Auth Only Increment - ccauthonly

The Auth Only Increment transaction lets merchants check if a customer has the necessary funds for additional charges tied to an existing Auth Only transaction - this extends an existing auth only and avoids the difficulty of managing two independent Auth Only transactions.

note

Auth Only Increment does not work with Dynamic Currency Conversion.

Example

important

  • In this example, you will have to change the data values, such as my_merchant_id, my_user_id, my_pin, and transaction data to match your Converge account and meet the needs of your website.
  • Code samples provided are for demonstration only and should not be used for live transactions. All sensitive merchant data, including transaction amounts and your Converge credentials, should be placed in server side code.

</txn>

The increment will be added to the original auth only amount. If you do a pre auth for $1.00 and then increment ssl_amount = $3.00. Now, the new auth only total amount will be $4.00.
