Sending Capture Modification
3 Sending Capture Modification
When the transaction is authorised, and the goods are sent/delivered to the shopper, a capture modification
must be submitted to Adyen. This modification triggers the invoice to be sent to the shopper.
The merchant is expected to send a capture modification as soon as the goods are shipped. There is no time
limit on the time between the authorisation and capture event. This modification adheres to the standard
Adyen modification protocol defined in the Adyen Merchant Integration Manual.
When the capture request is processed a second call is done to the Merchants Open Invoice Details Service.
The amount in the request is equal to the amount that is requested for capturing.
Please note that at this time it is only possible to submit one capture message for each authorisation. This
capture message can have a maximum transaction amount of the amount authorised. Even if auto-capture is
enabled for the Merchant Account there will be no auto-capture for open invoice payments by default - you
will always have to submit a Capture Modification yourself. It is possible that Adyen configures auto-capture
for open invoice payments for your account but this has to be requested separately via Adyen Support.
