I HAD $1 CHARGED TO MY ACCOUNT & IT STAYED FOR A FEW DAYS. WHAT IS THIS?

What is It?

In an effort to prevent credit card fraud our website payment gateway, Shopify, may place a pending authorisation on unknown credit cards to authenticate the account.

This amount varies depending on what type of card you have and which bank you are with. It is not a charge, only a pending authorisation.

Card Verification – How it Works

Card verification is a strong first-line defence against potentially fraudulent cards. It ensures that the credit card number provided is associated with a valid, open account and can be stored in the Vault and charged successfully. To do this, it must first verify the card.

Shopify verifies your credit card by running either a $0 or $1 authorization and then automatically voiding it. Where a $1 authorization returns a successful result, we immediately follow up with an automatic void request to ensure that the transaction will disappear from the cardholder’s statement as soon as possible.

It’s important to note that some banks do not recognize void requests immediately. It’s possible that after the void is issued, you will still see the pending charge. But that charge is just that, pending, no money is actually withdrawn from the account and even if the void is not recognized, the transaction will expire and disappear after a few days.
