Signature - ccsignature

This section describes the message parameters for Credit Card Signature transaction processing, which you can submit using the XML API integration method. Refer to the Integration Methods section for more information.

The ccsignature transaction adds signature data to a previously approved Credit Card Sale (ccsale), Auth Only (ccauthonly), or Force (ccforce) transaction.

note

Signature is not allowed for the eCommerce market segment.
Signature can only be added to a transaction that has no signature.
