Processing an Authorization and Two Captures for Multiple Products
When the customer orders multiple products and one is not available, you must request an
authorization to ensure funds are available. You ship the products that are available and
request a capture for the amount of the shipped products. When the remaining product becomes
available, ship the product and request a follow-on capture for the amount of the product.
Cybersource
performs a system-generated authorization for the follow-on
capture request. Cybersource
then links the capture request. You receive the
status of the follow-on capture request and its associated system-generated authorization. Step 1: Requesting an authorization
Request an authorization to ensure that funds are available for one or more products that are
available for immediate shipment. The authorization request requires no additional fields or
requirements other than a basic authorization.
Step 2: Requesting a capture
Ship the available product and request a capture while you wait for the remaining product to
become available. The capture request requires only the basic fields as any capture request.
Step 3: Requesting a follow-on capture
When the remaining product becomes available, ship it and request a capture for that amount.
The capture request requires only the basic fields as any capture request.
