To Implement Incremental Auth you can follow these steps:

* To Begin, you will need to create an AUTHORIZATION (AuthOnly) for a specific amount using the PayForm. (see [Incremental Authorizations](https://docs.number.tech/documentation/getting-started/integration-options/payform/incremental-authorizations))
* You will need to take note of the ORIGINAL returned TxID as this must be sent in all \
  subsequent Incremental Authorizations using this API method.  &#x20;
* You can Increment the Authorization multiple times.
* When you are finished incrementing the authorization you have placed on the Cardholder account, you can then set the Finalize Flag to 1 . This will place the total authorized amount in the queue for settlement.  NO funds will be transferred until you have finalized the Authorization.
* You can set the finalize flag with a zero amount if you simply want to finalize without an additional increment.&#x20;
* Always send the ORIGINAL TXID in any case so that the system can reference all the activity properly.
* The API call returns the Total authorized amount each time you increment or Finalize or Both.
