That might work, but the client want the person to be able to pay them the remainder by any means once they arrive
So technically the process would be to reserve the spot, charge minimal amount and reserve the spot. They then could pay the remainder in cash, check, that credit card, different credit card at time of arrival. If they no show, my client would be able to go into authorize.net<http://authorize.net>and charge the remainder to their card. IS that possible through something like authorize.net <http://authorize.net>?? Jeff On 10/18/05, Robert Redpath <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > What about 2 delayed capture transactions?
