Authorize & Capture

​

Authorize Only

• Payment will only be automatically authorized, not captured, after a successful checkout
• In the History section of order details, the Captured field displays 0, and Not Captured displays the order amount
• If Authorize Only is set, you must capture the order amount manually before the auth is expired in order to mark the payment as paid

​

Authorize and Capture

• Payment is captured automatically after a successful checkout.
• In the Historysection of order details, the Captured field displays the order amount, and Not Captured displays 0

​

Notes

• The default authorization expiration is 30 minutes for all merchants except Shopify, whose default is 7 days
  • You can extend this up to a maximum of 7 days
• Once the authorization expires, capturing is denied, and any uncaptured amount is released
  • If the order total is not captured before expiration, the order is deleted
• Payment is considered paid only when the amount is captured
  • If the order amount shows Not Captured and the Captured value in the History section of the Merchant Dashboard is 0, the order amount has not been captured
• If the amount remains uncaptured before the authorization expires, the order will be deleted
