Transaction Type Definitions

The following transaction types can be displayed within both the Open Transactions and Submitted Batches pages.

TRAN CODE	VERBOSE NAME	DEFINITION
AUTH	Authorization Only	Authorizes a card for a monetary amount but does not capture the transaction for settlement. Used when the final amount of the transaction is unknown (for example, tip adjustments).
CPTR	Transaction Capture	Closes a transaction to the gateway and marks it for settlement. Generally used in conjunction with an AUTH; however, it can be used separately for Voice Authorizations.
INCR	Incremental Authorization	Increments the authorization from an original authorization. Used when the initial authorization was insufficient.
RETN	Return	Credits monies back to a card account. Credits may be the full amount of the original sale or a portion thereof.
REVF	Full Reversal	Reverses the full amount of the transaction authorization. Used in cases where there is a change of tender or a mistake. All transaction authorizations that are not settled must be reversed.
REVP	Partial Reversal	Reverses a partial amount of authorization from a previously authorized transaction. Used in cases where a transaction was over-authorized and the final amount was less than the original authorized amount.
SALE	Sale	Combines an AUTH and CPTR in one transaction. Generally used where the final amount of the sale is known at the time of tender.
VOID	Void	Voids a transaction at the gateway prior to its settlement.
