Pre-Authorization

Verifies and locks funds on the customer’s credit card. The funds are locked for a specified amount of time based on the card issuer.

To retrieve the funds that have been locked by a Pre-Authorization transaction so that they may be settled in the merchant’s account, a Completion transaction must be performed.

Things to consider:

  • If a Pre-Authorization transaction is not followed by a Completion transaction, it must be reversed via a Completion transaction for 0.00.
  • A Pre-Authorization transaction may only be "completed" once.
