Pre-auth transactions

Do pre-auth transactions expire if not adjusted (adding tip)? If I were to leave a pre-auth transaction with a zero tip, will it finalize at closeout like an auth transaction would or would it expire and not transfer the money to the merchant?

No, pre-authentication transactions with no adjustments (including zero tip) will not automatically complete with a zero amount at the end. It will expire after a certain period of time if not adjusted, usually within 5 days depending on the card network and house of hazards merchant category. This means that the seller will not receive any money, including the base amount.

What if you didn't want to adjust the amount and only wanted to capture the base amount? How would you do that if using the Clover Android SDK?
