Article summary

Overview

Users can now send an authorization link (AuthLink) to customers to authorize the amount of a Transaction that was charged to the customer's Payment Method. This feature functions similarly to how PayLink functions, but with authorizations instead of charges.

Blackthorn supports AuthLink for Stripe, Authorize.net, and our supported Spreedly payment gateways.

Permission Set Requirement

Access to the AuthLink field requires the Blackthorn | Payments (User) permission set.

Functionality

The AuthLink field will be created and stored in the Transaction record after the Transaction is created.

  • Field Label: AuthLink
  • API Name: bt_paylink__AuthLink__c
  • Type: URL
  • Description: Unique AuthLink URL. *Paid add-on. Requires subscription.

The AuthLink is generated at the same time as the PayLink.

If an existing AuthLink is deleted and the record is saved, a new AuthLink will be generated.

When a user authorizes a payment via AuthLink, the Transaction’s Payment Status = “Authorized”.
