Authorize Payment
Freshcom allows you to authorize a payment against a card without capturing the payment. Once a payment is successfully authorized you are guaranteed to be able to capture the entire or partial amount. Authorizing a payment is useful when you do not know the exact amount to charge at the time of authorizing, this is often used when you use variable pricing for a product.
Payment can only be authorized for a maximum of 7 days, if you did not capture the payment within 7 days then the full amount will be refunded to the customer's card. If you require authorization for longer than 7 days then the only way is to refund the original one and create a new authorized payment manually. This can be done through the Dashboard.
Creating a authorized payment in you client side application is as simple as create a payment with captured set to false
