Settle Authorized Payment

When you settle a payment with an Authorized status, the payment gateway will include the payment in the overnight settlement and transfer the funds.

You will need to select a Settlement Reason to complete this action. Before starting this procedure, ensure that a desired Settlement Reason has been created. Reasons are created and managed in the Setup application. Refer to Reasons Module for more information.
