Pre-Authorization

Pre-Authorization

Greatly reduce the risk of fraud and processing costs, by performing a pre-authorization on your customer's card. 

How do pre-authorizations work? 

A pre-authorization charge is when a merchant imposes a temporary hold of funds to ensure the card has a sufficient amount available for any products or services purchased. With a pre-authorization, you will hold your clients' funds for a few days, instead of debiting their account.

In this way, as a merchant, you can benefit from avoiding chargebacks caused by fraudsters using stolen cards or avoiding refunds by confirming inventory first.

Our gateway supports pre-authorizations.
