'data' is the value returned by the method.

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

Remarks

The following types of transactions are supported by this class:


dmtECommerce (0)	This is an E-Commerce transaction, and consists of goods or services sold online over the Internet.
dmtMOTO (1)	This is a Mail Order or Telephone Order transaction, and consists of goods sold through the mail or over the phone.
dmtRecurring (2)	This is a recurring payment, such as a magazine subscription or health club membership.
dmtInstallment (3)	This is an installment payment. For example, "Three easy payments of $19.95".

All of these transactions are card-not-present transactions. If you wish to authorize card-present transactions, you must use the FDMSRetail class.

To settle a transaction authorized with the ttInstallment TransactionType, you must use the FDMSDetailRecord class to add the number of this installment and the total count of all installments to be made. For instance, if the purchase was for "Three easy payments of $19.95", and this is the first payment, then the installment number will be 1, and the installment count 3. An example is included below:

  FDMSECommerce.TransactionType = ttInstallment
  FDMSECommerce.TransactionAmount = "1995"
  FDMSECommerce.Authorize()

  FDMSDetailRecord.ParseAggregate FDMSECommerce.GetDetailAggregate()
  FDMSDetailRecord.InstallmentCount = 3
  FDMSDetailRecord.InstallmentNumber = 1
  
  
  FDMSSettle.DetailRecordAggregate(5) = FDMSDetailRecord.GetDetailAggregate()
