Capture and authorize payments

A payment is authorized when you hold funds on the customer’s card to be later charged. When this payment is effectively charged it’s said to be captured.

In our case, payments can be held for a maximum of 5 days before a capture, if not the payment will be cancelled.

This section is where payments are charged to customers.
