Capture Payment

Why Capturing Payments Is Important

The Capture Payment call should be completed by merchants in parallel with shipping the order. This call triggers the invoice to be sent to the customer, with terms based on the payment method selected at checkout.

Merchants also have the option to perform a Partial Capture, which is especially useful when fulfilling an order in multiple shipments or when parts of an order need to be changed—without canceling or reprocessing the entire transaction.

Response Fields

• CapturedAmount – Total amount successfully captured in this API call.
• AuthorizedAmount – Original total amount of the order as specified during the AUTHORIZE call.
• RemainingAuthorizedAmount – Amount still available for capture after this partial capture.
• CaptureNumber – Unique identifier of this capture in Riverty’s system, required for refunds and further operations - Refer to this page for additional information on references.

Key Considerations

1. When Riverty receives an authorization request, the final outcome is either accepted or rejected. If accepted, the order is placed in a "reserved" state. It will only be finalized once a Capture or Cancel request is made. If no follow-up action is taken, the reservation will be automatically voided after 30 days, depending on the region.

2. Always provide your own unique reference in the _invoiceNumber_ field. If omitted, Riverty will generate an invoice number for communication with the customer. Inconsistent invoice numbers may cause confusion.

3. For partial captures, it is mandatory to include the specific order lines being captured in the request payload.
