PTechECommerceResponse Type

Results of the CAVV authentication. This field is only returned in response to transactions containing Verified By Visa / MasterCard SecureCode CAVV authentication data.

Contains an authorization code when a transaction has been approved, or an error code. This six character field contains an authorization code when a transaction has been approved. If the Code returned indicates that the transaction has not been approved, then this field will contain an error code, and the Text field will contain the description. Note that the host does not send back an actual authorization code for Credit Returns. Instead, the host sends back six blank spaces in the authorization code field. Credit VOIDS return the original authorization number.

See the list of errors for this component for more information.

Used for partial authorizations. Indicates the actual amount authorized from the stored value card. If the customer does not have enough on his stored value card to cover the complete cost of the purchase, the merchant may request that the host perform a partial redemption. The full stored value card will be used to fund as much of the transaction as possible, and the remainder may be funded by some other form of payment. When PartialRedemption is set to True, the host will supply the actual amount authorized from the stored value card in the AuthorizedAmount field.

Note that the AuthorizedAmount will only contain a value if the PartialRedemption property in the authorizing component was set to True. It will remain blank otherwise.

Contains the Address Verification System result code. This one character field contains the Address Verification System (AVS) result code. An AVS result code can provide additional information concerning the authentication of a particular transaction for which cardholder address verification was requested. An AVS result code of "0" will be returned in the response message when no address verification has been requested. The value returned should be stored and submitted as part of the batch settlement. The valid AVS codes are listed in the table below. Please see the Code field for a more detailed list of Code and AVSResult code combinations.

Contains the returned CVV result code if it was requested. If a CVV value was present in the CVVData field before authorizing the transaction, this one character field will contain the host returned Card Verification Value result code. Please note that a CVV Result code is never returned for an American Express transaction, even if the Card.CVVData; field is filled. Instead, an AMEX transaction will be declined if the CVV value does not match, with an Text indicating such. The following is a list of current result codes:

Authorizing network Identifier which indicates which network approved this transaction. A list of codes follows.

Reference number returned from the Paymentech host. This is the reference number of the transaction as assigned by the Paymentech host. This number must remain with the transaction for the duration of the transaction's life cycle. This information is sent as a parameter in the VoidTransaction method.

If the SettlementMode is set to manual this field will contain the POSRetrievalNumber submitted in the authorization. If no POSRetrievalNumber was sent, this field will contain all zeros, and you will not have a reference number for the transaction.

If the SettlementMode is set to host settle, this field will always contain the Paymentech-generated retrieval number returned by the transaction server, regardless of the value contained in the POSRetrievalNumber property.

In all cases, the RetrievalNumber will contain the number used to reference the transaction when issuing voids or reversals.

SequenceNumber echoed from the authorization. After any transaction this field will contain the same value sent in the SequenceNumber property.

Approval/Decline/Error text message information This field contains a response or display text message, and is used by the terminal to display the authorization result. This field will contain human-readable text indicating whether the transaction was approved or declined, or will contain a description of the error. The actual error code will be returned in the ApprovalCode field. The Text field is for informational use only, and should not be used in determining whether a transaction has been approved or not. Instead, use the Code field to determine this.
