| Authorize and Capture Charges |
The main function of Road Merchant is to submit transactions of type "AUTH_CAPTURE", which is authorize, verify and capture funds. With this, a merchant can instantly know if funds are available on a customers charge card and request those funds be marked for transfer to the merchant. Once funds are requested to be captured, the funds put on hold are marked to be transferred out at the next settlement cycle at the Authorize.net or NMI gateway. This can be within a few minutes, or can take a number of hours. While funds are waiting to be settled, the merchant can void the transaction to stop the funds from being transferred out of the card holder account. After the funds are settled, the funds are removed from the card holders account. At this point, the transaction can no longer be Voided. To return funds to the card holders account, a credit must be initiated.
