The Preauthorization object
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 AMEX
Multiple partial captures of the preauthorized amount is possible on the card types:
CB_VISA_MASTERCARDAMEX
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.
