Processing Two Authorizations and a Capture for Multiple Products

When the customer purchases a product that is not yet available, you can request two authorizations and a capture. First request an authorization to ensure that funds are available, and then ship the available products. After the remaining products become available, request follow-on authorization to ensure funds are still available. Ship the remaining products, and request a capture.

Cybersource

links the follow-on authorization to the first authorization and the capture request to the other transactions.

Request an authorization to ensure that funds are available for one or more of the products that are available for immediate shipment. The authorization request requires no additional fields or requirements than a basic authorization.

After the product becomes available, request a follow-on authorization to ensure that funds are still available. The follow-on authorization request must include the

processingInformation.linkId

field in addition to the basic fields required for every authorization request. The

processingInformation.linkId

field in an authorization request triggers the split shipment functionality.

Set the

processingInformation.linkId

field to the

{id}

value from the endpoint.

First Authorization Response: The

{id}

value is returned in the endpoint.

Follow-on Authorization Request:

processingInformation.linkId=SWVdPS5IM

You ship the product and request a capture. The capture request requires only the basic fields as any capture request.

All three transactions (first authorization, follow-on authorization, capture) are linked together in the

Business Center

and in reports.
