Capture or reverse a preauthorisation

After you make a pre-authorisation transaction, you can capture it or reverse it.

Capture preauthorisations within 7 days because issuers may make them expire after 7 days.

You can make multiple captures for partial amounts of the PA up to the full amount of the PA.

When you reverse a PA, enter the full amount.

Do not capture or reverse low-value preauthorisations for card registration.
