We're thrilled to introduce a powerful new way to help you manage your subscriptions and secure your revenue with confidence. You can now pre-authorize a customer’s card to validate funds before their trial period ends.

This exciting update is specifically for your subscription-based products with a trial period enabled. It’s the perfect way to ensure a customer's payment method is valid and has sufficient funds, saving you from failed payments and potential churn when the trial is over.

How to Get Started

Setting up pre-authorization is a quick and easy two-step process within your PayKickstart account.

1. Navigate to Product Settings: Go to your Campaigns page, select a recurring product with a trial, and click the Pricing tab.

2. Enable Authorization: You'll see a new option to Collect Payment Method. Simply check the box, enter your desired pre-authorization amount ($1 to $100 is our recommendation), and hit Save.

This feature does not charge your customer immediately. It only places a temporary hold on the funds to verify the card's validity. The pre-authorization hold will be automatically released within approximately 7 days unless the payment is successfully captured.

This update is designed to give you more control and peace of mind over your billing process. We're committed to giving you the tools you need to build and scale your business with confidence.
