Checkout v2 – Capture

Two-phase payments: When dealing in physical goods using two-phase payment instruments, all goods must be shipped before you capture the authorized amount. This is regulated in part by the Swedish Distance and Doorstep Sales Act, required in our terms and (for card payments) required by Visa and Mastercard.

Step 5: Capture

Captures are only possible when a payment has a successful authorize transaction, naturally excluding one-phase payment instruments like Swish and Trustly. Two-phase payment instruments like Card and Vipps however, require a Capture to be completed.

Please note that you have a maximum of 5 consecutive failed attempts at a capture. The payment will be locked after this, and you need to contact us for another attempt.

In addition to full captures, it is possible to do partial captures of a part of the authorized amount. You can do other captures on the same payment later, up to the total authorized amount. Useful for when you have to split orders into several shipments, for instance.

First off, you must request the order information from the server to get the request link. With this, you can request the capture with the amount to capture, and get the status back.

To capture the authorized payment, we need to perform create-paymentorder-capture against the accompanying href returned in the operations list. See the abbreviated request and response below:

Show fields

Required	Field	Type	Description
	`transaction`	`object`	The transaction object.
	`description`	`string`	The description of the capture transaction.
	`amount`	`integer`	The transaction amount (including VAT, if any) entered in the lowest monetary unit of the selected currency. E.g.: `10000` = `100.00` SEK, `5000` = `50.00` SEK.
	`vatAmount`	`integer`	The payment’s VAT (Value Added Tax) `amount`, entered in the lowest monetary unit of the selected currency. E.g.: `10000` = `100.00` SEK, `5000` = `50.00` SEK. The `vatAmount` entered will not affect the `amount` shown on the payment page, which only shows the total `amount`. This field is used to specify how much of the total `amount` the VAT will be. Set to `0` (zero) if there is no VAT `amount` charged.
	`payeeReference`	`string`	A unique reference from the merchant system. Set per operation to ensure an exactly-once delivery of a transactional operation. Length and content validation depends on whether the `transaction.number` or the `payeeReference` is sent to the acquirer. If Swedbank Pay handles the settlement, the `transaction.number` is sent and the `payeeReference` must be in the format of `A-Za-z0-9` and `string(30)`. If you handle the settlement, Swedbank Pay will send the `payeeReference` and it will be limited to the format of `string(12)`. All characters must be digits. In Invoice Payments `payeeReference` is used as an invoice/receipt number, if the `receiptReference` is not defined.
	`receiptReference`	`string(30)`	A unique reference to the transaction, provided by the merchant. Can be used as an invoice or receipt number as a supplement to `payeeReference`.
	`orderItems`	`array`	The array of items being purchased with the order. Note that authorization `orderItems` will not be printed on invoices, so lines meant for print must be added in the Capture request. The authorization `orderItems` will, however, be used in the Merchant Portal when captures or reversals are performed, and might be shown other places later. It is required to use this field to be able to send Capture `orderItems`. `Capture` requests should only contain items meant to be captured from the order.
	`reference`	`string`	A reference that identifies the order item.
	`name`	`string`	The name of the order item.
	`type`	`enum`	`PRODUCT`, `SERVICE`, `SHIPPING_FEE`, `PAYMENT_FEE`, `DISCOUNT`, `VALUE_CODE` or `OTHER`. The type of the order item.
	`class`	`string`	The classification of the order item. Can be used for assigning the order item to a specific product category, such as `MobilePhone`. Note that `class` cannot contain spaces and must follow the regex pattern `[\w-]*`. Swedbank Pay may use this field for statistics.
	`itemUrl`	`string`	The URL to a page that can display the purchased item, product or similar.
︎︎︎	`imageUrl`	`string`	The URL to an image of the order item.
	`description`	`string`	The human readable description of the order item.

Et voilà! Checkout should now be complete, the payment should be secure and everyone should be happy. But, sometimes you also need to implement the cancellation and reversal operations described below.

Authorizations are kept valid in our systems for 180 days, and we accept captures within this timeframe. Please be aware that acquirers might have a shorter time limit before authorized amounts are released in their systems. We advise you to check with your acquirer if you have concerns about these limits.
