Pre-authorisation validates available balance.
The customer's card is on file, but that doesn't mean they can actually pay. You've been stung before by cards that look valid but have no available balance when you try to charge them.
Petboost's pre-hold funds feature doesn't just validate the card-it places a temporary hold on the appointment amount, confirming that funds are actually available.
Pre-authorisation holds the exact appointment amount
Validates both card validity AND available balance
Hold placed 72 hours before appointment
Released or converted to charge automatically
No charge for holds that do not convert
