Delayed Capture Transaction: Error Handling and Retransmittal
If an error occurs while processing a Delayed Capture transaction, it is safe to retry the capture
with values that allow the Payflow server to successfully process it. Conversely, if a capture
for a previous Authorization succeeds, subsequent attempts to capture it again will return an
error.
Submitting Voice Authorization Transactions
A Voice Authorization (TRXTYPE=F) transaction is a transaction that is authorized over the
telephone from the processing network.
N OTE: The PayPal processor does not support Voice Authorization transactions.
When to Use a Voice Authorization Transaction
Some transactions cannot be authorized over the internet (for example, high dollar amounts)
and require manual authorization. These transactions generate RESULT value 13 and are called
Referral transactions.
In these situations, you contact the customer service department of your merchant bank and
provide the payment information as requested. If the transaction is approved, the bank
provides you with a voice Authorization code (AUTHCODE) for the transaction. .
Once a Voice Authorization transaction has been approved, it is treated like a Sale transaction
and is settled with no further action on your part.
Like Sale transactions, approved Voice Authorization transactions can be voided before
settlement occurs.
Required Voice Authorization Transaction Parameters
When sending a Voice Authorization transaction request, you are required to include the
AUTHCODE provided by your merchant bank.
The following is an example Voice Authorization transaction request parameter string:
TRXTYPE=F&TENDER=C&PARTNER=PayPal&VENDOR=SuperMerchant&USER=SuperMerchant&P
WD=x1y2z3&AUTHCODE=AB34RT56&ACCT=5555555555554444&EXPDATE=0308&AMT=123.00
