• receiving, from a user device, a request to pre-authorize a transaction for one or more resources;
• transmitting, to an authorizing entity computer, a pre-authorization request message for the transaction, the pre-authorization request message indicating a value for the transaction, and the authorizing entity computer thereafter pre-authorizing the transaction and holding the value;
• receiving a pre-authorization response message from the authorizing entity computer indicating that the transaction is pre-authorized;
• transmitting an instruction to deliver the one or more resources;
• receiving a message indicating that the one or more resources were delivered;
• and
• transmitting, to the authorizing entity computer or a processing network computer, a subsequent message to process the transaction for the value or for less than the value.

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a user device, from a user, a selection of one or more resources to be delivered to the user for a transaction;
• receiving, by the user device, from the user, an indication to pre-authorize the transaction;
• sending, by the user device, a request to pre-authorize the transaction for the one or more resources to a resource provider computer, the resource provider computer thereafter initiating a pre-authorization request message with a value for the transaction to an authorizing entity computer, which pre-authorizes the transaction and holds the value, and transmits a pre-authorization response message back to the resource provider computer;
• receiving, by the user device, an acceptance request message prompting the user device to indicate that the one or more resources were delivered and are accepted;
• displaying, by the user device, to the user, a prompt to indicate whether the delivered one or more resources are accepted;
• receiving, by a user device, from the user, an indication that at least one of the delivered one or more resources are accepted;
• and
• sending, by the user device, an acceptance response message indicating that at least one of the delivered one or more resources are accepted, the resource provider computer thereafter transmitting a subsequent message to the authorizing entity computer or a processing network computer to process the transaction for the value or for less than the value.
