capture.cgi - DIBS Technical Documentation

capture.cgi

Second part of any transaction is the capture process. Usually this step takes place when the goods are shipped to the customer, and is usually accessed via the Nets administration interface. You may, however, apply your own back-end application and use capture.cgi for capturing transactions. The only requirement is that you are able to do HTTPS requests from your server. The use of capture.cgi is particular beneficial when your back-end application is integrated with for instance your ERP system or other administrative software

Optional input parameters

Parameter	Description
account	If multiple departments utilize the same Nets account, it may be practical to keep the transactions separate at Nets. An account name may be inserted in this field, to separate transactions at Nets. To get an account, please contact the Nets sales department.
close	If set to "true", the Split Payment is closed after capture. Note: the "close" parameter can only be used together with the "splitpay" parameter.
force	If force=true is posted, the Nets server will attempt to capture otherwise expired authorisations (more than 7 days old). This is achieved through an initial re-authorisation of the original transaction, followed by a capture process. Note: You cannot use the split shipment parameters "splitpay" and "close" along with "force".
fullreply	If this variable is set, all variables will be returned (as defined in the Nets admin).
splitpay	If set, the Split Payment functionality is used. Note: the "close" parameter can only be used together with the "splitpay" parameter
