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.import freshcom from 'freshcom-sdk'
// Assuming you have obtained a card token from stripe.
let token = '...'
// Assuming you have an existing cart.
let cart = {...}
freshcom.createAndSetAccessToken({
fresh_token: 'prt-test-aba1d92c-defb-478e-a031-40b5c27171c7',
grant_type: 'refresh_token'
}).then(function () {
return freshcom.createPayment({
source: token,
amountCents: cart.authorizationTotalCents,
capture: false,
target: cart
})
}).then(function(response) {
let order = response.data
// Update the UI accordingly...
// ...
})
