Run a pre-authorization

Use the Hosted Payment Page to run a pre-authorization. Your merchant runs a pre-authorization to hold an amount on a customer’s card, which your merchant then captures later. If your merchant doesn’t capture a pre-authorization, it expires and the issuing bank releases the hold on the customer’s card.

Your merchant can’t run pre-authorizations if they:

• Use a dual pricing or a surcharging program
• Apply convenience fees to transactions

Your merchant can’t run a pre-authorization if the customer uses bank account details. If a customer submits bank account details, our gateway runs a sale instead of a pre-authorization.
