Industry Practice Transactions

Industry practice transactions are MITs performed as follow‑on actions to a previous CIT. Although not all of them require stored credentials, repeated use of credentials qualifies them as COF transactions.
These industry practice transactions and industry examples are available with your processor:
  • Delayed charges: Used to add charges after the initial transaction is complete. Examples: hotels (minibar, damages), car rentals (tolls), travel (post-trip charges), and health and wellness add-ons.
  • Reauthorizations: Used when an authorization expires before fulfillment. Examples: long hotel stays, extended rental agreements, multi-week equipment rentals, and delayed subscription boxes.
  • Resubmissions: Used when a previous authorization attempt fails. Examples: utility auto-pay retries, telecom billing, insurance premiums, and online membership renewals.
  • No-shows: Used when a customer fails to appear for a reserved service for these industries: hotels, rentals, healthcare missed appointments, and restaurant reservation deposits.
