What are the benefits of using Auth/ Completion transaction types?
The meter could be programmed to automatically send an auth after the card is inserted and while the user is choosing parking time span, the meter receives the results of the auth (typically 3-4 seconds). This means that when the user has selected the time to park (and the final amount is then known to the meter), the meter already has the results of the authorisation – if a stolen or expired card has been used the transaction does not proceed further, otherwise for an approved authorisation, the meter can proceed to print the ticket and, if no printer malfunction and ticket has been dispensed, the completion can be sent. The cardholder is provided with the impression of an instant issuance of ticket – same speed as coin is most cases. If the ticket cannot be issued, then the completion phase is not sent – the auth does not result in a charge being applied to the cardholder account unless it is followed by an auth.
