Capture

Capturing the authorized funds of two-phased transactions.

Capture

Captures are only possible when a payment has a successful Authorization transaction, naturally excluding one-phase payment methods like Swish and Trustly. They will be marked as a Sale transaction. Two-phase payment methods like card and Vipps however, require a Capture to be completed.

Please note that you have a maximum of 5 consecutive failed attempts at a capture. The payment will be locked after the fifth, and you need to contact us for further attempts.

In addition to full captures, it is possible to do partial captures of the authorized amount. You can do more captures on the same payment later, up to the total authorized amount. A useful tool for when you have to split orders into several shipments.

First off, you must request the order information from the server to get the request link. With this, you can request the capture with the amount to capture, and get the status back.

Create Capture Transaction

To capture the authorized payment, you need to perform a capture against the accompanying href returned in the operations list. See the abbreviated request and response below:
