Submitting Account Verifications
Account verification, also known as zero dollar authorization (TRXTYPE=A), verifies credit
card information. While you pass TRXTYPE=A for account verification and normal
authorization, account verification differs from authorization in the following ways:
Always pass the AMT value 0. If you pass any other amount, the transaction becomes a
normal authorization that places a hold on the cardholder’s open-to-buy limit.
Although the RESULT value returned is 0 (Approved), the RESPMSG value returned is
Verified rather than Approved.
NOTE: Payflow returns RESULT value 4, Invalid Amount, if the processor does not support
account verifications.
When To Use Account Verifications
Use account verification to validate account numbers and other authentication elements such
as CVV2 and AVS. You can also use an account verification as a reference transaction. See
“Submitting Reference Transactions (Tokenization)” on page 66.
