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.
Caution – Multi-capture only available with CB, Visa, and MastercardMultiple partial captures of the preauthorized amount is only possible on cards of type CB_VISA_MASTERCARD.
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.
