Force Method

Used when authorization cannot be obtained online.

Syntax

retail.force(voiceAuthCode, [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 is used when the response to a Sale or AuthOnly request indicates that voice authorization is required. The merchant then telephones the call center and receives a voice authorization code. Calling the Force method with this code in the VoiceAuthCode parameter will complete the transaction.

Note: If the Gateway does not support this method, the class will fails with an error.
