Why does Amazon not take my money right away?

Most credit card companies process payments over the course of a few business days as opposed to right that moment. This is because card issuers need to clear the transaction with your bank or credit union, ensuring the funds posted for the credit card payment are actually available in your bank account.
But why do payments take so long? One of the main reasons ACH payments are notoriously slow is because of the number of parties who must be involved. First, a payment processor must collect their fee from the merchant. Then, payment data is sent to the originating bank.
How long does it take for a payment to fully process?
Credit card transactions typically take 48 hours to settle. An authorization is issued immediately; however, it takes 48 hours for the money to be moved.
You can check out with confidence anywhere that accepts Amazon Pay knowing your transaction is protected by state-of-the-art encryption — and your data is safe. Amazon doesn't share your full credit card, debit card, or bank account number with sites or charitable organizations that accept Amazon Pay.

If you order something, and you don't have sufficient funds for the full payment to be processed, the seller will not process the shipment. Much of this happens instantaneously, but some merchants have a short delay of one business day or less to verify the funds are available before shipping the order.
The bank confirms or rejects the transaction. Among other reasons, it can reject the transaction because the client does not have enough funds on his/her account.
If you don't have enough funds in your account, the transaction will be declined. When you choose to run your debit card as credit, you sign your name for the transaction instead of entering your PIN. The transaction goes through Visa's payment network and a hold is placed on the funds in your account.
