Adyen is no longer developing the Classic API integration
This page is for the Classic API (/authorise) integration, which we no longer accept new integrations with.
We strongly recommend migrating to the newer Capture integration. To use this newer integration, you must also migrate to the Checkout API.
Some payment methods (for example, cards) require capturing a previously authorised payment to collect the reserved funds. For these methods you can enable automatic capture, manually capture them in Customer Area, or perform a /capture server call to the Adyen payment platform.
For more information on capturing payments and performing other actions (like cancel or refund), see Payment modifications.
Request
In a /capture request, specify your merchant account, set the amount to capture (either partial or full), and pass the pspReference from the /authorisation response as the originalReference parameter.
For information on all available fields, see API Explorer.
The following example shows the /capture request for a previously authorised payment with pspReference equal to 8313547924770610:
Response
If the message you sent is syntactically valid, you will receive a capture-received response. For information on all fields available in a response, see API Explorer.
The capture-received response doesn't mean that the payment is captured, just that we've received the request to capture.
We send a final capture result in a separate webhook event to your system. For more information, see Webhooks.
The following example shows the response when Adyen receives a capture request:
