VoucherSale Method

Used to clear (force) a food stamp voucher that was previously voice-authorized.

Syntax

[VB.NET]
Public Sub VoucherSale(ByVal AuthCode As String, ByVal VoucherNumber As String)

[C#]
public void VoucherSale(string authCode, string voucherNumber);

Remarks

If any aspect of the EBT system is down, the merchant may call the issuing state's processor for a voice authorization for Food Stamp transactions only. The merchant must complete a Manual Voucher form (provided by Global Payments or state EBT contractor) to obtain the authorization number, the voucher number and the client's signature. This puts a hold on the funds in the client's account for the amount of the voice authorization. To receive payment for the transaction, the merchant must process a Voucher Clear transaction within ten days of the voice authorization. To send a voucher clear/voucher sale, just call this method with the AuthCode and VoucherNumber parameters set.

Note that only food stamp transactions may be voice-authorized, attempting to call this method when the BenefitType is set to Cash Benefits will result in an error.
