Use this information to process a pre-authorization.

Response Field Handling

When you receive the

AUTH_DECLINE_CAPTURE_POSSIBLE

value in the

errorInformation.reason

field of an authorization response, it indicates that a capture attempt will not be rejected automatically. Before processing the capture, verify that it is permitted in this scenario by reviewing the card scheme’s First Ride Risk and shared‑liability rules.

For more information about the field, see the

errorInformation.reason
