When the customer purchases a product that is not yet available, you can request an authorization and a sale. First request an authorization to ensure that funds are available. After the product becomes available, ship the product and request a sale.

Request an authorization to ensure that funds are available before the product is available for immediate shipment. The authorization request requires no additional fields or requirements than a basic authorization.

When the product becomes available, ship the product and request a sale. The follow-on authorization requires you to submit a sale request that includes the

processingInformation.linkId

field in addition to the basic fields required for every sale request. The

processingInformation.linkId

field in an authorization request triggers the split-shipment functionality.

processingInformation.linkId

field to the

value from the endpoint.

value is returned in the endpoint.
