Capture refers to the formal transfer of authorized funds from the shopper's
account to the merchant's account. By default, payment authorization is
automatically captured immediately after authorization. Many payment methods
support separate authorization and capture, allowing for delayed capture,
manual capture, or partial capture, and authorization can be canceled.
Capture, along with void and refund, is classified as operations that modify
payment status.

Capture refers to the action of transferring reserved funds from the shopper to the merchant, where the merchant formally deducts (i.e., collects) the authorized funds from the customer's bank account. By default, payment is automatically captured immediately after authorization.
Many payment methods support separate authorization and capture. This means you can set capture delays; manually capture payments (using API calls), perform partial captures; or cancel authorizations.
Capture, void, and refund are collectively called modifying payments because they modify the status of authorized payment requests.
