Charging a Pre-Authorisation
If a booking has a pre-authorisation attached, you can charge it directly through Now Book It. Bookings with a pre-auth show a card symbol in the diary.
Charge from the Payments tab
- Open the booking.
- Go to the Payments tab.
- Click Manage Pre-Auth.
- Choose Release or Charge in the pop-up window.
- Confirm = the payment will be released or charged.
Charge by changing the booking status
- Change the booking status to Cancelled or No Show.
- Choose Release or Charge in the Manage Pre-Auth pop-up window.
- Confirm — the payment will be released or charged.
Good to know
You can charge less than the full pre-auth amount using the scroll buttons next to Amount. Releasing a pre-auth is final, you can't recover the payment details afterwards. The customer gets an email as soon as the pre-auth is charged.
