Authorize Method

Sends an authorization request.

Object Oriented Interface

public function doAuthorize();

Procedural Interface

inpaydirect_tsysretail_do_authorize($res);

Remarks

This method sends an authorization request to the Vital/TSYS transaction server. If the authorization request was successful, the ResponseCode property will contain "00" or "85".

An authorization blocks funds on the customer's credit card, but does not actually transfer funds. In order for funds to be transferred and the transaction completed, you must settle the transaction. To do this, you must pass an XML aggregate containing the results of the transaction to the Settlement class. For example:

TSYSRetail.Authorize()
TSYSSettle.DetailRecordCount = 1
TSYSSettle.DetailRecordAggregate(0) = TSYSRetail.GetDetailAggregate()
