Notice: Authorization API (v1) is scheduled for deprecation. Use v2 for future integrations.

​
Key Points

  • The Authorization API secures the specified amount on the customer’s payment method, but the funds are not transferred until a capture is performed.

  • Capture: Finalizes the transaction by transferring the authorized funds from the customer’s account.

  • Void: Cancels the authorization, releasing the held funds back to the customer.

  • Use cases for this API include scenarios where the exact final amount may vary, such as hotel bookings, car rentals, or pre-order situations.
