# Changes to Point of Sales (POS) payment processing behavior

We're changing how payments are processed on POS in order to bring order cancellations to POS. These changes will go into effect beginning October 31, 2023 for POS Pro and January 22, 2024 for Shopify Plus.

Payments may be authorized for up to 15 minutes before being captured automatically or voided by retail staff. As such, you may notice a few changes to the Admin and Storefront APIs.

On the Admin API, you may see:

* `AUTHORIZED` as the `OrderDisplayFinancialStatus` for up to 15 minutes before transitioning to `PAID`. The status will transition to `VOIDED` if the order gets canceled within these 15 minutes.
* Separate `OrderTransaction` objects with `AUTHORIZATION` and `CAPTURE` as the `OrderTransactionKind` when the payment is authorized and captured, instead of a single transaction with the `SALE` kind.
* Separate `OrderTransaction` objects with `AUTHORIZATION` and `VOID` as the `OrderTransactionKind` when the payment is authorized and voided.
* An empty array for `SuggestedRefund.suggestedTransactions` until payments in the order have been captured.

On the Storefront API, the `OrderFinancialStatus` will exhibit the same behavior as the `OrderDisplayFinancialStatus` on the Admin API.
