Capture an authorised payment

Charge a payment previously authorised with the pre-authorise option

For CardCorp merchants, when creating single payment orders, you can select the pre-authorise option to authorise the payment and reserve an amount on the customer's card for a few days to later charge it or release it.

If the payment is authorised, the order status becomes Active.

For the authorised payment, you can:

  • Capture the payment to charge the card; or
  • Refund the payment to reverse the pre-authorisation and release the reserved funds from the customer's card.
