Capturing an Authorization

If you have performed an Authorization transaction, you must capture the funds in order to receive payment. PayPal recommends that you capture payments within three days of the original authorization.

To capture an Authorization transaction:

1. Log in to your PayPal account at https://www.paypal.com.

2. Click the History tab.

3. Click the Capture button associated with the transaction you want to capture.

4. Review the information on the Capture Funds page and input the amount to capture.

5.  Click Capture Funds.

The funds are transferred to your PayPal account.

• After performing an Authorization transaction using the Virtual Terminal, you can immediately perform a capture by clicking the Transaction ID on the Transaction confirmation page. Follow step 2 above to capture the transaction.
