Pre-authorizations and Authorization Adjustments for Developers

Authorization adjustment is an important feature in payment processes for modern businesses across various industries. While a basic payment flow involves authorization and capture of a specific amount, there are cases where businesses may need to change the amount or extend the authorization period.

To help developers have a deep dive technical understanding of this process and use cases, we built a fully working integration-example (in .NET and Node) on Github and published a technical guide.
