Payment gateways certify partial authorization for each acquirer. Not all gateways certify.\u00a0 The receipt must also show each payment amount.<\/li>\n<li>The merchant must enable it. For example, this could be a checkbox in the ERP or shopping cart software payments module, or it might be turned on at the gateway administration level. It&#8217;s possible a gateway is certified, but the related software using the gateway does not support it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If partial authorization is not supported, and there&#8217;s a decline due to insufficient funds, there&#8217;s still an open authorization for the funds that were in the account. An authorization reversal should be completed to remove hold on any cardholder funds. If you don&#8217;t want screaming customers, this is a must! Intelligent technology can automate this process.<\/p>\n<p>Compliance with credit card processing rules can be extremely complicated. Relying upon employee training is futile.
