Introduction

When processing payments, you may encounter batching issues if you attempt to charge or credit a customer for an amount that exceeds your Merchant Account’s processing limits. If this occurs, your batch will fail and the transaction will not be completed.

Procedure

  1. Be Aware of Limits: Each Merchant Account is assigned specific processing limits for authorizations and credits. Attempting transactions above these limits can result in errors or batch failures.
  2. Identify Batch Failures: If you receive a notification or error indicating a batch failure, review the transaction amounts in your batch to determine if any single transaction exceeds your Merchant Account’s allowed limits.
  3. Confirm Your Limits: To confirm your sales or refund processing limits, contact your Merchant Service Provider directly. They can provide details on your current account thresholds and advise on any necessary steps if you need to request a limit increase.
  4. Next Steps: If you require higher processing limits, request a review or adjustment through your Merchant Service Provider as per their guidelines.
Note:
Outside of your processing limits, there is a processor connection limit which is a hard-coded or systematic threshold that exists between Cybersource and the processing platform. This is considered the hypothetical maximum transaction amount that a client can send from Cybersource to their payment processor, regardless of the limits set by your Merchant Acquirer or Merchant Service Provider.

If you would like to understand your processor connection limits, you can contact Client Services for further assistance.
