Capture payment

The Capture payment action captures payment for the order that triggers the workflow. If you want to use Capture Payment in your workflow, then you need to ensure that in your Shopify admin, you set up manual payment capture.

Caution

Depending on the trigger used to start a workflow, the Capture payment action might not take effect. If a third-party app creates an additional payment authorization on an order, such as for an order edit or a post-purchase upsell, then the workflow might not capture the payment. If you use an app for editing orders or post-purchase upsells, then review and test your workflow to verify that your payments are captured.

For example, you create a workflow that uses the Order created trigger and the Capture payment action. The Order created trigger starts a workflow only when a new order is created, and does not monitor an order for new transactions. If the order is edited or has a post-purchase upsell, then the new payment is not captured. In this case, use the Order transaction created trigger instead, which starts a workflow every time a new transaction is created on an order.

Triggers

The Capture payment action has a hidden field added to it by the trigger. This field, Order ID, identifies the order to capture payment for. The order ID is set by default and can't be changed.

The Capture payment action can be used in workflows that start with the following triggers:

• Order canceled
• Order created
• Order fulfilled
• Order paid
• Order risk analyzed
• Order transaction created
• Fulfillment created
• Fulfillment event created
• Refund created
• Tender transaction created

Capture payment if order is not high fraud risk

After an order is created and the risk analysis is complete, this workflow checks that the risk level is not high, and if the payment can be captured. If so, it captures payment. In order to use this workflow, you must also change your Admin settings to use manual payment capture. View template

Capture payment when order is fulfilled

Capture authorized payments when orders with due on fulfillment payment terms become fulfilled. You'll also need to set your store's payment capture method to "automatic at fulfillment" for this workflow to work properly. View template

Get notified about high risk orders before capturing payment

Receive an email prompting a review of high risk orders before capturing payment (you must have payments set to manual capture). View template
