Pre-Authorization & Deposits for your industry

Pre-Authorization & Deposits questions

A pre-authorization asks the card issuer to hold an amount before a final charge is completed. It can support deposits, reservations and other payments where the final amount is determined later.
Roots helps plan the deposit, final charge, receipt and refund workflow so your staff can see what was collected and what remains due.
Bring your deposit policy, final-charge timing and cancellation process. Roots uses these details to plan your workflow and prepare a clear setup scope.
