Is there anything we can do to improve this or are we at your mercy waiting for you to fix it?</P> Sat, 20 Sep 2025 07:59:25 GMT https://community.squareup.com/t5/Payments-Troubleshooting/Pre-auth-bug/m-p/705450#M4613 jackwiener 2025-09-20T07:59:25Z https://community.squareup.com/t5/Payments-Troubleshooting/Pre-auth-bug/m-p/705504#M4614 <P style="margin: 0;">Hello,&nbsp;<a href="https://community.squareup.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/394398">@jackwiener</a>.&nbsp;</P> <P style="margin: 0;">&nbsp;</P> <P style="margin: 0;">We understand the challenges you've faced with the pre-auth option, especially in a busy bar setting.
