Charge a Credit Card

The credit sale transaction authorizes a sale purchased with a credit card. The authorization is placed in the current open batch (should auto-close for e-commerce transactions). If a batch is not open, this transaction will create an open batch.

Charge a credit card

var response = card.Charge(10.00m)
    .WithCurrency("USD")
    .WithAddress(address)
    .Execute();

<?php
$response = $card->charge(10)
    ->withCurrency("USD")
    ->withAddress($address)
    ->execute();

import com.global.api.entities.Transaction;
import java.math.BigDecimal;

Transaction response = card.charge(new BigDecimal("10"))
    .withCurrency("USD")
    .withAddress(address)
    .execute();

# coming soon

response = card.charge(10) \
    .with_currency('USD') \
    .with_address(address) \
    .execute()

const response = await card.charge(10)
  .withCurrency("USD")
  .withAddress(address)
  .execute();

Verify a Credit Card

A credit account verify transaction is used to verify that the account is in good standing with the issuer. This is a zero dollar transaction with no associated authorization. Since VISA and other issuers have started assessing penalties for one dollar authorizations when verifying credit cards, this provides a way for merchants to accomplish the same task while avoiding these penalties.

Verify Card Token

var response = card.Verify()
    .WithCurrency("USD")
    .WithAddress(address)
    .Execute();

<?php
$response = $card->verify()
    ->withCurrency("USD")
    ->withAddress($address)
    ->execute();

import com.global.api.entities.Transaction;

Transaction response = card.verify()
    .withCurrency("USD")
    .withAddress(address)
    .execute();

# coming soon

response = card.verify() \
    .with_currency('USD') \
    .with_address(address) \
    .execute()

const response = await card.verify()
  .withCurrency("USD")
  .withAddress(address)
  .execute();

Authorize a Credit Card

A credit authorization transaction authorizes a credit card transaction. The authorization is not placed in the batch. The credit authorization transaction can be added to a batch by using the capture method.

Authorize Card

var response = card.Authorize(10.00m)
    .WithCurrency("USD")
    .WithAddress(address)
    .Execute();

<?php
$response = $card->authorize(10)
    ->withCurrency("USD")
    ->withAddress($address)
    ->execute();

import com.global.api.entities.Transaction;
import java.math.BigDecimal;

Transaction response = card.authorize(new BigDecimal("10"))
    .withCurrency("USD")
    .withAddress(address)
    .execute();

# coming soon

response = card.authorize(10) \
    .with_currency('USD') \
    .with_address(address) \
    .execute()

const response = await card.authorize(10)
  .withCurrency("USD")
  .withAddress(address)
  .execute();

##Assessing a Surcharge Fee {: #assessing-a-surcharge-fee } The Heartland Online Payment Surcharge Program helps businesses offset online credit card processing costs and stay compliant with state, federal and card brand guidelines. By charging customers a percentage fee for processing credit card purchases online, the Program helps businesses keep their prices and payment options competitive — and preserve all the ways customers want to pay.

Surcharging is legal in all but six states (CO, CT, KS, MA, ME, OK), allowing businesses to recoup their processing costs. Heartland’s Online Payment Surcharge Program is a turnkey solution that helps business owners collect surcharges and be 100 percent confident that they meet all requirements. ###Determining Eligibility {: #determining-eligibility } Online payments integrations can determine surcharge eligibility by including a BIN check during single-use tokenization This will expose a boolean on the single-use tokenization response (result.details.canSurcharge) which will alert your integration if the current card can be surcharged. ##Authorize Card with a Surcharge

var amount = 10.00m;
var surcharge = amount * .035m;

var response = card.Authorize(amount + surcharge)
    .WithCurrency("USD")
    .WithAddress(address)
    .WithSurchargeAmount(surcharge)
    .Execute();

<?php
$amount = 10;
$surcharge = $amount * .035;

$response = $card->authorize($amount + $surcharge)
    ->withCurrency("USD")
    ->withAddress($address)
    ->withSurchargeAmount($surcharge)
    ->execute();

import com.global.api.entities.Transaction;
import java.math.BigDecimal;

BigDecimal amount = new BigDecimal("10");
BigDecimal surcharge = amount.multiply(new BigDecimal(".035"));

Transaction response = card.authorize(amount.add(surcharge))
    .withCurrency("USD")
    .withAddress(address)
    .withSurchargeAmount(surcharge)
    .execute();

Using Multi-Use Tokens

Multi-Use Tokenization allows a secure and PCI friendly way to store credit card information within your system. A multi-use token can be generated as part of any of our initial gateway calls: charge, verify, or authorize.

Requesting a multi-use token

var response = card.Verify()
    .WithAddress(address)
    .WithRequestMultiUseToken(true)
    .Execute();

<?php
$response = $card->verify()
    ->withAddress($address)
    ->withRequestMultiUseToken(true)
    ->execute();

import com.global.api.entities.Transaction;

Transaction response = card.verify()
    .withAddress(address)
    .withRequestMultiUseToken(true)
    .execute();

# coming soon

response = card.verify() \
    .with_address(address) \
    .with_request_multi_use_token(True) \
    .execute()

const response = await card.verify()
  .withAddress(address)
  .withRequestMultiUseToken(true)
  .execute();

Charging a multi-use token

var response = card.Charge(10.00m)
    .WithCurrency("USD")
    .WithAddress(address)
    .Execute();

<?php
$response = $card->charge(10)
    ->withCurrency("USD")
    ->withAddress($address)
    ->execute();

import com.global.api.entities.Transaction;
import java.math.BigDecimal;

Transaction response = card.charge(new BigDecimal("10"))
    .withCurrency("USD")
    .withAddress(address)
    .execute();

# coming soon

repsonse = card.charge(10) \
    .with_currency('USD') \
    .with_address(address) \
    .execute()

const response = await card.charge(10)
  .withCurrency("USD")
  .withAddress(address)
  .execute();

Authorizing a multi-use token

var response = card.Authorize(10.00m)
    .WithCurrency("USD")
    .WithAddress(address)
    .Execute();

<?php
$response = $card->authorize(10)
    ->withCurrency("USD")
    ->withAddress($address)
    ->execute();

import com.global.api.entities.Transaction;
import java.math.BigDecimal;

Transaction response = card.authorize(new BigDecimal("10"))
    .withCurrency("USD")
    .withAddress(address)
    .execute();

# coming soon

repsonse = card.authorize(10) \
    .with_currency('USD') \
    .with_address(address) \
    .execute()

const response = await card.authorize(10)
  .withCurrency("USD")
  .withAddress(address)
  .execute();

Capture an Authorization

A capture transaction adds a previous authorization transaction to the current open batch. If a batch is not open, this transaction will create one.

Capture Authorization

using GlobalPayments.Api.Entities;

var response = card.Authorize(10.00m)
    .WithCurrency("USD")
    .WithAddress(address)
    .Execute();

Transaction.FromId(response.TransactionId)
    .Capture(10.00m)
    .Execute();

<?php
use GlobalPayments\Api\Entities\Transaction;

$response = $card->authorize(10)
    ->withCurrency("USD")
    ->withAddress($address)
    ->execute();

Transaction::fromId($response->transactionId)
    ->capture(10)
    ->execute();

import com.global.api.entities.Transaction;
import java.math.BigDecimal;

Transaction response = card.authorize(new BigDecimal("10"))
    .withCurrency("USD")
    .withAddress(address)
    .execute();

Transaction.fromId(response.getTransactionId())
    .capture(new BigDecimal("10"))
    .execute();

# coming soon

from globalpayments.api.entities import Transaction

response = card.authorize(10) \
    .with_currency('USD') \
    .with_address(address) \
    .execute()

Transaction.from_id(response.transaction_id) \
    .capture(10) \
    .execute()

import { Transaction } from "globalpayments-api";

const response = await card.authorize(10)
  .withCurrency("USD")
  .withAddress(address)
  .execute();

await Transaction.fromId(response.transactionId)
  .capture(10)
  .execute();

Refund a Transaction

The credit return transaction returns funds to the cardholder’s account. The transaction is generally used as a counterpart to a credit card transaction that needs to be reversed when the batch containing the original transaction has already been closed. The credit return transaction is placed in the current open batch. If a batch is not open, this transaction will create an open batch.

Refund Transaction

using GlobalPayments.Api.Entities;

var response = card.Charge(10.00m)
    .WithCurrency("USD")
    .WithAddress(address)
    .Execute();

Transaction.FromId(response.TransactionId)
    .Refund(10.00m)
    .Execute();

<?php
use GlobalPayments\Api\Entities\Transaction;

$response = $card->charge(10)
    ->withCurrency("USD")
    ->withAddress($address)
    ->execute();

Transaction::fromId($response->transactionId)
    ->refund(10)
    ->execute();

import com.global.api.entities.Transaction;
import java.math.BigDecimal;

Transaction response = card.charge(new BigDecimal("10"))
    .withCurrency("USD")
    .withAddress(address)
    .execute();

Transaction.fromId(response.getTransactionId())
    .refund(new BigDecimal("10"))
    .execute();

    .refund(10) \
    .execute()

import { Transaction } from "globalpayments-api";

const response = await card.charge(10)
  .withCurrency("USD")
  .withAddress(address)
  .execute();

await Transaction.fromId(response.transactionId)
  .refund(10)
  .execute();

Reverse a Transaction

A reverse transaction reverses a charge or authorize transaction from the active open authorizations or current open batch.

Reverse Transaction

using GlobalPayments.Api.Entities;

var response = card.Authorize(10.00m)
    .WithCurrency("USD")
    .WithAddress(address)
    .Execute();

Transaction.FromId(response.TransactionId)
    .Reverse(10.00m)
    .Execute();

<?php
use GlobalPayments\Api\Entities\Transaction;

$response = $card->authorize(10)
    ->withCurrency("USD")
    ->withAddress($address)
    ->execute();

const response = await card.authorize(10)
  .withCurrency("USD")
  .withAddress(address)
  .execute();

await Transaction.fromId(response.transactionId)
  .reverse(10)
  .execute();

Void a Transaction

A credit void transaction is used to inactivate a transaction. The transaction must be an authorize, charge or return. The transaction must be active in order to be voided. Authorize transactions do not have to be associated with a batch to be voided. Transactions may be voided after they are associated with a batch as long as the batch is not closed.

using GlobalPayments.Api.Entities;

var response = card.Authorize(10.00m)
    .WithCurrency("USD")
    .WithAddress(address)
    .Execute();
