By default, payments are [captured](/get-started-with-adyen/adyen-glossary/#capture-or-clearing-and-settlement) automatically without a delay, immediately after [authorization](/get-started-with-adyen/adyen-glossary/#authorization) of the payment request. For some payment methods, you can capture a payment separately from authorization. We refer to this as manual capture. The authorization reserves the funds on the shopper's bank account. Then, when you send a request to capture the payment, the reserved funds are transferred from the shopper's bank account to your account. An example of when to use manual capture: After a payment is authorized, you ship the goods to the shopper. If the goods are successfully delivered to the shopper, you capture the payment. If the goods are not delivered to the shopper, you [cancel](/online-payments/cancel) the payment instead. ## Requirements Before you begin, take into account the following requirements, limitations, and preparations. | Requirement | Description | | ----------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Integration type** | An [online payments integration](/online-payments/build-your-integration/). | | **[Customer Area roles](/account/user-roles)** | To edit capture settings, make sure that you have the following roles:- **Merchant admin** - **View Payments** - **Merchant manage payments** | | **[Webhooks](/development-resources/webhooks)** | Listen for webhook messages with the following `eventCode` values:- [**CAPTURE**](/development-resources/webhooks/webhook-types/#transaction-events) - [**CAPTURE\_FAILED**](/development-resources/webhooks/webhook-types/#transaction-events) | | **Limitations** | Separate capture is only [available for some payment methods](/payment-methods/?features%5B0%5D=separate%2Bcaptures). | | **Setup steps** | If you intend to use [multiple partial captures](#multiple-partial-captures), ask our [Support Team](https://ca-test.adyen.com/ca/ca/contactUs/support.shtml?form=other) to enable that feature. | ## Types of capture For payments that support separate capture, you can set up one of the following, so that payments do not automatically get captured immediately after authorization: | Type of capture | Description | | ------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Automatic capture | Capture happens automatically without a delay. This is the default. | | [Delayed automatic capture](#delayed-automatic-capture) | Set an amount of time between authorization and capture. The capture happens automatically after the time delay that you set. The delay gives you time to [cancel the authorization](/online-payments/cancel/), for example when it turns out that an item is out of stock. | | [Manual capture](#manual-capture) | Set a separate capture that does not happen automatically. After a payment is authorized, you must manually capture the payment. Manual capture lets you settle funds on fulfillment, when an order is shipped. It is also part of flows like [authorization adjustment](/online-payments/adjust-authorisation/) and [partial authorization](/online-payments/partial-authorizations). Some payment methods also allow [partial manual capture](#partial-capture). | ### Partial manual capture | Type of partial capture | Description | | ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Single partial capture | Any unclaimed amount that is left over after partially capturing a payment is automatically cancelled. With some schemes, you can flag each payment request as either a pre-authorization or a final authorization. For partial captures, we recommend that you flag the payment request as a pre-authorization. For more information, refer to [Card authorization types](/online-payments/adjust-authorisation#authorisation-types). | | Multiple partial captures | The unclaimed amount after an initial partial capture is not automatically cancelled. This is useful in some businesses models such as an ecommerce site where capture takes place upon shipment, or in omnichannel scenarios where the shopper orders items in a physical store. If you have an order with multiple items to ship separately, each shipment correlates to a partial capture. Multiple partial capture is disabled by default, so you need to contact our [Support Team](https://ca-test.adyen.com/ca/ca/contactUs/support.shtml?form=other) to enable this feature. | ## Delayed automatic capture When you set up delayed automatic capture, you specify the amount of time between authorization and capture. You can enable it in your Customer Area for every payment, or in the API request for an individual payment. The setting in the API request for an individual payment overrides the setting in the Customer Area. ### Tab: Every payment - Customer Area To set up a capture delay that applies to each payment that supports it: 1. Log in to your [Customer Area](https://ca-test.adyen.com/). 2. [Select a merchant account](/account/manage-account-structure#switching-between-accounts).\ If you want to set up automatic capture delay for more than one merchant account, you must do it for each of the merchant accounts. 3. Go to **Settings** > **Account settings**. 4. In the **General** settings, next to **Capture delay**, select the edit icon **. 5. From the dropdown list, select the capture delay that you want to use. Possible values: * **immediate**: Capture happens immediately after authorization. * **\[N] days**: Capture happens N (between 1 and 7) days after authorization. 6. Select **Save**. If you want an individual payment to have a different capture delay, set the delay in the API request. ### Tab: Individual payment - API request You can set delayed automatic capture for an individual payment by including an additional parameter in the API request, depending on which server-side flow you use for your online payments. Setting delayed automatic capture in the API request overrides the capture setting in your Customer Area merchant account. ### Sessions flow When you make the [/sessions](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Checkout/latest/post/sessions) request, additionally include the following parameter: | Parameter name | Description | | ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `captureDelayHours` | The number of hours after authorization when the payment is automatically captured. Example: **2**. | **Example /sessions request with a capture delay of two hours** ```bash curl https://checkout-test.adyen.com/v71/sessions \ -H 'x-api-key: ADYEN_API_KEY' \ -H "idempotency-key: YOUR_IDEMPOTENCY_KEY" \ -H 'content-type: application/json' \ -d '{ "amount": { "value": 1000, "currency": "EUR" }, "captureDelayHours": 2, "returnUrl": "https://your-company.example.com/checkout?shopperOrder=12xy..", "reference": "YOUR_PAYMENT_REFERENCE", "countryCode": "NL", "merchantAccount": "YOUR_MERCHANT_ACCOUNT" }' ``` ### Advanced flow When you make the [/payments](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Checkout/latest/post/payments) request, include the following parameter: | Parameter name | Description | | ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `captureDelayHours` | The number of hours after authorization when the payment is automatically captured. Example: **2**. | **Example for /payments request with a capture delay of two hours, for a card payment** ```bash curl https://checkout-test.adyen.com/v72/payments \ -H 'x-api-key: ADYEN_API_KEY' \ -H 'content-type: application/json' \ -d '{ "amount": { "currency": "EUR", "value": 1000 }, "captureDelayHours": 2, "reference": "YOUR_ORDER_NUMBER", "paymentMethod":{ "type": "scheme", "encryptedCardNumber": "test_4111111111111111", "encryptedExpiryMonth": "test_03", "encryptedExpiryYear": "test_2030", "encryptedSecurityCode": "test_737" }, "returnUrl": "https://your-company.example.com/checkout?shopperOrder=12xy..", "riskData": { "clientData": "eyJ0cmFuc1N0YXR1cy...I6IlkifQ==" }, "merchantAccount": "ADYEN_MERCHANT_ACCOUNT" }' ``` A payment that is automatically captured does *not* trigger a separate CAPTURE webhook. If you are using delayed automatic capture, consider enabling a [CAPTURE webhook](#capture-webhook). To do this, enable the [default event codes](/development-resources/webhooks/webhook-types#default-event-codes) `CAPTURE` and `CAPTURE_FAILED` in the Standard webhook, and turn on **Delayed Capture** in the [webhook settings](/development-resources/webhooks/webhook-types/#webhooks-settings-page). ## Manual capture When you set up manual capture, you must send a capture request after the payment is authorized. After capturing, the funds for the payment get transferred to your account. To use manual capture: 1. [Enable manual capture](#enable-manual-capture), either for every payment or for an individual payment. 2. [Capture the payment](#capture-a-payment). ### Enable manual capture You can enable manual capture in your Customer Area for every payment, or in the API request for an individual payment. The setting in the API request for an individual payment overrides the setting in the Customer Area. ### Tab: Every payment - Customer Area To enable manual capture: 1. Log in to your [Customer Area](https://ca-test.adyen.com/). 2. [Switch to your merchant account](/account/manage-account-structure#switching-between-accounts). 3. Go to **Settings** > **Account settings**. 4. In the **General** settings, next to **Capture delay**, select the edit icon **. 5. From the dropdown list, select **Manual**. 6. Select **Save**. If you want an individual payment to have a different capture setting, set it in the API request. ### Tab: Individual payment- API request In your payment request, you can add a parameter to enable manual capture for that transaction without changing the capture settings for your merchant account. After the payment is authorized, the amount is not captured until you send a [manual capture](#capture-a-payment) request. Setting manual capture in the API request overrides the capture setting in your Customer Area merchant account. To set the capture method for an individual payment to manual, include the following in the [/payments](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Checkout/latest/post/payments) or [/sessions](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Checkout/latest/post/sessions) request: | Field | Data type | Value | | ------------------------------ | --------- | -------- | | `additionalData.manualCapture` | String | **true** | For example, to enable manual capture for a card payment: **Enabling manual capture in a /payments request** #### curl ```bash curl https://checkout-test.adyen.com/v72/payments \ -H 'x-api-key: ADYEN_API_KEY' \ -H 'content-type: application/json' \ -d '{ "additionalData": { "manualCapture": "true" }, "merchantAccount":"YOUR_MERCHANT_ACCOUNT", "paymentMethod":{ "type": "scheme", "encryptedCardNumber": "test_4111111111111111", "encryptedExpiryMonth": "test_03", "encryptedExpiryYear": "test_2030", "encryptedSecurityCode": "test_737" }, "amount":{ "currency":"EUR", "value":1000 }, "reference":"YOUR_ORDER_NUMBER", "returnUrl":"https://your-company.example.com/checkout?shopperOrder=12xy.." }' ``` #### Java ```java // Adyen Java API Library v25.0.0 import com.adyen.Client; import com.adyen.enums.Environment; import com.adyen.model.checkout.*; import java.time.OffsetDateTime; import java.util.*; import com.adyen.model.RequestOptions; import com.adyen.service.checkout.*; // For the live environment, additionally include your liveEndpointUrlPrefix.

// Make the API call const checkoutAPI = new CheckoutAPI(client); const response = checkoutAPI.PaymentsApi.payments(paymentRequest, { idempotencyKey: "UUID" }); ``` After a payment is authorized, you must [capture the payment](#capture-a-payment). ### Capture a payment When you have [enabled manual capture](#enable-manual-capture), either for your account or for an individual transaction, you need to capture the payment as follows: 1. From the payment response or the AUTHORISATION webhook, get the `pspReference` of the authorization you want to capture. 1. Make a POST request to the [/payments/{paymentPspReference}/captures](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Checkout/latest/post/payments/\(paymentPspReference\)/captures) endpoint, where `paymentPspReference` is the `pspReference` of the authorization you want to capture. In your request, include: | Parameter | Required | Description | | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `merchantAccount` | ![-white\_check\_mark-](/user/data/smileys/emoji/white_check_mark.png "-white_check_mark-") | The name of your merchant account that is used to process the payment. | | `amount.value` | ![-white\_check\_mark-](/user/data/smileys/emoji/white_check_mark.png "-white_check_mark-") | The amount in [minor units](/development-resources/currency-codes) (without a decimal point) being captured. This must be the same as or, in case of a [partial capture](#partial-capture), less than the authorized amount. | | `amount.currency` | ![-white\_check\_mark-](/user/data/smileys/emoji/white_check_mark.png "-white_check_mark-") | This must match the currency of the payment you are capturing. | | `reference` | | Your unique identifier for the capture operation. The `reference` field is useful to tag a partial capture for future reconciliation. | The following example shows how to capture a EUR 25.00 payment authorization that has the `pspReference` **WNS7WQ756L2GWR82**. #### curl ```bash curl https://checkout-test.adyen.com/v72/payments/WNS7WQ756L2GWR82/captures \ -H 'x-api-key: ADYEN_API_KEY' \ -H 'content-type: application/json' \ -d '{ "merchantAccount":"YOUR_MERCHANT_ACCOUNT", "amount":{ "currency":"EUR", "value":2500 }, "reference":"YOUR_UNIQUE_REFERENCE" }' ``` #### Java ```java // Adyen Java API Library v39.3.0 import com.adyen.Client; import com.adyen.enums.Environment; import com.adyen.model.checkout.*; import java.time.OffsetDateTime; import java.util.*; import com.adyen.model.RequestOptions; import com.adyen.service.checkout.*; // For the LIVE environment, also include your liveEndpointUrlPrefix.

In the capture response, note the following: * `paymentPspReference`: the PSP reference of the authorization. * `pspReference`: the PSP reference associated with this capture request. This is different from the PSP reference of the authorization. * `status`: **received**. Your capture request will be processed asynchronously. You will receive the result in a webhook. **/captures response** ```json { "merchantAccount": "YOUR_MERCHANT_ACCOUNT", "paymentPspReference": "WNS7WQ756L2GWR82", "pspReference": "JDD6LKT8MBLZNN84", "reference": "YOUR_UNIQUE_REFERENCE", "status": "received", "amount": { "currency": "EUR", "value": 2500 } } ``` 3. Wait for the [CAPTURE webhook](#capture-webhook) to learn the outcome of the request. ## Webhooks for captures Manual capture is an asynchronous process. To keep you informed, we send webhook event messages: * [CAPTURE](#capture-webhook): Indicates if the capture request was valid. There are several [reasons why a capture request can fail](#failed-capture-request). If the request was valid, we send it to the issuing bank through the card scheme, and this usually means the funds will be transferred to your account. * [CAPTURE\_FAILED](#failed-capture): Indicates that the card scheme or issuing bank rejected the capture. This happens only in rare cases. ### CAPTURE webhook When we have processed your capture request, we send you a [webhook event](/development-resources/webhooks) with: * `eventCode`: **CAPTURE**. * `originalReference`: The PSP reference of the authorization. * `pspReference`: The PSP reference associated with the capture request. * `success`: Indicates whether the capture request was successful. Possible values: * **true**: The capture request is valid (for example, the authorization has not expired, and the balance is available) and has been submitted to the bank/third-party processor. In most cases, this means that the funds will be transferred to your account. In rare cases the card scheme can still reject the capture, and you will receive a [CAPTURE\_FAILED webhook](#failed-capture). * **false**: The capture request failed. The webhook event includes a `reason` field with a short description of the problem. [Review the reason](#failed-capture), fix the issue if possible, and resubmit the capture request. ### Tab: success: true ```json { "live":"false", "notificationItems":[ { "NotificationRequestItem":{ "amount":{ "currency":"EUR", "value":500 }, "eventCode":"CAPTURE", "eventDate":"2018-22T15:54:01+02:00", "merchantAccountCode":"YourMerchantAccount", "originalReference":"WNS7WQ756L2GWR82", "paymentMethod":"mc", "pspReference":"JDD6LKT8MBLZNN84", "reason":"", "success":"true" } } ] } ``` ### Tab: success: false ```json { "live":"false", "notificationItems":[ { "NotificationRequestItem":{ "amount":{ "currency":"EUR", "value":500 }, "eventCode":"CAPTURE", "eventDate":"2018-22T15:54:01+02:00", "merchantAccountCode":"YourMerchantAccount", "originalReference":"WNS7WQ756L2GWR82", "paymentMethod":"mc", "pspReference":"JDD6LKT8MBLZNN84", "reason":"Insufficient balance on payment", "success":"false" } } ] } ``` For more information about the included fields, see the [CAPTURE webhook](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Webhooks/latest/post/CAPTURE) reference. #### Reasons for an unsuccessful capture request When a capture request fails, you receive a **CAPTURE** webhook with `success`: **false** and the reason why the request failed. The next table shows the most common reasons. | `reason` | Description | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `Transaction not found` | The capture failed because:- The `pspReference` is missing or incorrect. - You provided an incorrect `merchantAccount`.Check that the `reference` you provided is unique and matches exactly one `pspReference`. | | `Transaction is expired` | The authorization for this payment is [expired](/online-payments/adjust-authorisation#validity). You can try to [re-authorize the payment](/account/manage-payments#reauthorize-a-payment) in your Customer Area. | | `This is a sale transaction, not possible to capture a smaller amount` | This payment method doesn't support separate captures. | | `Operation maximum period allowed: X days` | The capture operation can only be performed within X days from the date the payment was authorized. | | `Only possible to capture the full amount` | This payment method doesn't support partial captures. | | `Modification in different currency than authorisation` | The capture currency does not match the authorized payment currency. | | `Amount too low to be accepted by Card Network` | The capture amount is below the threshold permitted by the card scheme rules. | | `Insufficient balance on payment` | The requested capture amount is more than the balance on the payment. | | `Internal error` | Something unexpected happened on Adyen's end. Contact our [Support Team](https://ca-test.adyen.com/ca/ca/contactUs/support.shtml?form=other). | | `Operation not available` | You do not have the required capture functionality enabled for this payment method. Contact our [Support Team](https://ca-test.adyen.com/ca/ca/contactUs/support.shtml?form=other). | | `Operation failed` | The capture functionality failed for this payment method. Contact our [Support Team](https://ca-test.adyen.com/ca/ca/contactUs/support.shtml?form=other). | The *balance on the payment* is the amount that remains from the original authorization. For example, if a transaction is authorized for EUR 10 but not captured, the balance on the payment is EUR 10. If the full amount is cancelled, or if the authorization expired, the remaining balance on the payment is EUR 0. If a transaction is authorized for EUR 50, and then partially captured for EUR 30, the remaining balance on the payment is EUR 20. ### CAPTURE\_FAILED webhook In rare cases, a capture fails even after you received a [**CAPTURE** webhook](#capture-webhook) with `success`: **true**. The successful webhook event means that we sent the request to the card scheme, but the scheme can still reject the request at this point. This can even happen a few days after you submitted the capture request. This also applies to installment-based transactions. If a capture fails for an installment payment, you receive the same **CAPTURE\_FAILED** webhook.\ Most of the time Adyen can fix the issue, so that you will eventually receive the funds. Sometimes, however, you need to take action yourself. To learn why a capture can fail and what, if anything, you need to do in each case, refer to [Reasons for failed capture](/online-payments/capture/failure-reasons). When a capture fails, we inform you of this with a [webhook event](/development-resources/webhooks) with: * `eventCode`: **CAPTURE\_FAILED** * `originalReference`: The `pspReference` of the authorization. * `pspReference`: The `pspReference` of the capture request. The webhook event contains the reason why the card scheme rejected the capture. You can also find the capture failure reason on the [Payment details page](/account/manage-payments#payment-details) in your [Customer Area](https://ca-test.adyen.com/). **CAPTURE\_FAILED webhook event** ```json { "live":"false", "notificationItems":[ { "NotificationRequestItem":{ "amount":{ "currency":"EUR", "value":10003 }, "eventCode":"CAPTURE_FAILED", "eventDate":"2018-05-27T15:42:02+02:00", "merchantAccountCode":"YourMerchantAccount", "originalReference":"WNS7WQ756L2GWR82", "paymentMethod":"mc", "pspReference":"VK9DRSLLRCQ2WN82", "reason":"Capture Failed", "success":"true" } } ] } ``` An overview of failed captures is available in your [Payment accounting report](/reporting/invoice-reconciliation/payment-accounting-report). #### Testing failed captures In our test environment, you can check how your integration handles failed captures: 1. Make a [card payment](/payment-methods/cards), specifying: * `holderName`: **capture failed** ```json { "amount": { "currency": "EUR", "value": 500 }, "reference": "Capture failed test", "paymentMethod": { "type": "scheme", "encryptedCardNumber": "test_4111111111111111", "encryptedExpiryMonth": "test_03", "encryptedExpiryYear": "test_2030", "encryptedSecurityCode": "test_737", "holderName": "capture failed" }, "returnUrl": "https://your-company.example.com/...", "merchantAccount": "YOUR_MERCHANT_ACCOUNT" } ``` 2. Capture this payment, using either automatic immediate capture or [manual capture](#manual-capture). After we have processed the capture request, we send you a [CAPTURE\_FAILED webhook event](/online-payments/capture#failed-capture). This request may take several hours to process. ## See also * [API Explorer](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/#/CheckoutService/latest/post/payments/{paymentPspReference}/captures) * [Card authorisation types](/online-payments/adjust-authorisation#authorisation-types) * [Cancel](/online-payments/cancel) * [Payments lifecycle](/account/payments-lifecycle) * [Payment methods](/payment-methods) * [Capture payments in your Customer Area](/account/manage-payments#capture-a-payment)
