7.5 Pre-authorisation Extend
Pre-Authorisation Extend is used to increase the number of days that the
Pre-Authorisation is in effect, up to a further 30 days. The value of the original
Pre-Authorisation is not changed.
A Pre-Authorisation Extend can be processed in one of three ways:
1. Using the RRN from the Mastercard Pre-Authorisation transaction receipt,
within 30 days of the original pre-authorisation transaction.
(Note: The 30-day expiry may vary if a Pre-Authorisation extend has been
performed).
2. Using the RRN from the Visa Pre-Authorisation transaction receipt, within 1 day,
7 days or 30 days (depending on the type of business you have and how your
Pre-Authorisation is processed) of the original Pre-Authorisation transaction.
(Note: The 1 day, 7 days or 30 days expiry may vary if a Pre-Authorisation extend
has been performed).
3. Using the Search Transactions > Advanced Search function to browse.
The terminal can search the Pre-Authorisation transaction for 14 days.
(Note: If the Pre-Authorisation transaction is no longer present, use the RRN
to complete the transaction).
