“Authorize and hold for review” is one of the four filter actions for handling transactions that trigger one or more Advanced Fraud Detection Suite (AFDS) filters. Transactions that trigger an AFDS filter with this filter action are placed in the Authorized/Pending Review state after being successfully authorized by the processor.
Once the transactions are in Authorized/Pending Review, you have 30 days to manually review and either approve or void them. We recommend you process these transactions within 72 hours. Any transactions you approve are sent for settlement. If no action is taken in the 30-day period, the transactions will expire. This action is useful if you want to review authorized transactions prior to submitting for settlement.
