Authorize but not capture

What exactly do you mean by authorize a payment?

The process of authorizing a payment simply put means that a hold is put on the credit card for the amount but the actual amount is not yet taken from the credit card. This allows the amount to be adjusted at a later time before it comes out and is deposited into the merchant's account. This is typically the method that hotels and car rental places use to reserve rooms... They put a hold on the card in the expected amount so that the cardholder can't spend it, but the amount is not yet due to the merchant so it is not yet deposited into their account, until the transaction is finalized at a later time.

If using the Hosted Pay Page, the configuration of an Authorization happens on the Pay Page configuration end instead of the Drupal end.

Are you attempting to pre-auth using the hosted pay page or the API?

I'm attempting to pre-authorize rather than capture the funds at the time of online purchase. I'm not using the HPP.

I can't find a setting to change from capture to pre-auth. How would this be done?

I have been working on a new version of this module for one of our clients. It seems to be ready now, going through some final testing, and is available on GitHub. Just sent a message to Ionut to add me as a co-maintainer so I could push it to d.o. as well (as branch 7.x-2.x).

It supports authorisation transaction too.

Feel free to give it a test ride, all input is highly appreciated.

Thanks Maciej! I am going to poke around for a client. I'll let you know if I spot anything.

I have a quick questions about the PreAuth; is there an option/button to complete or capture the transaction from within Drupal/Commerce or do PreAuth's have to be finished through Moneris directly?

The client is currently getting test credentials for Moneris but I will update once I have run some test transactions. Thanks again for updating this module!

Joe, read the README.txt file! :)

Seriously though, yes, there is - for successful PreAuth transaction you have links in transaction's 'operations' column to Reverse/Capture(/ReAuth).

When in doubt, read the README! D'oh! Thanks for you help!
