You can do an AUTH, then a CAPTURE. The main drawbacks are, 1) as one person said, the time frame. You get about a week or 2, depending on the gateway. And 2) if you don't know the amount. Most gateways, I don't believe you can alter the amount before you do the CAPTURE. You definitely can't raise it. The way I handle it in cf_ezcart is with "deferred payments". If we can't calculate shipping for whatever reason, or you have custom items that can't be priced, we write the order with an estimated amount, then notify the customer when the total is final and they then go pay with their credit card. -- Bud Schneehagen - Tropical Web Creations, Inc. _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ Web Based Solutions / eCommerce Development & Hosting http://www.twcreations.com/ - http://www.cf-ezcart.com/ Toll Free: 877.207.6397 - Local & Int'l Phone/Fax: 386.789.0968 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:229466 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
