POST/payments/{paymentPspReference}/captures

Capture an authorised payment

Captures an authorised payment and returns a unique reference for this request. You get the outcome of the request asynchronously, in a CAPTURE webhook.

You can capture either the full authorised amount or a part of the authorised amount. By default, any unclaimed amount after a partial capture gets cancelled. This does not apply if you enabled multiple partial captures on your account and the payment method supports multiple partial captures.

Automatic capture is the default setting for most payment methods. In these cases, you don't need to make capture requests. However, making capture requests for payments that are captured automatically does not result in double charges.

For more information, refer to Capture.

  • RetriesRetries up to 2×, 500ms backoff, 30s timeout.
  • IdempotentThe SDK sends Idempotency-Key, so a retried request is only applied once.
