Merchant-Initiated Incremental Transaction with
Token Management

An incremental authorization is used to increase the total amount authorized for a payment if the initial authorization does not cover the total cost of goods and services. An incremental transaction is an additional amount to the original authorization. The final authorized total includes amounts for both the initial and the incremental authorizations. Incremental transactions are limited to certain merchant categories, such as rental, lodging, transit, amusement parks, restaurants, and bars.
This section describes how to process a merchant-initiated incremental transaction using these
Token Management
 token types:
Customer
Customer tokens store one or more customer payment instrument tokens and shipping address tokens.
Including a customer token eliminates the need to include billing information, card information, and the previous transaction's ID.
"paymentInformation": {
  "customer": {
    "id": "07C9CA98022DA498E063A2598D0AA400"
  }
}
Payment Instrument
Payment instrument tokens store an instrument identifier token, card information, and billing information. Payment instruments are not linked to a customer token.
Including a payment instrument eliminates the need to include billing information, card information, and the previous transaction's ID. 
"paymentInformation": {
  "paymentInstrument": {
    "id": "07CA24EF20F9E2C9E063A2598D0A8565"
  }
}
Instrument Identifier
Instrument identifier tokens store only a PAN. Including an instrument identifier eliminates the need to include a PAN and the previous transaction's ID.
"paymentInformation": {
  "instrumentIdentifier": {
    "id": "7010000000016241111"
  }
}
To create an incremental transaction using the
BA360
, choose one of these options:
  • Account Top Up
  • No Show

Supported Card Types

These are the supported card types for processing credentialed transactions:
  • American Express
  • Carta Si
  • Cartes Bancaires
  • Dankort
  • Delta
  • Eurocard
  • JCB
  • Maestro (UK Domestic)
  • Mastercard
  • Visa
  • Visa Electron

Limitations

You can request up to 100 incremental authorizations for each transaction, in addition to the original authorization.
Interchange optimization and split shipments are not supported.

American Express Requirements

When you are processing a payment with an American Express credit card, you are required to reverse any remaining authorized funds that are not captured. For example, if the total of the initial authorization and all of the incremental authorizations is $100, and the amount that you capture is $80, then you must reverse the difference of $20.
To reverse funds from incremental authorizations, send a partial authorization reversal request. For more information, see Partial Authorization Reversal.

Time-Out Authorization Reversals for Incremental Transactions

When you do not receive a response message after sending an incremental transaction request, you can reverse the incremental transaction. When processing a time-out authorization reversal for an incremental transaction, include the
clientReferenceInformation.transactionId
 request field and set it to the
clientReferenceInformation.code
 field value that your payment terminal assigned to it in the incremental transaction.
For more information about how to process a time-out authorization reversal, see Time-Out Authorization Reversal.
After successfully processing a time-out authorization reversal, you can resend the incremental authorization with a new unique field value in the
clientReferenceInformation.code
 request field.
