Pre-Authorization

Posted December 07, 2020
Pre-Authorization
Pre-authorization charge is a temporary hold placed by a merchant on the customer's credit card or debit card to validate payment information.  A Pre-authorization charge of approximately $10-$12 is assessed when a person saves their credit or debit card in Stored Payment Info to use with Finance - Auto-Pay or Automated Payment Processing (Development) for Donations.  The charge is voided within a few business days.
