Being able to change amount

[jeana]

Hello! Working on a customer form, and the company needs to review the form before charging the customer card. If the amount put in by the customer is wrong, the company needs to be able to change the amount charged to the credit card.

Most of the time, the company will need to be able to charge more than the customer entered in the form. Is this possible through Authorize.net?

I know you can change the payment to less than the amount entered, just need to figure out how we can change it to possibly charge more than the amount entered.

Hello @jeana

Yes, it is possible if you use customer profiles.   For example:

• use createTransactionRequest using AuthOnly and specify createProfile=true.  
• If the amount will be lower than the original authorization, use priorAuthCapture
• If higher, void the original transaction, use the customer profile to obtain a new authorization/capture
