# Capture a recurring payment

[View source](/online-payments/classic-integrations/classic-api-integration/tokenization/capture-a-recurring-payment.md)

**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](/online-payments/capture) integration. To use this newer integration, you must also [migrate to the Checkout API](/online-payments/upgrade-your-integration/migrate-to-checkout-api).

Some payment methods (for example, cards) require capturing a [previously authorised payment](/online-payments/classic-integrations/classic-api-integration/tokenization/authorise-a-recurring-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](/online-payments/modify-payments).

## 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](/online-payments/classic-integrations/classic-api-integration/tokenization/store-payment-details) as the `originalReference` parameter.

For information on all available fields, see [API Explorer](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/#/Payment/latest/capture).

The following example shows the `/capture` request for a previously authorised payment with `pspReference` equal to **8313547924770610**:

#### JSON

const response = paymentAPI.capture(captureRequest);
```

## 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](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/#/Payment/latest/capture__section_resParams).

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](/development-resources/webhooks).

The following example shows the response when Adyen receives a capture request:

#### JSON

```json
{
   "pspReference":"8413547924770610",
   "response":"[capture-received]"
}
```

#### Soap
