Transaction Sequencing

All Fusebox transactions go through a sequence of statuses before being considered complete. Available payment types and statuses are shown below:

  • 01 Authorization Only

    • Sends a request to authorize or hold an amount from the cardholder. If the sale associated with this authorization is not generated and settled within a certain period of time, the authorization expires and the amount held is released.

  • 02 Sale

    • Authorizes and records the transaction for settlement.

  • 07 Prior Authorized Sale

    • Records a previously authorized transaction for funding a (post-authorized sale) transaction. Works in conjunction with Authorization Only or Voice Authorization.

  • 09 Return

    • Used to generate a refund on a cardholder’s account.
    • It does not void a previous purchase.

  • 11 Void Sale

    • Cancels a Sale (Type 02) or Prior-Authorized Sale (Type 07) transaction in the Elavon Gateway applications database.

  • 61 Full Auth Reversal

    • Cancels an open authorization and restores the cardholder open-to-buy.
    • Settled - Batch has been closed and released to Fusebox.
    • Confirmed - The third party processor has confirmed receipt of the batch.
