Pre-Authorize Credit Card on a Quote in RFMS Mobile

Use RFMS Mobile to authorize an amount on a customer's credit card from a quote.

If you want the customer to enter their card information remotely, see Request a Credit Card Pre-Authorization with My Flooring Link.

For general information about credit card authorizations, see Credit Card Pre-Authorizations in RFMS.

Before You Begin

Credit card setup must be complete, and must have permission to process credit card transactions.

Your RFMS Mobile user role must also include the Preauthorize Payment permission under RFMS Online Services > User Settings > Order Entry.

Preauthorize the Card

  1. Open the customer quote in RFMS Mobile.
  2. Select Sign and Authorize sign and auth.png.
  3. Collect the customer's name and signature, then select Accept.

If your business uses Cyncly Payments and has surcharge enabled, an eligible credit card may include a surcharge. Cyncly Payments calculates the surcharge from the amount being authorized and displays it as part of the total authorization. You do not need to calculate or add the surcharge.

The authorization is valid for seven calendar days. See Cyncly Payments Surcharge: Eligibility and Requirements for surcharge rules.

Collect the Payment

Export the quote to an order within seven calendar days. RFMS captures the preauthorized amount as a credit card payment when the quote is exported.

Void an Authorization

You can void the authorization from the quote before it is collected.
