Deferrals
Giving you greater flexibility
Deferred payments – also known as ‘pre-authorisations’ – are fully supported by PayPoint.net.
The risk-free authorisation of a payment, without the cardholder being immediately debited, is ideal for businesses requiring a delay in a transaction for their own operational reasons – such as the preparation and despatch of goods – or to allow the review of customers details.
Either way, deferrals can help you to develop new, innovative and more efficient billing models.
Key features:
- Lets you manage transactions in line with your business-specific needs – such as the in-house screening of new clients
- Deferred payments may either be completed via a separate future request or according to automated requirements
- Savings can be made by replacing refunds with the option to simply not complete a deferred payment
- Available via hosted payment requests, the Virtual Terminal and the API (Application Programming Interface)
- Delayed completion of a transaction is also possible via the PayPoint.net Merchant Extranet
