A complete pre-auth refers to the action where the merchant proceeds with capturing the funds after the initial authorization, typically at the time the product or service is provided.This process involves two steps:
Pre-authorization: The merchant requests a certain amount to be reserved on the customer’s account, usually to confirm the customer has sufficient funds or credit.
Completion (or Capture): The merchant later captures the pre-authorized amount, finalizing the transaction and actually charging the customer's account.
Conditions
You can only complete the pre-auth once.
Pre-auth cannot be completed on transactions that have already expired or been canceled.
For card payments, you can complete the pre-auth with an additional 10% above the original pre-auth amount.
