Force Method

Sends a Voice Authorization (Force) transaction to the Global Payments Server.

Syntax

globalcharge.force(approvalCode, [callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

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:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

Force transactions are typically used when a customer's card was declined, but the merchant was able to call the issuer and receive a voice authorization code. The Force method will add the transaction into the current open batch. The TransactionAmount, Card, and all other data must match exactly to the information given over the phone to receive the voice authorization, and the ApprovalCode parameter must be set with the authorization code you received. For example

class.TransactionAmount = "1.00";
class.Force("123456"); // value from voice auth or previous AuthOnly trans
