The incremental authorisation feature allows you to increment the value of your original pre-authorisation for scenarios where you need to charge your customer a higher total amount.
For example:
Estimated fare scenario
- Businesses such as taxi companies that would like to take credit card payments online where the final amount is not certain.
Tipping scenario
- Businesses such as restaurants or delivery services where the customer wishes to add an additional amount as a tip before making the payment.
Amending an order scenario
- Businesses such as restaurants or delivery services where the customer wishes to add more items to their order before making the payment.
