WHAT HAPPENS NOW THAT THE ORDER TOTAL IS DIFFERENT?

If the order is for the same or lesser amount than the original total, no further action is needed. If the customer is paying by credit card, they would automatically be charged the lesser amount once the order is marked ‘complete’.

If the new order total is more than the original total and the customer is paying by credit card, a new authorization is required (see ‘Re-Authorizing A Credit Card’ for instructions) The order can be marked as 'Payment Received' only after the new authorization is obtained.

NOTES:

  • Though we provide you with the means to re-authorize the customer's credit card for a higher amount, it is assumed that you are only doing so with the customer's knowledge/permission.
  • For orders with a Paypal payment method, the higher amount should be taken care of through the Paypal interface.
