# Preauthorization Card

 A PA is created by sending a POST request over HTTPS to the `/v1/payments` resource. The request should include all required information such as your authentication credentials, the type of transaction, the amount and the payment information such as card details. A capture may be sent against a successful PA to request that the funds are sent for clearing.
