Zero dollar card verification

In general zero amount transactions are automatically approved without going to the gateway. There is now an exception to this rule.

A card can be verified in limited circumstances without an authorize/void amount. The card can be verified for $0. This can include, if the gateway supports it, a 3DS/SCA challenge on that verification.

This is an alternative to the Validate Card trial configuration. Setup the campaign product with zero price and shipping on cycle 1. You can use the Trial Enabled checkbox if needed (perhaps you want to use accelerated trials or the Trial status in reporting). Set the Trial Auth Type to None (this is required. The zero dollar option is not compatible with other trial options).

The zero verification is supported on the following gateways. Use the zeroAuth checkbox.

This feature may not be enabled by default on your gateway account. Please confirm the functionality with the gateway.

The functionality is not yet supported on card updates. The Validate Card checkbox on a card update will do an authorize/void of the validation amount.
