Authorize.net prior-auth capture miss is not Braintree settle-capture miss
Divide prior-auth capture misses by capture attempts on one Authorize.net batch export. That ratio is prior-auth-miss %.
Pair: Capture-fail share on Payments. Braintree twin: settle-capture miss. Partial twin: partial capture gap.
What you type
Capture fails — Authorize.net prior-auth capture attempts that failed in the batch export.
Capture attempts — Capture attempts in that same Authorize.net batch export.
Prior-auth-miss % = capture fails ÷ capture attempts × 100. Fat prior-auth-miss % usually means expired auth or processor decline on capture — chase that path; never invent a prior-auth-miss chip.
What not to do
Skip inventing prior-auth-miss %. Skip dumping a Braintree or Spreedly capture file into Authorize.net fields. Skip folding partial-capture dollar gaps into fail counts. Skip blending MIDs when one seat owns the miss pile.

FAQ
- Is this Braintree capture-fail share?
- Different stack book. [Capture-fail share](/manuals/braintree-capture-fail-share) reads Braintree settle-capture misses. Here you only divide Authorize.net prior-auth capture misses by capture attempts.
- Is this Authorize.net partial capture gap?
- Sibling Authorize.net dollar cut. [Partial capture gap](/manuals/authorize-net-partial-capture-gap) is captured $ vs authorized $. This page is prior-auth capture misses ÷ capture attempts.
- What prior-auth-miss % should I invent?
- None. Pull capture fails and capture attempts from the same Authorize.net batch export.
