PRE-AUTHORIZATION
This is a new feature on our system that allows
you to control the charge on your customer’s visa and master card.
This is found when you are processing both email
transaction and direct pay transaction.
- Charge Now
This is the first pre- authorization option that
we have.
Once the card details are filled in by the
customer into our system for charging, the card is charged immediately.
2.Authorize-Manual charge.

This is the second Pre-Authorization option that
we have.
Once the Card Details are filled in by the
customer on our system for charging, the system communicates with the card
issuing bank of the customer and the amount charged is withheld by the system.
Then you as the provider will have to log in to
the direct pay online account, open the transaction and click on Charge button.
If you want the amount to go back to the
customer’s card, then you click on the Cancel button.
3. Authorize - Auto charge.

This is the third Pre-Authorization option that
we have.
Once the Card Details are filled in by the
customer on our system for charging, the system communicates with the card
issuing bank of the customer again and the amount is again withheld by the
system.
Then the system will charge the amount based on
the Payment time limit that you had set for the customer when sending the email
transaction and the Direct Pay transaction.
