Element Transaction Type Settings
 
Authorize
An authorization places a hold on a cardholder's available balance to cover the payment. You will then need to manually capture the payment to complete the process of charging the cardholder and remitting payment to your business.
 
You might choose this option if, for example, you have items that you will not ship right away and only want to charge the customer's card when items are shipped. The length of time you have to capture a payment is entirely up to the card issuer, but the industry average is seven days for credit cards and three days for debit cards.
 
Authorize & Capture (sale)
The credit card payment, if approved, is authorized and automatically captured and will be deposited to your account once daily.
 
PASS
This option allows you to retain the customer's credit card information for longer periods of time. New payments can be charged to the card without manually entering the customer's credit card info. You might choose this option if you have recurrent billing, or always need to add shipping charges to an order that has already been placed.
 
Please Note: The PASS option is something you will need to set up with Element before implementing on your website.
