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
