Merchant handling

Actions to be taken

Tell the cardholder the amount that was approved. Complete the purchase only if the remaining amount is paid through another accepted method; otherwise follow the acquirer’s cancellation or reversal procedure.

This is conservative merchant guidance derived from the published response meaning. Current scheme, acquirer, processor, merchant advice, and transaction-specific rules take precedence.
