Apple's credit card authorization failing?

I've had a stable AppleID and credit card for years.
Today, I went to enable quick purchase in the Apple Store app on my iPad. It asked me to re-enter the autorization code for my credit card. I did this, but received an error message that the credit card was invalid.
I then went to iTunes on my Mac. I tried to authorize my credit card, but again failed.
I called my bank, and they assured me that the card is fine, and that there was no validation attempt from Apple. And, I was able to buy other things online with that credit card.
After talking for about 30 minutes with Apple support trying to fix "my" problem, a support rep said she wanted to get her supervisor online, and that this appeared to be an emergent problem; she had heard about several recent similar instances.
After holding for the supervisor to come on line, the support rep came back online sans supervisor to say that there was no additional information for me. That I could contact my bank or change credit cards.
I guess it is not worth Apple's time for them to debug this error in their e-commerce system to get my money. What was the Bill Gates joke about him being too rich to take out the two seconds to pick up a $100 bill lying on the street?

It does me some good to hear that I'm not the only one having this problem. I have used the same card for Itunes from the time I signed up for the account. Last night, my payment method is not valid and my card is declined, even though the check payment posted to my credit card. It doesn't matter what computer I try to make purchases from, nor does it matter what card I use, they are all declined. I have contacted the bank to verify that my accounts are active and valid (all three accounts are good). I have emailed the itunes folks about the issue but haven't received any response (of course they have 48 hrs to respond). Not to mention they don't have a number to call either. Very frustrating, even though it is they who are missing out on my dollars.

Transaction should not save if Credit card authorization fails-CRM

Hi all,
In CRM 4.0, we have a requirement where for the payment card authorization if fails the transaction should not get saved.
Is it possible, if yes how?
Would appreciate a response.
thanks in advance,
mdv.

Hi mdv,
First of all you need to define Checking group and then assign the checking group to transaction. This is done in transaction SPRO, CRM->Basic functions->Payment cards.
Once you define and assign the system would automatically give a warning message if the checking fails. But it will still allow the user to save the transaction with warning.
For stopping transaction from being saved if the card authorization fails, then you need to implement BADI for transaction and call the FM COM_PAYCARD_AUTH and if the result of this FM call is failed card authorization, then raise DO_NOT_SAVE exception in the BAdI.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
Thank you very much for your support.
But still i'm getting the same error. I read in one site the below step(Marked as Bold), This could be the reason why the error is occurring..
But I don't know how to check, If any one know about the below step, let me know.
Depending upon the function security options set up by your system administrator, you might be able to create, format, and approve Automatic receipt batches in one step.

Credit Card Payment Failed

I am currently getting the following error when trying to make a purchase with a credit card: "Credit Card Payment Failed There was an error processing your credit card. Please correct this and try again. Invoice Number not found. Please go back and correct this

I have authorize.net they gave me (Gateway Customer ID: and the Transaction Key) that's all I have done in the site. but when I go to (CRM and Orders) the order is there and the credit card was charge to the client. So I hope when you purchase something you get a thank you message.

Multiple Credit Card Authorization

We use credit cards, but also do many partial deliveries against a sales order. It seems that when we have a partial delivery against an open sales order the system overauthorizes the credit card.
Example:
Order
Line Item 10 = $200
Line Item 20 = $100
Total Authorization = $300.
If a delivery note is created against line item 10, but it is not picked or PGI'd and we run the credit authorization program the system creates another authorization for $200 (amount on the delivery), which causes a total authorization of $500 on the order, although the net value of the sales order is only $300. I believe this is due to how Open_Values is populated in function Group V21F.
Has anyone run into similar issues with credit cards and partial deliveries? If so how did you resolve? Doing a Ship Complete is not an option for us based on our business processes.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

Hi Molly,
What did you discover here. Sorry, I know this is an old thread. We are experiencing credit cards remaining with open authorizations because inconsistencies happen between the billing plan and the payment card entries. When the order-related billing fails to post, the credit card authorization remains open and gets triggered each time the order is opened.
We are doing 2 things to manage this - first we are going to try to require the payment card and billing plan information to be synchronized. Next, we are going to use the VOFM routine to wrap the credit card authorization function in a custom function to implement business logic to suppress the call under certain conditions.
I really wish there was an explanation somewhere in regards to what causes a credit card authorization request.

Credit Card authorization error while creating an online sales order in ISA

Hi All,
I did the basic configuration for the webshop for B2C functionality in ISA R/3. When I choose a product from the product catalog, add it to a shopping cart, choose credit card option, enter a valid credit card and expiration date and confirm the order I get the error 'Unsuccessful credit card authorization'. But I can create an order successfully using VA01 transaction in R/3 with the same header and item level data and the credit card data. What can be the reason behind this error and how to fix it? Please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Use of external credit card Authorization code

Hi All,
I am working on a requirement where I am getting an Authorization code for the credit card order from an external payment processor. Now I have to create a Sales Order using process order API by passing the authorization code. The Sales order will be created with the authorization code information.
I want AR to use the same approval code in order to do the final settlement.
Does anybody know if it work like this.
Thanks,

In 11.5.9 this was not possible.
Thinking loud..
You have legacy system which got credit card authorization. YOu have not shipped goods yet, but have blocked funds on their cards.
Now you are moving to Oracle. This will be hooked to your credit card authorization company (say cybersource or payment tech).
You can conver the order with the same authorization code.
But there is nothing in the iPayment tables (IBY in R12) as far as the order line is concerned and neither in the the CC authorizing company.
Hence you cannot use the same authorization code for payment settlement when the order gets invoiced.
This requires not only converion in iPayment and your CC authorizing company, which I think is overwhelming.
So the best think you do is to clear as many order as you can in legacy and manage payments in AR manually.Usually we stopped taking the CC orders 1 month ahead. Your insdustry may not allow that.
You can cancel the orders, let the customers know when converting, reauthorizing in Oracle again.
HTH.
Thanks

Apple/iTunes credit card and Apple Pay

I have changed my Apple/iTunes credit card and now I am unable to enter that card into Apple Pay. I don't get the prompt at the beginning of the entering process to enter the Apple Store credit card as I did before I changed the card.

I Think that the reason so many of us are asking is that it did offer to add the card that was used in iTunes even though it was not supported. When I first setup Apple Pay it asked me if I wanted to use my card associated with iTunes. My card was an unsupported GM Master Card. I chose instead to add my supported Chase debit card. I could never get it to ask me again. And I cannot add the GM card through passbook.
It to may not have completed adding the iTunes card if I had chosen it first, but sure acted like it might had I chosen it first. I think that is why so many of us were asking.

Credit Card Authorization for Confirmed Delivery Date

When a credit card order is placed and the confirmed delivery date is beyond the expiration date on the credit card SAP allows the order to be placed and authorized. If the confirmed ship date is beyond the expiration date of the card then shouldn't SAP block the order? Currently, it is not doing this in our systems.
Is anyone aware of how to change SAP to check if the confirmed delivery date is passed the expiration date of the credit card?
Many Thanks!

Is there a template available for a credit card authorization form?

Is there a template available for a credit card authorization form? (Something professional looking along the lines "I authorize a one time payment in the amount of...select Mastercard, Amex...billing addresss...3 digit code...) Thanks

There probably is, but before you go to far with a PDF form for such information you need to consider how it is to be used.
E-mail is a definite no. Even standard web submission is not acceptable. You would want to submit to a secure web site. If that is the case, it might be better to just use standard HTML processes, but at least https is a needed protocol for things such as credit cards and other personal information. I always look for "https" on line and would probably refuse to use a PDF form that asked for my credit card because of a concern about proper handling. Messing this up could lead to a big law suit against you, suggesting why so many firms just use a payment service.

Credit card authorization

I am building a shopping cart E-commerce application.
How can I get a credit card authorization? i.e How can I call a credit card company services to get credit card approval?
How should I get a secure connection between my company network and credit card company?
What amount of code do I have write?
I am very new to building E-commerce applications. So please explain me in detail about the process.
Can you also suggest me articles or tutorials that explain this phenomenon....
Any help would be appreciated.....
Thanks.

Your system designer should already have given you all this information.
If you are the designer you should know where to look, and a Java Servlets forum isn't it.

Testing credit card authorization scenario using B1 TC

In the image below you can see that the credit card authorization is enabled only for 'Sales Order' screen. Also the credit card payment term is set as 'ZP10NET30'.
Here the expected behavior of our add-on is that, on adding a Sales Order the add-on should prompt "Would you like to authorize this document?" if the customer's payment term matches with the credit card's payment term(in this case 'ZP10NET30'). If Yes is clicked with the prompt, then the lastly added document should be loaded back to the Sales Order screen and a Card Authorization window should be loaded. If No is clicked then the sales order should be added with out loading the Card Authorization window.
Can B1 Test Composer be used for handling such scenario?
Regards,
Sam

Hi Sam,
in my opinion you should prepare database with specific data that encompasses a scenario you test (e.g. with record that causes the prompt appears). Then before running a scenario you should restore prepared database. In test script you can include e.g. "CompareItem" line comparing text label in appeared message form.
