Capture Transactions

The Capture transaction transfers funds from the customer to the merchant. The Capture references the associated Authorization by means of the cnpTxnId element returned in the Authorization response.

To perform a capture on a Closed-loop Gift Card, submit a Gift Card Capture transaction, not an Capture transaction. For more information, see Gift Card Capture Transactions.

You send a Capture after the order has been fulfilled. In some cases, it is not possible to fulfill a customer’s entire order in one shipment (for example, if some items are back ordered, or some shipped from an off-site DCS). In this situation, you can send a Partial Capture transaction by setting the partial attribute to true. A Partial Capture contains only the data relevant to the items that were actually shipped, enabling you to settle the funds related to those items.

If you settle in a currency other than US or Canada, you cannot use partial captures.
