Enhance payment flexibility with our 7 or 30-day preauthorization

Why card transactions demand preauthorization:

In the authorization process, Mangopay actively communicates with the cardholder’s bank (issuer) to validate a transaction. This crucial step confirms the account's existence, ensures it's not blocked, and verifies the availability of sufficient funds.

Benefits of requesting credit card preauthorization:

1. Elevating customer experience:

• Informing end-customers that their card won’t be charged until items are shipped or services are used fosters trust and enhances overall customer experience.

2. Reduce refund charges:

• As transactions are on hold during preauthorization, it can eliminate the need for refunds and the costs associated with them.

7 or 30-day preauthorization: Choose your term, choose your flexibility:

1. Flexibility at its best: Complement feature

• Platforms can actively modify the preauthorized amount before the final capture, offering flexibility for scenarios where the initial amount may need adjustment.
• Example: A car rental platform places a hold on the rental amount. If the end-customer damages the car during the trip, the platform can modify the preauthorized amount to cover the rental and damage costs.

2. No Show? No Problem: No show feature

• Platforms can confidently capture funds if the preauthorization goes unused, ideal for scenarios like no-show, or late cancellation charges.
• Example: A rental property platform places a hold on the rental amount. If the end-customer fails to show up, the platform can still capture funds for a no-show charge.
