Increment an authorization

POST {{baseUrl}}/v1/payment_intents/:intent/increment_authorization

Perform an incremental authorization on an eligible PaymentIntent. To be eligible, the PaymentIntent’s status must be requires_capture and incremental_authorization_supported must be true.

Incremental authorizations attempt to increase the authorized amount on your customer’s card to the new, higher amount provided. As with the initial authorization, incremental authorizations may be declined. A single PaymentIntent can call this endpoint multiple times to further increase the authorized amount.

If the incremental authorization succeeds, the PaymentIntent object is returned with the updated amount. If the incremental authorization fails, a card_declined error is returned, and no fields on the PaymentIntent or Charge are updated. The PaymentIntent object remains capturable for the previously authorized amount.

Each PaymentIntent can have a maximum of 10 incremental authorization attempts, including declines. Once captured, a PaymentIntent can no longer be incremented.
