Create a Preauth Transaction

How to create and complete a preauth transaction within Tap on Phone.

Overview

Preath transactions allow payment to be pre-authorised and collected using Tap on Phone.

If you wish to activate preAuth functionality in your terminals, please contact your Viva sales representative. Alternatively, you can contact us directly via our live chat facility(which can be found in your Production Viva self-care account).
