Question
I have a question about how POS or point of sale applications work. I would do a pre authorization of a customers card and give it to them to add a tip to it. Then I process it again as a credit card transaction so that it now includes the tip. Then I do the force at the end of the day to drop the preauthorization? Is that the normal way it works.
Answer
The pre-auth converts to a sale when you finalize the transaction
