Incremental Authorization

Use this information to process an incremental authorization on attended or unattended parking devices. You can process multiple incremental authorizations for a single parking session.

Process an incremental authorization when the final transaction amount of the parking session is more than the amount of the initial authorization. When the final transaction amount is less than the total authorized amount, an automatic, host-generated partial reversal request is sent.

PATCH /pts/v2/payments/{id}

The {id} is the transaction ID returned in the response to the original authorization request.
