Authorization transaction

An authorization transaction places a hold on the cardholder's available fund limit, lowering the cardholder's limit by the amount of the transaction. An authorization transaction does not transfer funds.

Request

To perform an authorization, pass the TRXTYPE=A parameter along with the required connection, user, and credit card transaction parameters to the appropriate endpoint.

Delayed capture transaction

Perform a delayed capture transaction after an authorization transaction to capture the authorization amount to be collected during the net settlement period.

Request

To perform a delayed capture, pass TRXTYPE=D and ORIGID (the ID of the original transaction referenced) along with the required connection, user, and credit card transaction parameters to the appropriate endpoint.

Optionally, if you process payments through PayPal, you can include the CAPTURECOMPLETE parameter. This indicates whether the delayed capture transaction is the last capture you intend to make. Valid values are Y (default) or N. If CAPTURECOMPLETE=Y is passed, any remaining amount of the original reauthorized transaction is automatically released.
