Delayed Capture Transaction: Error Handling and Retransmittal
If an error occurs while processing a Delayed Capture transaction, it is safe to retry the capture
with values that allow the PayPal server to successfully process it. Conversely, if a capture for
a previous Authorisation succeeds, subsequent attempts to capture it again will return an error.
Submitting Voice Authorisation Transactions
A Voice Authorisation (TRXTYPE=F) transaction is a transaction that is authorised over the
telephone from the processing network.
When to Use a Voice Authorisation Transaction
Some transactions cannot be authorised over the internet (for example, high dollar amounts)
and require manual authorisation. These transactions generate Result Code 13 and are called
Referral transactions.
In these situations, you contact the customer service department of your merchant bank and
provide the payment information as requested. If the transaction is approved, the bank
provides you with a voice Authorisation code (AUTHCODE) for the transaction. You include
this AUTHCODE as a parameter in a Voice Authorisation transaction.
Once a Voice Authorisation transaction has been approved, it is treated like a Sale transaction
and is settled with no further action on your part.
Like Sale transactions, approved Voice Authorisation transactions can be voided before
settlement occurs.
