How to capture payment (Shopify Admin 2)
There are 2 ways you can capture payment from your orders.
1. Capturing automatically
This is the most hands-off way to capturing payment.
To set this up, log in to your Shopify Admin and go to Settings > Checkout. Scroll down to the section entitled "Order processing". Select the Automatically authorize and charge the buyer's credit card for the full amount of the order option. Click Save.
When you go to process the order (under the Orders tab), it will look like this:
Now all you'll need to do is fulfill the order.
Note: You can set up your products to automatically be fulfilled by further checking off the options in the pink box below.
2. Capturing Manually
To set up manual payment capturing, go to Settings > Checkout in your admin panel.
Scroll down to the section entitled "Order processing".
Make sure only the first option, "Automatically authorize the buyer's credit card for the full amount of the order," is checked off.
Now that you've set up manual capturing for your store, you must perform the following steps to capture funds for every order, or you will not get paid.
How to capture payment manually for every order:
1. To capture payment for an order, go to the Orders page in your admin panel.
2. Find an order in your order's list that has a **Payment Status** of "authorized," and click on the order number. This will open the info page for this specific order.
3. From the order info page, click the “Capture up to $” button. A new text box will appear below it.
4. You can modify the amount you wish to capture by changing the dollar figure displayed in the text box.
5. Once the number is correct, click the “Accept this amount” button to complete the payment capture.
Note: You will want to capture less than the displayed amount only if the customer has canceled part of the order, or part of the order is out of stock. You can always capture less, but never more.
6. You will now find a new entry under “Order History” that states “We successfully captured x [currency].
*To capture payment for more than one order at a time, go to the Orders page in your admin panel. Check off the boxes of the orders you wish to capture. Click the "Bulk Actions" button, and select "Capture order payments."*
