4.1.3 Credit Auth
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 has travel to Hawaii and he needs to book a room in
advance. He makes a phone call to H hotel. The hotel clerk tells X that
he must authorize a certain amount of money to the hotel in advance to
reserve the room. X gives his credit card information to the hotel clerk.
The clerk performs a Credit Pre-Auth with the S80 POS terminal. X has
booked a room in the hotel and prepares to go on his travel.
