Split Tender Critical Use Cases
This document outlines the edge case failure scenarios that can occur during split tender payment processing and provides comprehensive recovery strategies for each situation.
These scenarios require special handling and robust error recovery mechanisms to maintain payment integrity and ensure a good customer experience despite transaction failures.
Payment Capture Failures
CCG CAPTURE FAILURE on Sale Transaction
When a payment capture fails after a successful authorization during rollback process, the system must handle capture failures
For detailed information, refer to Capture Failure Recovery Strategies
ACH-Specific Failure Scenarios
CCG Cancel Failure on ACH Transactions
- ACH cancellation may fail due to limited varying cancellation window.
- Cancellation is allowed only when both ACH payments are in
ACCEPTEDstatus, Refer Cancellation Eligibility Matrix
When a payment cancellation fails on one payment method during roll back process, the system must handle cancel failures. Refer to Cancellation Recovery
ACH Transaction Fails with Notice of Return (NOR)
NOR failures represent a significant risk in split tender transactions since they occur after the transaction appears successful to the customer.
| Scenario | Description | Action | Rollback Strategy |
|---|---|---|---|
| One ACH fails in ACH+ACH transaction | One payment succeeds while the other receives NOR | Initiate refund for successful ACH | Full transaction rollback |
Recovery Process Flow
Recovery Action Plan
- Automated Refund Process: System automatically initiates a refund for the successful payment
- Failure Notification: Customer is notified about the payment failure
- Reconciliation: Transaction is marked as failed once refund is processed
If the refund process fails:
- Operations team must manually process the refund
- Update the transaction status in the system
- Generate an incident report with root cause analysis
- Review for potential system improvements
