Visa has stated that as of the 14th October 2017 all contactless payments (regardless of the value) must be communicated to your acquiring back for real-time authorisation. This move follows the same process as Apple and Android Pay and supports the need to reduce the risks associated with fraud and charge-backs for card holders and merchants.
We need to ensure you are able to comply with Visa’s mandate. Verifone is making configuration changes available on its managed Payment Gateway as follows:
