Variable Description
partial_payments_id Unique identifier returned when making the original transaction. This should only be used for secondary transactions.

settle_partial: Settles any amount of tender collected (captured partial auth's and approved partial sales) at cut off.
payment_in_full: Required that any split tendered transaction is collected in-full before settlement gets initiated.
type This variable can be passed the value 'complete_partial_payment' which will complete a payment_in_full transaction that has not been collected in full. This allows industries that require payment_in_full but subsequently decide to still settle the transaction even though it has not been collected in full.

Retail & Internet Merchant Accounts

An Internet Merchant Account is sometimes referred to as a "MOTO" (Mail Order & Telephone Order) Account because they all require the ability to process a credit card payment when there is no physical credit card present to be swiped. A standard retail "swipe" merchant account does not allow processing of these "card-not-present" transactions.
