Pre-Authorised Transactions

Card preauthorisation allows a merchant preauthorise a specific amount to be paid by a customer. Once preauthorised successfully, a hold is put on the amount specified, and left for the merchant to capture that amount at a later time or date. Merchants after preauthorising can perform the following actions:

• Void: This allows the merchant release the hold on the funds i.e. if value was not given for the service, the merchant would typically be required to void the transaction.
• Refund: This allows the merchant refund a preauthorised amount or captured amount.
• Capture: This allows a merchant capture or collect the preauthorised funds from the customer i.e. after value or service has been given to the customer a merchant would capture the preauthorised amount.

Preauth expiration

Once an amount is preauthorised on a card and not captured within Seven (7) working days, the hold on the funds is automatically reversed

🚧

We don’t charge any fees on uncaptured charges, and fees, after you capture, are the same as any other charge.
