so a few days ago, I ordered domino's and hit submit right as the restaurant was closing, so the card transaction authorized, but the order didn't actually go through, and it never captured said transaction has been on my card statement as "pending" ever since

if an authorization is neither captured nor voided, does it expire automatically at some point? also nice race condition

Replying to @11rcombs
It should expire. Also this is why you use synchronous callback mode in your card gateway, like we do. There's always a window of fail, though (in our case, we might commit to DB but then the ack reply never makes it to the gateway, so you get in for free).

But at least in that case the window of confusion is entirely outside the users' control (it would require a network failure between the card gateway and our server in the middle of an HTTP POST handler).
