Authorization

Authorization transactions represent the initial payment authorization and capture operations in split tender processing. This section covers various payment method combinations, implementation scenarios, and best practices for handling split tender Authorizations.

Payment Method Combinations​

Split tender transactions support various combinations of payment methods:

  • Card + Card - Transactions split between two payment cards

  • Card + Bank Account - ⚠️ Not Supported

    Mixed Payment Type Rules
    • Mixed Payment Type Compatibility:
      • When combining BANK ACCOUNT and CARD payment methods, the PRE_AUTH payment type is not allowed.
      • ACH Direct Debit transactions do not support pre-authorization.

        Example: If a request specifies PRE_AUTH with both Bank Account and Card, it will be processed as SALE ignoring the authorizecard flag.

    • Payment Type Consistency:
      • Both payment methods must use the same payment type.

      Example: You cannot use SALE for one method and PRE_AUTH for the other.

  • Bank Account + Bank Account - ⚠️ Not Applicable

    • ACH Direct Debit transactions do not support pre-authorization.
