Can the Fintrax terminal be used to process ‘Pre-authorisations’ for guest check-ins?
Yes, pre-authorisation is a very important check on a guest’s card. The terminal can be used to do a pre-authorisation for a nominal amount e.g. €1.00 to check if the card has been reported lost or stolen. Alternatively, a pre-authorisation can be done for the estimated check-out amount so that amount is ‘held’ for your business. The merchant can also recall the pre-authorisation and process the transaction to a sale.
