allowPartialAuth

The allowPartialAuth element is an optional child of both Authorization and Sale transactions, which allows you to specify whether to authorize a partial amount if the entire requested authorization amount exceeds available credit/balance.

If you settle in a currency other than US or Canada, you cannot use partial authorizations. When submitting transactions for private label gift cards (card type of GC), the use of partial authorizations is determined by a setting in the Merchant Profile (on or off globally). This flag has no effect.
