# Authorize transaction only

 * Can you set the transaction to Authorize only, not Capture?
    This is so the transaction
   can be completed later. My client wants to be able to take a deposit on a service
   putting the amount on hold (authorize only), then complete the transaction later(
   capture awaiting settlement).

 * Hi dcassara,
 * We added the choice between “Authorize & Capture” / “Authorize only” in revision
   1.0.2 of the plugin
 * Hope this can help you 🙂
    Have a nice day!

 * GREAT! Do you know how you would change that transaction to capture after the
   service is rendered? Would you go into your Authorize.net portal and “release”
   it?
    Or can you do it through your plug-in? If so, would that person have to 
   be signed in to the web site?

 * Also, We are using wooCommerce with a deposit amount before service. The user
   can create an account to pay (“authorize”) the deposit, but after delivery of
   the service we don’t want to depend on them remembering their account information
   to log in and pay the remaining amount.
    Also, we will want to change the “authorized”
   deposit amount to “capture” if they do a late cancellation. But, if there is 
   no late cancellation fee (the deposit), we will cancel that “authorized” transaction
   and take a card reader on location and charge the full amount, because there 
   are tips involved, and then there would only be one transaction instead of two
   separate transactions. (We are assuming that we cannot change the “authorized”
   deposit amount to the full amount without them logging in – is that correct?)
   We know the “authorized” deposit amount will expire on it’s own, but how can 
   we cancel that so their funds are not tied up? Is there a better or easier way
   to accomplish only having one transaction on delivery (with tips) but having 
   the deposit held until the we know they will not cancel?

 * Hi again!
 * It seems your requests are quite peculiar, and these are beyond the simple plugin
   modes; YITH WooCommerce Authorize.net is a payment gateway and, as such, its 
   aim is to ensure WC order payments.
 * About the “Authorized only” transaction, the administrator has to log in manually
   with his Authorize account and complete (capture) the payments (i.e., when the
   deposit has to be collected).
 * For the further doubts, I suggest you to contact the Authorize.net support service,
   as they will be able to answer your questions for sure about the amount modification
   of the transaction (honestly I don’t think it is possible) and about the deleting
   of transactions.
 * I hope I have helped you with my two cents
    Have a nice day 🙂
