Capture delay shorter than the authorization validity period
Simplified diagram
On the day of the order:
- The merchant site submits a payment request.
- The payment gateway initiates the cardholder’s authentication process with the issuer.
The regulation imposes cardholder authentication for all CIT transactions.
- After the authentication (challenge or frictionless), the gateway proceeds with the authorization request by providing the cardholder’s authentication details.
- The issuer generates a unique transaction identifier and transmits it in the response.
- The payment gateway notifies the merchant website about the payment result.
Before submission:
- If the transaction is submitted before the initial capture delay expires, the merchant modifies the capture date to D.
- If no action is taken for the transaction, the transaction is captured by the bank on the initially requested date.
