Capture an authorisation

Captures the authorisation hold on a payment, returning a unique reference for this request. Usually the full authorisation amount is captured, however it's also possible to capture a smaller amount, which results in cancelling the remaining authorisation balance.

Payment methods that are captured automatically after authorisation don't need to be captured. However, submitting a capture request on these transactions will not result in double charges. If immediate or delayed auto-capture is enabled, calling the capture method is not necessary.

For more information refer to Capture.
