Manual Capture

Manual Capture is a MultiSafepay solution that lets you capture credit card payments either partially or in full. It supports Maestro, Mastercard, and Visa.

Full capture

Full capture is when a customer places an order but you are unable to ship it right away. An authorization is created for the full amount of the transaction. The funds are settled when you ship the order.

Partial capture

Partial capture is when a customer places an order for multiple items but you can’t ship them all at once, only in separate shipments. An authorization is created for the full amount of the transaction, and the amount for each shipment is settled when you send it.

For how Manual Capture can benefit your business, see Capture your payments.

Statuses

About order and transaction statuses

  • Order status: the progress of the customer’s order with you, independent of the payment
  • Transaction status: the progression towards settling the funds in your MultiSafepay balance
