About Credit Card Authorization Hold for Your Purchase
When you made a purchase on our website, a temporary authorization hold for the exact amount is placed on your credit card using the payment method you have on file. Like many other merchants, Valor uses authorization holds to confirm that your payment account is active and has the funds available for the purchase. Then, submit the amount to your bank or credit card company to settle the charges using the amount that was held by the authorization hold. This whole process usually takes about 3-5 business days.
For example, if you are making a purchase of $500. Our system will pre-authorize $500 for an authorization hold. When the shipment is sent or invoiced, our bank will settle the charge of $500 to your bank or credit card account using the authorization hold. Even if the invoice amount is a little more or less, it will settle the authorization and charge the exact amount to your bank or credit card account.
Note: The amount can be different if:
A. One or more of the item(s) you purchased are not available.
B. One of more of the item(s) you purchased has a price change.
C. The overall weight of your shipment is slightly more or less than the weight we have originally calculated.
If you are using a debit card, you might see authorization holds as charges on your online statement. These charges are automatically updated and settled by your bank when the charges come through the process.
However, there are two scenarios that we are aware of, which may cause two or multiple charges appeared on your bank or credit card account.
1. If you are using a debit card from some certain banks, the actual charges are being processed separately from the authorization hold.
For example, if you are making a purchase of $500. If the bank considers and processes the charge as a separate charge (even we have submitted the charges as a settlement with the same authorization code), you will see two charges on the same amount on your online statement. Usually, the authorization charge will be automatically dropped in 3-5 business days. And, you will result in only one charge in the correct amount onto your bank/credit card account, but for those few days, your funds will be held and will not be available to use until released.
2. In rare cases, when the settlement amount is different than the original amount that we have pre-authorized, your bank will not only process this as a separate payment; but it will internally issue a new authorization hold, and wait for the charges to come through by settlement as another charge.
For example, if you are making a purchase of $500. Our system will pre-authorize $500 for an authorization hold. When the shipment is sent or invoiced, our bank will settle for a different amount, say, $495 to your bank or credit card account using the authorization hold. Your bank will issue a new authorization hold for $495.00 and when the charges are finally settled by your bank, it will then charge another $495 onto your account. In this case, you have been charged three times. Understandably, the two authorization charges will be automatically dropped in 3-5 business days, and you will, however, be charged three times in the interim, and your funds will be held and will not be available to use until released.
Here, at Valor, we do not have access to change or update any of the authorization hold issued by your bank or credit card company, nor we can call your bank or the credit card company on your behalf. The only way to possibly resolve this is for you to contact them directly and request a review on all your recent charges in details with an on-duty customer service manager with the bank or the credit card company.
Why is my transaction declined?
Your transaction is declined because of a few reasons:
1. There is not enough credit for the transaction to go through.
2. The credit card number or expiration date is invalid.
3. The billing address, postal code (ZIP code), and/or the CVV code does not match with what the bank has.
Especially for reason #3, if the billing address or the postal code is not correct, the charge will NOT go through. It may look like the charge go through you account, but it would be immediately reversed and no charges should have been authorized.
Also, you may want to check with the bank to verify if the billing address and your postal code is correctly matched with the information associate with the card itself– not the account. We have customers come back and told us the bank kept an old billing address on the card while the updated billing address is on the account. Also, ask the bank to spell out the exact address on the card to you. We have customers come back and told us the bank has a different format of the address on the card than the address on the account. (For example, using the apartment number on line 1, instead of line 2, or use the name of the street instead of the commonly used highway number on the address)
