This section describes the details of using the GOrealtime Gateway in Full Pass mode. You should have already read the Basics section before reading these instructions.

1. Data Path  

In Full Pass Mode, the shopper enters your site, makes purchase choices and is passed to the GOrealtime Gateway when the total amount is known and the shopper is ready to pay with their credit card. Your site passes every necessary piece of information for the credit card transaction to take place. The GOrealtime Gateway will immediately process the transaction without having to ask your shopper for additional information. To see a diagram of this sequence of events, point your mouse here.

In Terse mode, there are no status messages during the transaction. When the transaction is complete, the GOrealtime Gateway will return "TRANSACTION DECLINED [reason]" or "'TRANSACTION APPROVED". Your software can capture this response and present the shopper with your own customized information.
