Swipe Auth Only - emvswipeauthonly

This section describes the message parameters for EMV Swipe Authorization Only transaction processing, which you can submit using the XML API integration method. Refer to the Integration Methods section for more information.

The emvswipeauthonly transaction obtains real-time authorization only for a swiped credit/debit card for an EMV terminal. This transaction covers chip cards in a fallback situation, regular swiped cards, and any non-supported chip cards. This transaction will guarantee that the funds are available on the card and reduce the cardholder’s limit to buy for only a predetermined amount of time.

To place the transaction in the Open batch, use cccomplete to convert to a Sale transaction or use ccdelete to reverse and restore the funds on the card.
