Description

The Preauthorization object enables you to reserve funds on a card so they can be captured later. A preauthorization thus has two parts:
  • Authorization of the transaction, handled by the Preauthorization object
  • Capture of the funds, handled by the Preauthorized PayIn object
The preauthorized funds can be captured within 6.5 days of a successful authorization. If you require a hold period of longer than 6.5 days, see the Deposit Preauthorization object. Note that preauthorizations may not be permitted by some issuers and for some card types.
Note – Multi-capture available with Visa, Mastercard, CB, and AMEXMultiple partial captures of the preauthorized amount is possible on the card types:
  • CB_VISA_MASTERCARD
  • AMEX
Further captures of the RemainingFunds can be made if the PaymentStatus is WAITING.There is no limit to the number of captures that can be made if each is valid.
