Overview

The new manual capture feature in Lighthouse Business Manager (LBM) empowers your business with greater flexibility, accuracy, and control over authorized payments. This functionality allows you to capture pre-authorized transactions directly from the LBM portal, on your terms.

Benefits

• Flexibility: Choose to capture the full pre-authorized amount or a custom amount.
• Control: Apply post-checkout adjustments, add charges, or finalize reservation deposits.
• Accuracy: Ensure you only capture the amount you need, no more, no less.

This is ideal for use cases like:

• Reservation holds and deposits
• Post-checkout adjustments
• Adding incidental or additional charges
• Any scenario requiring an authorization rather than a direct sale

How It Works

Eligible transactions in LBM Transaction Manager will display a Capture button.

• Eligible transactions are those with an active, uncaptured pre-authorization.
• Selecting this option allows you to capture the pre-authorized amount or specify a different amount, based on your business needs.
