Example: Incremental Authorization
This sequence is an example of how incremental authorizations work:
- The customer reserves a hotel room for two nights at a cost of 200.00 per night. You request an authorization for 400.00. The authorization request is approved.
- The customer orders dinner through room service the first night. You request an incremental authorization of 50.00 for the dinner.
- The customer decides to stay an extra night. You request an incremental authorization of 200.00 for the additional night.
- The customer uses items from the mini-bar. The cost of the mini-bar items is 50.00. You request an incremental authorization of 50.00.
- When the customer checks out, they sign a receipt for 700.00, which is the total of all costs incurred.
- You request a capture for 700.00.
