Vipps – Capture

Two-phase payments: When dealing in physical goods using two-phase payment methods, 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.

Capture

The capture transaction is where you ensure that the funds are drawn from the payer. This step usually takes place when the product has exchanged possession. You must first do a GET request on the payment to find the create-capture operation.

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

Create Capture Transaction

To create a capture transaction to withdraw money from the payer’s Vipps account, you need to perform the create-capture operation.

Field	Type	Description
`transaction`	`object`	The object representation of the generic `transaction` resource, containing information about the current transaction.
`amount`	`integer`	Amount Entered in the lowest momentary units of the selected currency. E.g. 10000 100.00 NOK, 5000 50.00 SEK.
`vatAmount`	`integer`	Amount Entered in the lowest momentary units of the selected currency. E.g. 10000 100.00 NOK, 5000 50.00 SEK.
`description`	`string`	A textual description of the capture transaction.
`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.

Capture Response

The created capture resource contains information about the capture transaction made against a vipps payment.

`number`	`integer`	The transaction `number`, useful when there’s need to reference the transaction in human communication. Not usable for programmatic identification of the transaction, where `id` should be used instead.
`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.

Capture Sequence Diagram

Capture can only be done on an authorized transaction. It is possible to do a partial capture where you only capture a part of the authorized amount. You can do more captures on the same payment up to the total authorization amount later.

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

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.
