Voiding a Credit Card Prepayment

If you use Payment Processing, you can use the O/E Pre-authorization screen to void a pre-authorized credit card payment for an order if the payment has not yet been processed. More...

Merchant service providers charge a fee for voiding a credit card pre-authorization. However, this fee is lower than the fee that is charged if you do not void or capture a pre-authorization and allow it to expire. For this reason, we recommend that you void any pre-authorization that will not be captured.

Tip: On the O/E Order Entry screen, you can use the Order Number Finder to view pre-authorization status. If a credit card payment has been pre-authorized but not processed for the order, the Order Has Pre-authorization column for the order displays "Yes."
