Is it possible to send Pre-auth request of $0.00 amount in authorize.net?

Hello,

I want to send pre-auth request every time with amount $0.00 to authorize.net and if that pre-auth request "Authorized" or success then send second request with main item amount.

so is it possible in your extension?

If you have any query with the same, please let me know.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks

Setting the validation mode to Live Mode (module default is None) will do this, though the charge will be $0 or $0.01 depending on the processor. https://developer.authorize.net/api/reference/index.html#customer-profiles-create-customer-profile (see validationMode)

Hello pmclain,

So is it possible Pre-auth request on Magento 2?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

The pre-auth depends on the validation mode configuration in the admin panel, but the order placement process will still create and authorization or capture (again, depending on the config) for the full order amount.
