Transaction types and transaction flows

The following table describes the transaction types in CardCorp Hub.

Transaction type	Name	Description

CP	Capture	Capture a pre-authorised amount to credit the merchant account.
DB	Debit	Debit the customer account and credit the merchant account.
RF	Refund	Credit the customer account with an amount that is less than or equal to a previously approved payment.
CB	Chargeback	The customer has received a refund directly from the issuer.
RV	Reversal	Reverse the reservation of a pre-authorised amount.
RDR	Rapid Dispute Resolution	Refund of a payment to prevent a future chargeback.
R1R	Rapid Dispute Resolution Reversal	Reversal of an RDR
CBR	Chargeback Reversal	Reverse a chargeback, for example, if a refund was issued after a chargeback was made.
CB2	Pre-arbitration/ Chargeback2	Repeat a chargeback because the issuer did not accept the merchant's challenge.
