Hello,
I am using square in a production environment to test small payments of 4 and 5 cents both where holding funds is enabled and disabled.
I am using my own credit card to run the tests. In all cases, my credit is in good standing and I have sufficient available balance.
When I do a test payment of 5 cents without doing a hold, that charge appears on my credit card almost right away.
However if I do a hold which converts to a charge in 7 days, I noticed that my bank never took note of the hold amount.
Here’s what I made different in my call to the payments API to create a credit card hold instead of an instant payment:
I set:
delay_action to COMPLETE
delay_duration to P7D
accept_partial_authorization to false
autocomplete to false
also, today, four hours ago I converted a hold to a charge by calling the complete payments function, then I buy something at a store all with the same credit card. I noticed the items from the store instantly appear in my account but I don’t notice any charge from my business.
Is 4 cents too small of a hold amount? or is there some undocumented parameter I need to call in the api?
When I do the holds, I ensure the status is “approved” before continuing. and in my tests the statuses returned are correct.
