Please note that the Computop Paygate must have a finalized transaction status for the first initial action (authentication/authorisation). This does not apply to 3-D Secure authentications that are terminated by a timeout. The 3-D Secure Timeout status does not count as a completed status in which the ReqID functionality on Paygate does not take effect. Submissions with identical ReqID for an open status will be processed regularly. Notice: Please note that a ReqID is only valid for 12 month, then it gets deleted at the Paygate. |
