- This transaction type will handle PreAuth CP and CNP. For CNP transactions, the Card number can be entered on the PED.
- The topuptoken can be used to subsequently topup this authorization (via incremental topup).
- Currently a topup is not supported by Amex,Girocard and some Visa/Mastercard issuers. The terminal will decline these transactions.
