Capture

Capture is a request that submits a previously authorized transaction for settlement (i.e. payment by the shopper). Note that each credit card company will only hold the authorization for a limited period (for example, 3-10 days, depending on the credit card scheme).

👍

Auth Only required before Capture

Before you can send a transaction for capture, you must send it for authorization using the Auth Only request.

The capture will be performed based on the details that were in the Auth Only request (currency, credit card, etc.).

Partial Capture

  • To have partial captures enabled, contact your Implementation Specialist or Merchant Support.
  • Once a partial capture has been processed, the remaining authorization amount cannot be voided (reversed).
  • Apple Pay only supports single partial capture.
