Re-Authorisation

Each time a transaction is fulfilled, the DPG will check the age of the transaction being fulfilled, and the total amount already fulfilled from that transaction. If the value of the fulfill transaction plus the value already fulfilled against the transaction does not exceed the original value authorised by more than ten percent, we will send a re-authorisation request to your Acquirer for the value of the fulfill.

If the transaction is over seven days old and requires a second or subsequent fulfilment, the DPG will also send a re-authorisation request to your Acquiring Bank for the value of the fulfill.

Requirements

Before you can go live with the Split Shipment Service, you will need the following:

• A DataCash account
• The account to be configured for Split Shipment

Split Shipment is supported for all card types via most Acquiring Banks.

Transaction Processing Models

The Split Shipment Service is an enhancement to the Bank Card Two Stage Processing model. Once the initial pre transaction has been authorised, the funds for that transaction can be settled over several transactions.

Situations in which this could be implemented include:

• Shipment of goods will be split, the cardholder can be charged for each individual shipment.
• Ordered Items are not available at time of original authorisation and will be shipped seven days or more after the original authorisation.

Performing Transactions

When performing a second or subsequent fulfill using the Split Shipment Service, one additional element is required in the fulfill request:

• Unique reference number generated by your system - to allow the transactions to be distinguished from each other.
