Commando Mode is a fallback measure that ensures cards funded using Gateway Just-in-Time (JIT) continue to function in the event your system fails. If your system cannot respond to the JIT Funding request, the Marqeta platform makes a decision in your place based on defined business rules.
You can enable Commando Mode as needed using the following methods:
- The Program Dashboard enables you to turn Commando Mode on and off at the card product level.
- The
/commandomodesendpoint enables you to define the conditions which programmatically turn Commando Mode on or off for a given Commando Mode control set. - The
/commandomodes/transitionsendpoint enables you to turn Commando Mode on and off for a program gateway funding source.
For more information, see Commando Modes in the Core API Reference and About Transactions in the Developer Guides.
