Process steps
The OneClick payment with authorization and capture, consists of three stages: tokenize the card data, authorize the amount and capture or release the funds.
Card Registration
1. Payment Method Selection
On your website or app, the user selects the payment method. Make sure the payer understands that their card will be enrolled, meaning their data will be stored for future charges as needed.
2. Data Entry
The user provides the card information for payment. Your website or app must verify the card accuracy of the information (example, checking the expiration date or ensuring the card number obeys Luhn’s algorithm). At this point, there is still no guarantee that the card is valid.
3. Data Submission to Kushki
Kushki receives the data and verifies if the card’s associated account has sufficient funds through a validation charge. This charge checks if the card is active and in balance and will be automatically reversed.
4. Notification
At this stage we will show you the result of the card enrollment so that you can display it on screen to the user.
Authorization
1. Amount Authorization
Merchant requests Kushki to authorize the amount on the customer’s card.
2. Funds Verification
Kushki processes authorization with the issuer, verifying funds availability. If this process is successful, it holds that amount on the customer’s card to guarantee it to the merchant.
3. Notification
Kushki returns a response from the authorization process.
Capture or release of funds
1. Execution of the charge
Once you have authorized the amount of your customer’s card, you can request the collection or release of the authorized balance.
2. Notification of transaction status
At this stage you will be notified of the status of the transaction. You can receive these notifications to a webhook that you expose for Kushki to consume. You also have the Kushki console to check the transactions along with the detail of each transaction and the status.
