Authorizing Card Payments Using the Old Funnel Builder in Stack
Overview
In this guide, we'll walk through the process of authorizing card payments using version 1 of Stack's page builder. This feature is useful for verifying payment methods before completing purchases.
How Payment Authorization Works
Payment authorization in Stack is an optional feature that requires a few extra steps to set up. Here’s a quick overview of how it functions:
- The system temporarily deducts a specified amount from the client's bank account. This amount is later credited back.
- If the account lacks sufficient funds during authorization, the client cannot proceed.
- Once authorization is approved, the amount is refunded, which may take up to 5 business days.
- This feature is applicable only for Subscriptions and Payment Plans.
- If you wish to authorize payments for multiple plans, repeat the process for each plan linked to the payment form.
