How to process pre-authorisation on your verifone P630 terminal?

Pre-Auth provides a mechanism to allow merchants to be able to authorize the future debiting of a customer account/card. This feature is primarily used in hospitality or other reservation environments. Pre-authorisation transactions can only be performed on scheme credit & debit cards only where you have been authorised to do so.

To process Pre-Auth transactions: 

1. Enter the pre-auth amount in POS.
2. Customer presents card.
3. Enter PIN if applicable.
4. Merchant receipt prints.
5. Customer selects preferred receipt option.
6. Pre-Auth transactions are accessible in the Order History screen.

Pre-authorisation completion

Completion is used to complete an earlier pre-authorisation transaction and charge the

cardholder with the final amount transaction.

To process Completion with same amount: 

1. Initiate the pre-auth completion from the POS.
2. Select Same Amount or New Amount (Max variance is 10%).
3. Once a transaction has been processed, the customer selects the preferred receipt option receipt.
4. After the Pre-authorisation operation is completed, the Order detail screen is shown with only the Receipt option.
