Manual Capture

ℹ️
Manual capture is not available for payments processed through Paysafe terminal readers.

Manual capture lets you place a pre-authorization on a card for a specific amount, then manually capture the full amount or a portion of it later. This approach verifies that the account is valid and has sufficient funds to cover the payment without immediately debiting the cardholder’s account.

To pre-authorize an amount, set the capture_method to manual when Creating a Payment IntentAPI. When you're ready to complete the payment, use the Capture a Payment IntentAPI endpoint.
