Who and what is Zero Value Autocharge for?

Zero Value Autocharge allows Prommt Merchants to authenticate and tokenise a customer's card without charging them in the first transaction.

The merchant secures and authenticates card details, without having to put the customer out in the process. This leads to better customer experience.

How to create a Zero Value Autocharge

⚠️ Before you begin, please check with your Gateway that the correct settings are enabled. Examples of settings include:

  1. Global Payments and Elavon: enable OTB per MID

  2. Opayo: enable authenticate and authorise per MID

This feature works just like a standard Autocharge, whereby an Autocharge plan is created from the initial transaction.

1. Create Autocharge activation for €0.00 / £0.00

2. Customer authenticates the zero value autocharge

3. Autocharge plan is created and future charges can be made for that customer
