Enabling Refund and General Credit Transactions

In order to process refund or general credit transactions on the Realex gateway, you will need to reach out to the Realex support team and request that this functionality be enabled for your account. Their support team will provide passwords that can be used to enable these transaction types when setting up a new Realex gateway integration.

To perform refund transactions, you will need to contact the Realex support team to request a Rebate Password that you will then pass in as the value for the refund_password gateway field when adding a new Realex gateway to your Spreedly integration.

To perform general credit transactions, you will need to contact the Realex support team to request a Refund Password that you will then pass in as the value for the general_credit_password gateway field when adding a new Realex gateway to your Spreedly integration.

With Sub Account

Realex allows you to specify a sub-account if you’d like. To do so, you’d make the call like so:

  -u 'C7cRfNJGODKh4Iu5Ox3PToKjniY:4UIuWybmdythfNGPqAqyQnYha6s451ri0fYAo4p3drZUi7q2Jf4b7HKg8etDtoKJ' \

Stored credentials

For Realex, sending stored credential fields can be done using Spreedly’s first class support. Sending stored credential data is simple. For any Authorize or Purchase request, you need to include two fields which tell Spreedly a little bit more about the nature of the transaction:

stored_credential_initiator
stored_credential_reason_type

Learn more about how Spreedly enables seamless use of stored credentials by reviewing our Stored Credentials Guide.

Gateway Specific Response Fields

A response from a Realex gateway may contain an AuthCode and a Pasref from the underlying processor.

You can find this information in gateway_specific_response_fields. For example, a transaction could have something like this:

<transaction>
  <token>LgpTNGjsWQs9DwdxcbreUVz0R8p</token>
  <transaction_type>Purchase</transaction_type>
  <gateway_specific_response_fields>
     <realex>
      <authcode>2323214</authcode>
       <pasref>123456</pasref>
     </realex>
  </gateway_specific_response_fields>
</transaction>
