Authorize Method

Sends a Gift Card transaction.

Syntax

tsysbenefit.authorize([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

This method sends an Electronic Benefits (EBT) authorization request to the Vital/TSYS host. The type of transaction sent is based upon the value of the TransactionType property. If the request was successful, the ResponseCode property will contain "00" or "85".
