Pre-Authorizations

This section provides the information you need in order to process a pre-authorization.
A pre-authorization enables you to authorize a payment when the final amount is unknown. It is typically used for lodging, auto rental, e-commerce, and restaurant transactions.
For a pre-authorization:
  • The authorization amount must be greater than zero.
  • The authorization must be submitted for capture within 30 calendar days of its request.
  • After 30 days, the issuer will release the hold on the authorized amount.
