Authorize.net does not allow settling transactions for more than the original amount.
We do, however, have an option available that authorizes a hidden surcharge.
It's a feature which is used together with Authorize.net and delayed capture. Since Authorize.net doesn't allow to increase the order amount with delayed capture, this feature accommodates it by adding a surcharge so you can adjust the pricing however you would like on an order.
-
The user is not aware of the surcharge e.g basket, checkout, order conf, order history, etc.
-
When the order arrives on the POS you can make the appropriate adjustment to capture the correct/final amount.
NOTE: it requires enabled Delayed Capture
How to Enable
It is set up on the Payment Plugin Configuration page. The option is called:
|
✔Add a hidden authorization surcharge to transactions (requires WSM configuration option 'Set Hidden Authorization Surcharge % for supported payment plugins' and Delayed Capture)
|
![]() |
This option lets you set the percentage of the order total that is additionally preauthorized on each transaction with supported payment plugins. Enter the amount as a percentage, e.g 25 = 125% of the order total will be authorized. Requires Delayed Capture and other corresponding options to be enabled in the payment processor configuration panel.
