Pre-Authorisation; Completion - Ingenico iCT200 Series User Manual

19. Pre-Authorisation

Please note: this option is only available for certain types of business. Please contact Customer
Services for further information.
Where there is the likelihood of a large value transaction, such as a hotel or car hire bill, a
pre-authorisation transaction for the expected value can be made. If, following a pre-authorisation
transaction, the value of the transaction increases (e.g. as a result of an extended stay at an
hotel) a further pre-authorisation may be required.
1. At the READY prompt, press the MENU button.
Using the key highlight PRE-AUTH and then press
the GREEN button.
2. Key in the amount of the transaction and press the GREEN button, or insert/swipe the
customer's card and then key in the transaction amount.
If performing a swiped transaction, your terminal may prompt you to enter the last four digits of the
card number. If so, key in the last four digits of the customer's card number and press the GREEN
button.
3. Key in the amount of the transaction and press the
GREEN button.
The transaction will now continue as a normal sale
transaction. Please refer to Section 7 for information on
how to complete a Sale Transaction.
4. When supported on the acquirer host, the use of
a 'transaction identifer' can be used during Pre-Auth
transactions. An additional prompt for Transaction ID will
appear as shown. PLEASE NOTE: The initial 'Pre-Auth
Txn' will NOT have a 'Txn ID' to be keyed in as this is
returned from the acquirer. It is only then that a 'Txn ID'
will be used until completion.
The transaction will now continue as a normal sale transaction. Please refer to Section 7 for
instructions on how to complete a Sale Transaction.

20. Completion

PLEASE NOTE: If the final bill is more than the total pre-authorised amount, a further
pre-authorisation may be required for the difference which must be obtained prior to carrying out
the completion transaction. This will be completed automatically by the terminal.
The following procedure will complete a pre-authorised transaction when the final amount is
confirmed with the customer.
1. At the READY prompt, press the MENU button.
Using the key highlight COMPLETION and then
