Capture Payment

This endpoint performs a direct payment capture and is the equivalent of capturing a credit card.

This operation is idempotent based on the token, which allows for the safe retry of requests, guaranteeing the payment operation is only performed once.

<Note title="Note">

Since the idempotency of this endpoint is based on the token, the inclusion of a requestId is not required. </Note>

Successful Response (201)

If payment is approved by Clearpay, returns a Payment object in response.

<Note title="Note">

The Payment object is only returned if the payment is approved by Clearpay and successfully captured. If the payment is declined or fails, an error object is returned. See the Errors section below. </Note>
