Card operation clearing & settlement

Introduction​

The clearing process consists in sending once a day one callback CardOperationCreatedOrUpdated per cleared authorisation.

The content of the callback is the same as that of the API. Therefore, you should directly use the callback to populate your databases.

/!\ One callback is received for each authorisation cleared. This means that you can receive dozens or hundreds of callbacks over a short period, depending on the number of transactions carried out by your cardholders.

FAQ for settlement​

FAQ1 - Can the amount of the cleared transaction be different from the authorisation?​

Yes, in the majority of cases the trend is downwards, but there are a few rare cases where the trend is upwards.

FAQ2 - Can other information change?​

The information conveyed by the cardAuthorizationDetail section will not be modified, but the data conveyed by cardClearingDetail may differ from the values of the authorization.

FAQ3 - Should I show my user the authorisation information or the compensation information?​

We recommend displaying the compensation information, even though this may lead to changes in the details of the operation.
