Argyle pay-rail hold-short is not Braintree vault hold-short
Ask $ minus approved hold $, then ÷ ask $, makes AG hold-short % on one Argyle pay-rail window.
Pair: Partial-auth gap on Payments. Vault twin: Braintree hold-short. Lag twin: auth-to-capture.
What you type
Requested auth $ — Cart dollars Argyle sent as the pay-rail ask.
Partial auth $ — Dollars the issuer parked on that same pay-rail window.
AG hold-short % = (ask − approved) ÷ ask × 100. Wide AG hold-short % usually means issuer or cart rules on that rail — chase that path; never invent an AG hold-short chip.
What not to do
Skip inventing AG hold-short %. Skip pouring a Braintree vault or NMI partial-auth export into Argyle fields. Skip treating capture lag hours as a first-hold short. Skip blending rails when one pay-rail owns the short pile.

FAQ
- Is this Braintree partial-auth gap?
- Vault book vs pay-rail book. [Partial-auth gap](/manuals/braintree-partial-auth-gap) stays on Braintree. Ask / hold dollars never leave Argyle here.
- Is this Argyle auth-to-capture lag?
- Open float vs first-hold short. [Auth-to-capture lag](/manuals/argyle-auth-to-capture-lag) prices open auth $ across lag hours. Here you score ask minus approved hold.
- What AG hold-short % should I invent?
- None. Enter ask $ and approved hold $ from the same Argyle pay-rail export.
