Benefits of Pre-Authorization

  • Last Updated: March 22, 2021

Pre-authorization helps you offer timely bar service, seamless transactions, reduce fraud risk, and improve customer satisfaction.  Exatouch’s Tab Auth feature enables you to pre-authorize a bar tab and manage it effectively.

  • Limit fraud from fake or stolen cards: Run pre-auths to check that a credit card is valid and has sufficient available credit before a tab is run up.
  • Avoid Insufficient Funds: Min and Max fields in Tab Auth Settings ensure that a customer is able to cover the cost of their order.
  • Faster Transactions: Tab Auth increases workflow speed and cuts down on close-out times.
  • Convenient: Hand the card right back to the customer after pre-auth; a physical credit card does not need to be retained to complete authorization at the end of the day.
  • Tip! Use Exatouch’s Tab Auth feature to pre-authorize a customer’s credit card and manage bar transactions. See: Manage Bar Tabs with Tab Auth
