Capture a payment

Capture the payment of an existing, uncaptured charge that was created with the capture option set to false.

Uncaptured payments expire a set number of days after they are created (7 by default), after which they are marked as refunded and capture attempts will fail.

Don’t use this method to capture a PaymentIntent-initiated charge. Use Capture a PaymentIntent.
