Gift Card Notes:
Support for partial authorizations is a card brand mandate which eases acceptance of major card branded
open loop gift cards by allowing their remaining to be depleted without a decline and call to the issuer to
find out what the balance is. Merchants who opt not to support partial authorizations may be charged
fees/fines for not doing so.
Because of the above, we document support for partial authorizations as being a requirement of our EMV
interfaces. It is however, still possible to send a request where partial auth support is not indicated and this
would be honored by most processors, with TSYS Summit being the big exception. If you do not indicate
support for partials to TSYS you will get an error.
