Why it happens
- The transaction was processed after a decline.
- No authorization was requested.
- The authorization was for a different card or amount.

Authorization Non-Compliance
The merchant did not get a valid authorization for the transaction, and the card issuer cannot collect the amount from the cardholder.
What to send to fight it
- The approval code and the authorization record.
- The transaction record that links the sale to that approval.
- Processor reports showing the authorization response.
How to prevent it
- Never submit a transaction that was declined.
- Check that each settled transaction carries a matching approval.
