Incremental Auth for POS
With this update, merchants using Gateway-powered terminals can utilize Incremental Auth. This feature allows merchants to increase the amount initially authorized in a Pre-Auth. They can add up to five incremental auth, where each increment will be added to the original Pre-Auth amount.
Note:
-
This feature is currently limited to merchants using TSYS and Fiserv North processors.
-
Only Visa, Mastercard, and Discover cards are accepted for this transaction. American Express is not currently supported.

-
Tap on the menu button from the top left corner of the screen and choose pre-auth.
