Advanced settings
The advanced settings allow the more advanced options to be tuned.
- Select a Transaction type:
- Pre-auth - Preauthorization acts as a reservation on your cardholder’s account. Once you are able to ship the products and decide to withdraw the amount, you can then capture the payment (either via your Verifone Central account or by using Shopify → Orders → Capture). Preauthorization allows you more time to capture the payment (it is usually 30 days, but this needs to be checked with acquirer, as it might vary depending on card schemes/ merchant category code). Also make sure Verifone supports this transaction type for the acquiring solution you are using.
- Auth - Authorization also acts as a reservation on your cardholder’s account – that you can capture later on, once you ship the products to your customers. The difference between authorization and preauthorization is that you only have up to 7 days allowed by the time you decide to capture the amount. Here as well, check that Verifone supports this transaction type for the acquiring solution you are using.
- Sale - The sale transaction implies authorization and capture are done in one single step.
-
Once all needed options are selected, click on Update settings, and then select Back to Shopify.

Test mode box: If you have enabled test mode in the previous Verifone account settings step, make sure to also enable it on this page so that both your Verifone settings as well as Shopify Store are running in test mode.Note: The selected card brands will be displayed to your customers as available in Verifone Checkout but selecting a specific card brand will not make that brand available in the checkout.
