Hi @Jababoll.  Authorization codes (from the card issuing bank) are automatic with card transactions and are printed on the receipts.  I looked around to see if there was a way to see these other than printing a receipt and I do not see it.  Auth Codes don’t even seem to be stored in the Transactions list/csv.

 

As for pre-authorization codes virtual terminal does not, to my knowledge, have pre-authorization capabilities yet.  Those were just recently introduced for Square POS and Restaurants POS, so it’s possible they will roll out to virtual terminal eventually.  But I’ve heard no rumors of this being the case, yet.
