How to keep duplicate credit card charges from being rejected

| 1. You can tell X-Charge to allow duplicate transactions -- in the X-Charge Server, go to Setup, click the Credit Cards section, and check the box to Allow duplicate transactions. (We don't know if there's an equivalent option in ICVerify or where it is -- if you know how to do it, let us know.)

| HOWEVER, we don't necessarily recommend this method because it can result in accidental duplicate charges in certain timing conditions (see the next article).

| 2. You can enter slightly different amounts for the charges. For instance, enter $49 and $51 instead of two $50 charges. This is obvious enough but it's a messy solution.

| 3. If you're trying to make deposits or payments on non-synchronized reservations (as opposed to merchandise sales outside of reservations), then instead of entering separate payments, make the payment for the overall total on the first reservation. Then use the Transfer Deposit or Transfer Payment function to transfer individual amounts of the payment to the other reservations. For instance if you need four $25 deposits, enter a Deposit of $100 charged to the credit card. Then use Transfer Deposit three times to move $25 to each of the other reservations.
