Online Auth Verification Only (I96)

Purpose: Defines whether the system processes online authorizations for $1.00 for the purpose of validating the card. During batch authorizations, the system authorizes the card for the shippable dollar amount and voids the online authorization for $1.00.

Yes/No field: Select this field if you want the system to process online authorizations for $1.00 for the purpose of validating the card.

• During batch authorizations, the system processes the card for the shippable dollar amount and voids the online authorization for $1.00.

• During deposits, the system processes the deposit for the full authorization amount.

Note: In order to perform online authorization, the On-line Authorizations (B89) system control value must be selected. See Performing Online Credit Card Authorizations for an overview and required setup.

What validation occurs during online authorization? In addition to authorizing the card for $1.00, the system may perform:

• address verification, to ensure that the billing address on the card is legitimate. See Address Verification Service (AVS) for an overview and required setup.

• card security identification, to verify that the card is present at the point of sale and to ensure that the card data from the transaction matches the data stored by the authorization service for that card. See Credit Card Security Service (CID, CVV2, CVC2) for an overview and required setup.

• card authentication, to help reduce fraud and charge back volume on card not present transactions by requiring an authentication code, indicating the cardholder is authorized to use the credit card. See Credit Card Authentication Service for an overview and required setup.

What about other card types? If the Online Auth Verification Only system control value is selected and an online authorization is processed for a card type other than a credit card, the system:

• Stored value card: Does not send stored value cards for online authorization. However, if this system control value is selected, you can still perform balance inquiry against a stored value card.

• Debit (Switch) card: Sends the online authorization request to the service bureau for $1.00. The system authorizes the card during batch authorizations for the shippable dollar amount.

Cards requiring authorizations less than $1.00: If the credit card amount to authorize is less than $1.00 and you have defined an authorization number in the Authorization Number for Authorizations Under $1.00 (I08) system control value, the system does not send the card to the service bureau for authorization and instead assigns the authorization number defined in the Authorization Number for Authorizations Under $1.00 system control value to the card. If an authorization number is not defined in this system control value, the system processes an online authorization for $1.00.

What if a $1.00 authorization already exists? If the card already has an active, online authorization for $1.00, the system does not send an online authorization for the card again for $1.00. However, if the existing $1.00 authorization has expired, the system re-sends an online authorization for $1.00 to the service bureau.

What if multiple cards exist on the order? The system sends an online authorization for $1.00 for each card on the order.

Authorize Full Amount During Order Entry (G99): If the Authorize Full Amount During Order Entry (G99) system control value is unselected, the system does not process online authorizations for $1.00 for orders that only contain:

• orders lines with a future arrival date

• order lines in a held status

• order lines on backorder, canceled, closed, or sold out

• reserved order lines that are coordinate grouped with an order line on backorder, held or with a future arrival date

Backorders: If the Preauthorize Backorders (D32) system control value is selected, in addition to processing an online authorization for $1.00 (if the Authorize Full Amount During Order Entry (G99) system control value is selected), the system authorizes a completely backordered order for $1.00 during pick slip generation if the credit card payment is not associated with a manual authorization.

Deposits: When you submit deposits, the system processes the deposit for the full authorization amount.

The system updates the Deposit amount on the Display Authorization History Screen and Authorization History Details Window against the authorization that occurred during batch authorization. You can view the full deposit amount on the following screens:

• Display Deposit History Screen

• Display Deposit History Detail Screen

• Invoice Pay Summary Screen

• Display Invoice Pay Method Screen (Reviewing Deposit Information)

In addition, the system writes an order payment history message for the full deposit amount: Deposit confirmed $ 5.75.

Display Authorization History: The Display Authorization History screen displays the $1.00 authorization and any authorizations that occurred during batch authorization. The system voids the $1.00 authorization once the shippable dollar amount is authorized during batch authorization. During deposits, the system processes the deposit for the full authorization amount.

Leave this field unselected if you want the system to process online authorizations for the amount eligible for authorization, based on the setting of the Authorize Full Amount During Order Entry (G99) system control value.
