Authorize Method
Sends a Gift Card transaction.
Syntax
public void authorize();
Remarks
This method sends a Gift Card 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 Code property will contain "00".
Note that only ttPrepaidCardPurchase transactions are settled with the TSYSSettle bean. All other transactions (including ttGiftCardPurchase) take place in real time. Instead of using this bean to authorize Prepaid Card purchases, you may opt to use the TSYSRetail bean instead. However, this bean allows you to support PartialRedemption, and will also return the prepaid card's available balance in the Balance property.
