Payflow Pro Interface Parameters

The parameters in the table below are defined on the Interface Parameter Maintenance screen for the PayPal (VeriSign) payment handler:

Parameter

Description

ACCOUNT_VERIFICATION_ERROR

This parameter was added with the 7.3.0 release to manage credit card authorization.

 

The preferred method of obtaining an account verification of a customer credit card is to generate a zero-dollar authorization; however, some banks will reject a zero-dollar authorization.  When that happens, the organization can try to process a $1 charge followed by a $1 void to obtain account verification.

 

Rejection of a zero-dollar authorization because it's a zero-dollar authorization (not because of a credit card error) returns an error code of 4 or 12. When Personify evaluates the authorization-rejection error message and determines that it was a rejection of the zero-dollar authorization itself, it will attempt to process a $1 charge followed by a $1 void.

 

If you do not want to obtain account verification by generating a $1 charge followed by a $1 void, you should leave this parameter blank.

ALLOW_CHANGES_TO_CREDIT_CARD_PROFILE
