Complete Pre-Authorization

When you pre-authorize an amount of money on a client’s card, the card issuer reserves that amount for a period that varies with each user and card issuer. This reserve (or freezing of funds) reduces the client’s available spending limit. 

If the pre-authorized amount is greater than the final sale, the unused portion of pre-authorized amount remains reserved until the card issuer releases the reserved funds. When you complete a pre-authorization, you release the unused funds earlier.

To complete a pre-authorization:

1. Touch the Action button on the main screen.     
2. Touch the Settings button.     
3. Enter the Merchant password and touch OK.    
4. On the Settings page, touch Reports.     
5. On the Reports page, touch Batch Details.     
6. Scroll to or search for the pre-authorization transaction.    
7. Touch the pre-authorization transaction line to expand and view the details.     
8. Touch the Complete button.     
9. Use the number pad to enter the final purchase amount and touch OK. A transaction summary appears.     
10. Touch I Confirm the Request to complete the pre-authorization and release the unused funds.     
11. To print the customer receipt, touch Print or None if the client does not want a transaction receipt.
