Display deletion of authorisation?

Enable if deletions of authorisations you made via DirectLink should be displayed in the WooCommerce order administration page. The deleted amounts will be subtracted from the initially authrorised amount and displayed in “WooCommerce -> Orders -> [Order]”. Please note that not all acquirers support deletions of authorisations. PostFinance will nevertheless respond with a successful deletion in all cases, even if deletions are not supported. In this case the deletion will only be simulated. This can lead to a falsified PostFinance payment status in WooCommerce. Please ask your acquirer if deletions are supported before activating this option.
