with information about the amount of interest charged

The details describing the source of the funds to be used.
For card payments these may be represented by combining one or more of the following: explicitly provided card details, a session identifier which the gateway will use to look up the card details and/or a card token. Precedence rules will be applied in that explicitly provided card details will override session card details which will override card token details. Each of these may represent partial card details, however the combination must result in a full and complete set of card details. See Using Multiple Sources of Card Details for examples.
Information about the source of funds when it is directly provided (as opposed to via a token or session).
For browser payments, the source of funds details are usually collected from the payer on the payment provider's website and provided to you when you retrieve the transaction details (for a successful transaction). However, for some payment types (such as giropay), you must collect the information from the payer and supply it here.
