Cashfree payment gateway now supports Pre Auth on credit/debit card transactions. Pre Auth flow allows you to authorize any amount of funds from your customer’s card and capture these funds (or any part of it) at a later time. This is different from typical credit/debit card transactions where capture of funds happens immediately after transaction is authorized.

Casfree PG also allows you to void authorization or any transactions that haven’t been captured yet. This will deauthorize all the fund or the transaction and credit it back to the customer’s card immediately. Both void and capture can also be done manually on the merchant dashboard.

Note:

• You can initiate a capture, void call only once per transaction. It should be done within 7 days from the date of transaction.

• Captured transactions can’t be made void or vice versa.

• Any amount blocked for transactions that are not captured within the 7 day period will be sent back to the customer.

• Amount blocked for transactions will be sent back to the customer account immediately when you mark transactions as void.

• Captured amount will be settled during the next settlement cycle
