Validate Only Option in WooCommerce

SurfYourName — Thu, 19 Jan 2017 17:52:43 GMT

I run a WooCommerce store. I sell products that I do not want to charge the customer for until they ship. I also do not want to use the Authorize function because I do NOT want a hold placed on their card.

I want to use the Validate feature where their card is charged 0.01 and then refunded. Once the prodcut ships I can change the customer in my Authorize.net dashboard with my CIM.

The issue I am having is I can not find a plugin for WooCommerce that has the "Validate" function. They all have Authorize and Authorize & Capture.

Does anyone know of a plugin that can accomadate this? Is there another way that I can go about getting the customers credit card information passed over to my Authorize.net CIM?

Thanks!

Hello @SurfYourName

Have you checked out WooCommerce's Pre-Order module? It allows you to take pre-orders and charge up front or on delivery.

The pre-order plugin does not validate the card and charge the 0.01 and do the refund. I need the validate function.

When a customer profile is created, our API allows developers to specify if the card information should be validated using a zero auth with the processor. I would suggest speaking with the folks at WooCommerce about how you can set validationMode to LiveMode when creating customer profiles.
