Whit is an auidority hault?
An auidority hault is a temporary deduction fae yer available credit or account balance. It occurs whan a merchant requests approval fae yer bank for a specific amount, oft afore the actual transaction taks place.

Why is auidority hault required?
Auidority hault ensures that a buyer has sufficient funds or credit tae cover the anticipated purchase.

How does an auidority hault work?

1. Whan ye mak a purchase, an auidority request is sent tae yer bank for a specific amount.
2. The bank sets aside this amount, makkin it temporarily unavailable for ither transactions.
3. The actual transaction amount will only be charged whan the merchant finalizes the purchase and accepted the payment.

Common misconception
Ae common misconception is that customers may be double-charged – ance wi the auidority hault and again wi the actual transaction. However, the hault is temporary, and the actual charge replaces it.

Whit happens whan an order placed wi credit or debit card is cancelled?
Whan an order is cancelled afore the final transaction occurs, buyers shoud rest assured that the authorised amount will be fully restored by the bank. This restoration process essentially erases the auidority hault, makin it as gin the transaction niver took place.

Why does it tak days for the bank tae restore the bank account balance efter cancellin order?
The delay in restoring the bank account balance is oft due tae the processing times o the banks as banks typically hae tae adhere tae their internal processes for handlin transactions and may tak a few days tae update the balances.
