All credit card payment providers have an authorization period to allow a charge to be made to a customer’s credit card. In doing this there may appear to be a pending payment on your credit card statement.

The authorization process first checks that the credit card is valid, and then that the card has enough funds on it for the transaction. This would be the pending charge before the actual charge is made.

The length of the authorization period depends on a customer’s credit card payment provider but it can be 3-5 days.

If this pending payment should appear, it should disappear with no charge within the 3-5 day authorization period, if not, you will need to contact your credit card provider.
