+    + If this transaction flag is unset, the application is not expecting to
+      handle a partial authorzation.  So, either set the gateway flag disabling
+      partial authorizations, or (if your gatweay does not have such a
+      setting), immediately void any partial authorization received and
+      return is_success 0.
+    + If this transaction flag is set, the application can handle a partial
+      authorization.  Make sure the flag to enable them is passed to the
+      gateway, if necessary.  When a partial authorization is received, the
+      amount must be returned as "partial_auth_amount":
+        $self->partial_auth_amount( $partial_amount );
+      For normal full authorizations, "partial_auth_amount" must not be set.
