Preauthorization Extensions

A pre-authorization extension is a follow-up to a pre-authorization that keeps the hold in place for another 14 days. This gives you a maximum hold of 28 days in total. You are allowed to send only one extension for each pre-authorization. For Mastercard and Visa cards, you can also change the held amount when you request the extension. For mada cards, you can only extend the hold time, not adjust the amount.
