MultiExcerptNameFeature Overview

The Credit Card Verification feature allows you to put in place a security process to check ownership of credit cards used for orders on your site. When turned on, the system will flag credit card orders over a set monetary threshold completed through guest checkout and when a new credit card is used by registered Users or Customers. Two verification methods are available - Short Change (the new and recommended one) and Split Charge (the older method). Affected order orders are placed on hold ('pending') until credit card ownership has been verified.

...

Info
  • The verification process is compatible only with methods by the eWay Payment Provider.
  • The 'enable immediate integration' option is an LTS feature and is available only to LTS customers. You can switch on this option yourself (but of course you can contact CV Support for assistance when setting up this option).

This option (used with the ShortChange method) provides increased efficiencies for your business during the verification process for the following benefits: order to your system verreserving ordered items in the ERP, marking them unavailable for other orders, online or offline.period:

  • stock status - ordered items are committed to that order and are marked unavailable in your ERP so they cannot be ordered by other customers, online and offline,
  • multiple orders - when a credit card is verified, all remaining pending orders on that credit card are also updated and available for further online processing by your team members,
  • cash receipt issue - cash receipts are written at the time of integration and can be reconciled more easily with your customer's credit card payment since they occur on the same day
