Overview

Our delayed capture function allows you to delay the capture for up to 30 days. Funds are being held until the planned date; you can, however, capture your delayed capture, early by navigating to the Blink card transactions page under the Reporting section and locating the specific transaction. With an early capture, you have the flexibility to charge your customer with a partial amount.

You can utilise delayed capture via the take and request a payment page.

Delayed capture

Choose how many days to delay automatic capture (max 30). Fill in card and address details and click Charge.

Request a payment

You can also send a payment link with a delayed capture option.

After enabling the feature, go to the Request a payment page. From the drop-down menu, select the MID you want to use to take the payment and then choose Sale as the transaction type.

Next, provide the customer's full name, email address, and transaction reference (if applicable). The transaction reference will appear on the email receipt and transaction history. If your account supports multiple currencies, you can select the desired currency by clicking on the corresponding symbol from the list.

Choose the number of days to delay automatic capture (maximum 30) and send the payment link to your customer.

Once the customer fills in their card details, a hold will be placed on the funds in their account, but the actual capture will be deferred until the specified date.

Toggle on delay capture

Manual capture of payment

After setting up the delayed capture, the payment will be automatically captured at the scheduled time. However, you can also capture it manually and earlier than the scheduled time. To do so, go to the Blink card transaction page under the Reporting section, locate the specific transaction, and click on the Capture button.

Partial amount

When capturing early, you can charge customers a partial amount.
