Submitting Credit Transactions
34 Payflow Pro Developer’s Guide
IMPORTANT: The default security setting for Payflow Pro accounts is Allow
non-referenced credits = No, so sending the ORIGID is the preferred method
for performing Credit transactions. Using the ACCT, EXPDATE, or AMT
parameters for such accounts leads to RESULT value 117 (failed the security
check). For information on setting the security settings, see PayPal Manager
online help.
Fields Copied From the Original Transaction into the Credit Transaction
The following fields are copied from the original transaction into the Credit transaction (if
they exist in the original transaction). If you provide a new value for any of these parameters
when submitting the Credit transaction, then the new value is used. (Exceptions are ACCT,
EXPDATE, and SWIPE. These parameters retain their original values).
N OTE: These fields are not copied for referenced credits: TAXAMT, TAXEXEMPT, DUTYAMT,
FREIGHTAMT, and (for American Express only) DESC4.
N OTE: For processors that use the RECURRING parameter: If the RECURRING parameter was
set to Y for the original transaction, then the setting is ignored when forming the Credit
transaction.
