High accessible Pre-authorizations.
Temporarily hold an amount on your customer’s credit card. During the hold period, the funds are unavailable to the customer. The funds can be captured if needed, for example, when someone checks out of a hotel, or when they return their rental vehicle.
Use cases for Pre-Authorization
There are a lot of use cases for pre-authorization payments. A few are explained to show the flexibility of our product.
Hotels, B&B’s & Hostels
Hotels use pre-authorization payments while guests stay in hotel rooms, charging for the stay and once the guest has checked out, they refund their charge minus costs.
Car & Vehicle Rental
Car and vehicle rental companies can use pre-authorizations to make security deposits before a client takes the car, and refund it in full or partially when they return the vehicle.
Rental Equipment
Equipment can be really expensive. Before renting it out customers pay a security deposit, and you release it when they bring back the equipment.
