  • Usage: Suitable for immediate payments where funds are transferred instantly or shortly after the purchase, ensuring funds are available upfront.
  1. Authorise:
  • Description: This step verifies the customer’s payment method and reserves funds without transferring them immediately.
  • Usage: Common for scenarios involving delayed delivery, allowing the merchant to capture funds later when goods or services are ready to be delivered.
