Accounting and Reversal processes
Payment methods, previously described, support different accounting method to require the settlement of amounts. Depending on the specific properties of your business, you can choose the following types of posting:
- IMPLICIT: in conjunction with the payment phase, every approved transaction is implicitly confirmed.
- EXPLICIT: after the payment phase you must provide explicit confirmation of the approved transactions that you what to post and settle. You can confirm the transactions from previous days, provided they are not later than 4 calendar days. In case of accounting method modification to implicit, you must manually confirm, through the Back-Office portal, the transactions that fall within the unmanaged gap of the new configuration.
- VIA FILE: after the payment phase, a file must be sent to Nexi containing the data only from the approved authorisations that you wish to post or settle.
- DEFERRED: every approved transaction is implicitly confirmed after a predefined number of days. In case of accounting day reduction compared to a previous configuration,or modification in favor of implicit accounting, you must manually confirm, through the Back-Office portal, the transactions that fall within the unmanaged gap of the new configuration.
The following table shows for each payment method Modalities for the accounting compatible and any temporal limits, after authorization, within which process the request.
| Implicit | Explicit | Batch | Deferred | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Credit Cards | Yes | 4 days | 4 days | 4 days |
| BancomatPay | Yes | No | No | No |
| MyBank | Yes | No | No | No |
| PayPal | Yes | 29 days | No | No |
If an approved transaction is not captured, the credit card ceiling will remain blocked for an amount equal to the authorised amount. After a given number of days, the authorisation will no longer apply and the blocked amount will be available again; this number of days may vary based on the issuing bank of the credit card used.
If after a confirmation you need to re-credit a holder for the payment amount or part of it, you must perform a reversal operation, starting from the day after the payment confirmation date.
