Auction deposits

Some auctions may require participants to provide a deposit. By default, WebSphere Commerce records in a database table those occasions when a bidder authorizes a deposit. The way this information is used can be customized to meet your specifications.

When an auction closes, deposits for all losers are negated, or "refunded," by calling the DoDepositPayment command. Winners' deposits are also refunded by calling the DoDepositPaymentCmd command.

You can change the default method of deposits processing by overriding the DoDepositPaymentCmd command.
