Ideas

[#1]

Hi all,

I want to be able when a user requests a service on my system to:

1. authorize only a transaction

2. capture previously authorized amount (from step 1) for a certain date in the future (within 30 days, how long the authorization code is active)

I don't think clients should be implementing some sort of scheduler for when a "capture previously authorized transaction" should occure.

A use case would be car rental:

Online I book a car and provide my credit card info.

The rental company authorizes my credit card and does the capture on the date when the rental date is set.

This is an interesting suggestion.  Did you have a specific timeframe to delay, say 7-15 days?  Do any other developers have a similar need?

Any date between the initial authorization and authrization code expiration date should be used. A result can show whether the cature failed due to expired auth code. Does that make sense?

Prefered would be a date and time especially for systems which have booking, cancellation or modification cut-offs defined in hours. Right now I'm using a Azure Scheduler to trigger my process that implements payment logic which, by my undestanding, should be in Authorize.Net :D

Any news on this?
