Does anyone who works in customer service know how to override a "duplicate transaction" error?

[KostasKouvalis]

How many times has this happened to you? A customer asks to pay for two rooms or campsites, but your system doesn't let you ring them up symoytainaiously.

You process the transaction for the first room, then try to ring up the other room, only to find out that the sale cannot be processed because it's a duplicate transaction.

Modern systems implemented a protection to prevent duplicate transaction as a result of fraud on a credit card.

Check with your manager what the latency time of your system is. In other words, you need to wait at least 2 minutes to perform another transaction using the same credit card to avoid receiving this warning.

There is no way to bypass this delay in performing a second transaction using the same credit card.

Those that have stolen a credit card will try to perform as many transaction in the shortest time possible before the central system detects a fraud and blocks the credit card.
