Re-enter Transactions

TSYS host supports re-enter transactions, which allow merchants to add a voided transaction back into the batch. Sale and Refund transactions for Debit and EBT are eligible. There is no host request sent. Receipts will look similar to regular FORCE/Post Auth or Refund receipts. During settlement, re-enter transactions are treated like a regular sale or refund transaction. Re-enter transactions will not be added to the SAF table, even if host is offline, as they can be processed with no host communication.

  • Pre-swipe/dip support
  • FSA transactions
