## **How Authorization works:**

-   This, by default, is **not** turned on and will require a couple of quick extra steps, covered below.
-   The system will remove the monetary value placed in the "authorized amount" from the client's bank account before crediting it later.
-   If the account does not have the funds during the authorization process, they will not be allowed to continue to the next step.
-   Upon authorization approval, the system will credit back the account for the amount used to authorize.
-   If you have any "Trial days" attached to the plan, those will kick in as soon as the card is authorized.
-   Funds may take up to 5 business days before being returned to the clients bank account.
-   It **ONLY** works with Subscriptions and Payment plans.  
    

**Note:** 

If you would like to authorize payment before purchase for all your plans, this process will need to be repeated for each plan attached to the payment form.
