Processing Apple Pay Transactions

This section provides information about these Apple Pay transactions:
Authorizing a Payment Using
Cybersource
 Decryption or Merchant Decryption
You can request the authorization service using these decryption methods:
  • Cybersource
     decryption: Within this integration,
    Cybersource
     facilitates all of the encryption key generation and decryption processes associated with implementing Apple Pay. This method reduces the exposure of the sensitive payment data to your system.
  • Merchant decryption: Within this integration, you manage all aspects of the Apple Pay integration, from generation of the payment encryption keys to decryption of the Apple Pay payload response. As a merchant, you submit the Apple Pay payment token and other payment information to
    Cybersource
     for processing.
Reversing an Authorization
This service uses the request ID returned from the previous authorization. An authorization reversal releases the hold that the authorization placed on the customer’s credit card funds. Use this service to reverse an unnecessary or undesired authorization.
Capturing a Payment
This service uses the request ID returned from the previous authorization. The request ID links the capture to the authorization. Use this service to transfer funds from the customer’s account to your bank. The transaction typically completes in two to four days.
Authorizing and Capturing a Payment
A bundled authorization and capture is called a
sale
. Request the authorization and capture services at the same time.
Cybersource
 processes the capture immediately.
