Stand-Alone Credit

This section shows you how to process a
stand-alone
credit, which is not linked to a capture or sale. There is no time limit for requesting a
stand-alone
credit.
When your account is enabled for credit authorizations, also known as purchase return authorizations,
Cybersource
 authenticates the card and customer during a follow-on refund or stand-alone credit request. Every credit request is automatically authorized.
Credit authorization results are returned in these response fields:
  • ccCreditReply_authorizationCode
  • ccCreditReply_paymentNetworkTransactionID
  • ccCreditReply_processorResponse
When you request a void for a refund or credit before settlement, the refund or credit is voided. If your account is enabled for credit authorizations, the credit authorization is also reversed.

Endpoint

Set the
ccCreditService_run
 field to
true
.
Send the request to

.
