joeyjgarcia Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 I am using Authorize.Net for my gateway and I automatically take the customers money when the order is taken because there is no other way to do it with the Authorize.Net module. Is this how it should be done? and if it is backordered or out of stock then just do a refund? Authorize.Net's tech support mentioned that if you send the x_type variable with a value of "authorize" it will not capture the money at this time. Has anyone done this? If I do this then how do I get the money after it is shipped? Thanks in advance. Joey Garcia Quote
Guest Posted May 23, 2004 Posted May 23, 2004 authorize.net allows you to "authorize" when the order is taken, then go back in and "capture" later. I have heard (but not 100% sure) that U.S. law requires that you ship an item within 24 hours of accepting payment. In other words, if it's gonna be a few days before you can ship it, I think that you legally have to wait a few days to capture the funds. -jared Quote
nbsp Posted May 27, 2004 Posted May 27, 2004 Yes, that is exactly how it was explained to me as well. My question is this... does any contribution allow you to perform a "capture" when you change the order status? I know it is possible programatically. Seems logical and very useful. If anyone knows of any contribution and/or can post the modifications, it would be greatly appreciated. Quote
rpb Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 (edited) Did anyone every figure this out ... I need to know how to do that as well. Since we let customers decide when the item should be delivered since it is perishable. Edited January 25, 2005 by rpb Quote
