Credit Method

Credits a cardholder's account.

Syntax

ptechbenefit.credit([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

Also known as a Return, this transaction refunds the cardholder's account. This can be performed any time and in any batch, and is not based on a previous transaction. To credit a transaction in the current open batch, use the VoidTransaction method instead.

Manually keyed credit:

class.CardNumber = "4444333322221111"
class.CardExpMonth = 1
class.CardExpYear = 2010
class.CardEntryDataSource = dsManuallyEntered
class.TransactionAmount = "1.00" 'credits $1.00
class.Credit()

Note: This method is not available when using the Terminal Capture SettlementMode.

Note: Credits are not supported for EBT cards that are of the "Cash Benefits" BenefitType.

The EBT card may be specified by either a CardMagneticStripe returned by a card reader, (Track2 only), or manually entered through the CardNumber. CardExpMonth, and CardExpYear.

The ResponseCode and ResponseText properties indicate whether this transaction was successful.
