A credit card pre-authorisation is when you put a temporary “hold” on funds on your customer’s card and then complete the transaction once the service is completed or goods exchanged.

Enhanced pre-authorisation & completion
Pre-authorisation and completion transactions are great for any business that offers their service in advance of payment
- Pre-authorisations can vastly reduce missed revenue, fraud, and processing costs
- Additional pre-authorisations allow you to increase the value of an open pre-authorisation to include all costs incurred into one, simple completion transaction
- You can process a delayed charge against a completed pre-auth to ensure your customer covers the cost of all services received, even after they have left
Features
Check that a cardholder has sufficient available credit to pay for your services without processing a transaction immediately.
Increase the value of an open pre-authorisation to include all costs incurred into one, simple completion transaction. Completion transactions are processed as ‘card present’ transactions and do not incur additional fees for processing.
Manage your open pre-authorisations with reporting you can access on your eftpos terminal. Quickly get an overview of all of your open pre-auths. Grant staff access to reporting to quickly find misplaced authorisation numbers.
Process a delayed charge against a completed pre-auth to ensure your customer covers the cost of all services received.
