I remember there was some talk a long time ago about being able to set the
'process immediately' flag on a per-transaction basis via the API. I
apologize for being too slothful/weak-minded to figure this out for myself,
but does anyone know if this is now or will be possible anytime soon?
The above situation is an excelent example of where this would be useful.
Some realtime processors (such as authorize.net) also have fraud screening
software which will give you an idea of how likely fraud is given the
card-holders past transaction history. You can configure the authorize.net
software to decline transactions based on this fraud score, but it might be
better to approve the card transaction and queue the registration
transaction until someone with real eyes can look at it.
If this feature already exists, please excuse my useless ramblings. *grin*
