Admin Credit Card Re-Authorization
The True Edit Order Extension lets you quickly edit any information in Magento® orders, without creating a duplicate order (the Magento® default).
When paired with the Authorize.net CIM Payment Gateway Extension, you can edit or cancel existing orders and then re-authorize the credit card for refunds.
In order to re-authorize the credit card for additional payments when an order is changed, the admin will need to reselect the payment method from the stored payment options.
