Scenario 24: Recurring Transaction
A cardholder has a subscription to a video streaming service. The service has set up a recurring transaction to debit $9.99 from the mobile wallet once per month. The following are true:
- The initial available balance is $1000.
- The network is Visa.
Sequence of events
Events in the same step have the same timestamp.
- Visa sends an authorization request for –9.99 over network rails. The request indicates that it is a recurring charge.
- Galileo approves the authorization and puts a 9.99 hold on the account. The available balance is now 990.01. Galileo sends the
BAUT: authevent message. - Visa sends a batch file with the –9.99 transaction.
- Galileo backs out the 9.99 hold and posts –9.99 to the account. The available balance is still 990.01. Galileo sends a
SETL: setlevent message.
