退單非常罕見，但可能由於預授權不符（最終收費與初始授權保留金額不同），或者客戶認為他們被收取了未收到的燃油費用而發生。
對於無人值守終端機的方案規則，例如 Visa 和 Mastercard 對自動加油機的規定，通常允許特定的預授權和最終扣款流程（例如，固定預授權金額加上加油後的對賬）。 Cardflo 健全的基礎架構支援這些針對無人值守支付終端機的專業方案規則，確保自動燃油銷售的合規且高效處理。

常見問題
What are the key differences in fraud liability for EMV vs. magnetic stripe transactions at Automatic Fuel Dispensers in MCC 5542?
For EMV chip transactions at AFDs in MCC 5542, the liability for counterfeit card fraud typically shifts from the merchant to the card issuer, provided the merchant's terminal is EMV-enabled and the transaction is processed using the chip.
For magnetic stripe transactions, especially internationally issued cards not performing chip processing, the merchant usually retains liability for counterfeit fraud. Cardflo advocates for full EMV compliance to leverage these liability shifts and minimise merchant risk.
How does the pre-authorisation process at AFDs affect customer experience and potential chargebacks?
AFDs often use pre-authorisations to ensure funds are available, placing a temporary hold on a larger amount (e. g.
, £100) than the actual fuel purchase. This can cause customer confusion or overdrafts if they misinterpret the hold as the final charge.
While not a chargeback trigger in itself, it can lead to customer service inquiries or disputes over the 'incorrect amount' if the final settlement is delayed or unclear.
Cardflo's solutions handle pre-authorisation and final capture processes efficiently, with clear communication to the card schemes to avoid customer dissatisfaction.
What is the importance of Level 2 and Level 3 data for transactions at AFDs in MCC 5542?
While AFDs primarily process consumer cards, Level 2 and Level 3 data (such as VAT amount, customer reference number, cost centre) are particularly important for fleet and commercial customers using corporate cards.
Providing this additional data can qualify transactions for lower interchange rates, reducing processing costs for the merchant. Cardflo's AFD processing solutions are designed to capture and transmit available Level 2/3 data ensuring merchants benefit from optimal interchange qualification.
