Partial Approval Transactions involve one or more pre-paid credit cards and a balance due that needs to be paid by another tender type. Therefore any transaction involving Partial Approval can be quite different from standard transactions involving single credit/debit/gift/loyalty cards.
The scenarios listed below were designed to illustrate the amounts being processed through the terminal. Each scenario contains two examples:
Part A: using one pre-paid credit card and one other credit card. A Moneris Loyalty Card was also used - to keep it simple, points ratio is 1 to 1.
Part B: using two pre-paid credit cards and one debit card.
In this scenario, the cardholder is making a purchase for a total of $75.00

After the first pre-paid credit card is used, the terminal continues to prompt for payment until the total amount due is charged. Part A requires two cards to be charged. If the cardholder also has a Loyalty Card, they can add points at the end of the purchase by following the Loyalty Purchase prompts (UPDATE POINTS TO ANOTHER CARD?). Part B requires three cards to be charged.
In this scenario, the original Partial Approval Purchase transaction (using the example above) was entered incorrectly and needs to be voided.

Unlike a regular Purchase Void transaction (which requires a single card being voided for a single amount), the Partial Approval Purchase Void requires one void for each card used in the transaction. For Part A, two credit card voids were performed. Once the transaction is completely voided, a separate Loyalty Void will also be required. Part B required three separate voids to correct the transaction.
In this scenario, the cardholder has changed their mind and returned their purchase (using the Purchase example above) for a full refund.

Unlike a regular Purchase Refund transaction (which requires a single card being refunded for a single amount), the Partial Approval Refund requires one refund for each card used in the transaction. For Part A, two credit card refunds were performed. Once the transaction is completely refunded, a separate Loyalty Refund will also be required. Part B required three separate refunds to correct the transaction.
In this scenario, the cardholder has changed their mind again and wishes to re-purchase their items, but their original purchase has already been refunded. To correct the transaction, perform a Refund Void.

Unlike a regular Refund Void transaction (which requires a single refund correction to be performed), the Partial Approval Refund Void requires one refund correction for each credit card used in the transaction. For Part A, two refund voids need to be performed. Once the refund void has been completed, a separate Loyalty Card Purchase will be required to add the points back to the loyalty card. Part B requires three separate refund voids to correct the transaction.
