Understanding User Limits and Velocity
User limit helps in restricting the number of offers/budgets availed by a customer.
Here the velocity has been set to 2, which means during the whole offer period, your customer can avail the offer only twice.
Along with restricting the number of offers, we have added a budget limit of Rs 800 per user. Now, the user can avail two offers, but to a maximum budget of Rs 800. Lets the user avail an offer of ₹600 in the first transaction, during the second transaction, the customer will only be able to avail a discount of ₹200. If the second transaction has an eligible discount of more than ₹200, the customer will not be able to get any discount here
Refresh Limits
The customer limits configured can be reset at regular intervals of X days/weeks/months from the time of the user’s last transaction date.
User Limits or Velocity check with Tokenization
This section describes how user limits/velocity works with tokenized cards.
Merchant Using PayU’s Tokenization Service
PayU uses the card hash against which velocity will be run.
Plain Card Transaction
During a plain card transaction, a card hash will be generated against the card number and the velocity will be run against this card hash
Note:
Card hash is a unique identifier that is generated from the card number but cannot be used to trace back the card number
During Card Tokenization
PayU saves the card hash mapped with the token number during the tokenization of the card. For any future tokenized transactions, the card hash mapped against the token number will be used for the velocity checks
Saved Card/Token Card Transaction
For a transaction initiated with a tokenized card, the card hash mapped (at the time of token creation) against the tokenized card will be used to run the velocity. This will ensure that the velocity is maintained against both a plain card as well as a token card transaction
Merchant Using Third-Party Tokenization
In this case, the velocity check will be run on the user token, that is using the user_token parameter that’s passed in the payment request. This user token sent needs to be unique across the plain card and tokenized card for the velocity check to work properly.
Note:
PAR solution is not fully implemented by all the networks, hence velocity check via PAR is not available currently.
