Card-Present Authorizations
For card-present transactions, the presence of the payment card is established during the
authorization service. These are the basic types of card-present authorizations:
- EMV authorization: Authorization that is based on the EMV chip embedded in the cardholder's card.
- Magnetic stripe authorization: Authorization that is based on the magnetic stripe on the back of the cardholder's card.
- Hand-keyed authorization: Authorization that is based on you manually entering the card information into the payment terminal.
After you complete a card-present authorization, using these follow-on services enables
you to complete the full payment workflow:
- Capture
- Contact EMV capture
- Stand-alone credit
- Authorization reversal
- Void
