Post Order Operations

Overview

A charge is created after a consumer completes an order using ChargeAfter as a payment option. The charge will be in AUTHORIZED status initially. An entry with information about the charge will be added to the Timeline in the Order page of the store’s admin site. The entry title will say $XXX.XX was authorized on ChargeAfter, as shown below:
