Create processing codes and transaction types
With Control Center, you can initially map a transaction type only with one processing code, but you can add more later. When you create a new transaction type, Control Center automatically creates a corresponding reversal processing code and transaction type for you.
Create a processing code
To create a processing code:
- From the main menu, select Configurations > Processing codes & transaction types.
The Processing codes & transaction types screen displays with the Processing codes tab open by default. - On the Processing codes & transaction types screen, select Create.
- On the Processing code tab, enter a unique Processing code name and an ID using 1–6 letters and numbers.
- Select the type of balance impact for the transaction. Balance impact indicates how a transaction affects an account: it can credit funds, debit funds, or have no impact, known as Zero balance.
- Optionally, select the appropriate tags to identify related processing codes.
- Select Next.
- On the Reversal processing code tab, select either Create new or Select existing.
- If you chose Create new:
- Enter a unique Reversal processing code name or leave the default.
- Define a Reversal processing code ID using 1–6 letters and numbers.
- If you chose Select existing, choose the Select button next to the existing Reversal processing code you want to add.
- If you chose Create new:
- In the Partial reversal processing code section, you will select or create a partial reversal processing code. This code is used to cancel or reverse part of a previously authorized transaction. It releases a portion of the funds. For example, it adjusts the payment amount when a customer returns part of an order.
Select Use default, Create new, or Select existing.- If you chose Create new:
- Enter a unique Partial reversal processing code name or leave the default.
- Define a Partial reversal processing code ID using 1–6 letters and numbers.
- Select Next.
- If you chose Select existing:
- Choose the Select button next to the existing Partial reversal processing code you want to add.
- Select Next.
- If you chose Use default, select Next.
- If you chose Create new:
- On the Review tab, verify that the information you provided is correct and select Finish.
The Processing codes details screen for the processing code you just created is displayed. - Since no transaction types have been created yet for this processing code, its status on the Authorization PC tab will be Missing TT. To add a transaction type, select the Add transaction type button at the bottom of the screen.
For details on adding a transaction type to your new processing code, follow the instructions in the Add a transaction type to an existing processing code guide.
To create a processing code using the APIs, use the Create processing code endpoint.
