Note
An Auth transaction represents a pre-authorization that does NOT
charge the credit card. It reserves the requested amount and places a
hold on the customer’s open-to-buy. To charge the card after an AUTH
a POSTAUTH transaction must be completed.
Example: X will have a travel to Hawaii and he needs to book room in
advance. He made a phone call to H hotel. The hotel clerk told X that he
should authorize certain money to the hotel in advance. X gave credit
card information to the hotel clerk. The clerk does Credit Pre-Auth with
the S300 POS terminal and ECR. X has booked a room in the hotel and
prepared to go on his travel.
