# Capture

`POST /transactions/capture`

Used to close out an existing authorization request. If the invoice number  already exists, the amount requested will be compared to the approved amount  on file, and Shift4 will request approval for the additional amount only. If approved, the authorization will be converted to a sale transaction  and be ready to be batched.

This will bypass prompting the consumer for a cashback amount.

We will submit the transaction data as described above, however issuers may modify or truncate that data as they see fit.

This should be set appropriately in the initial authorization/sale request. In subsequent requests, this field should be left blank or should not be sent. **Note:** Subsequent request here does not apply to the secondary request for card on file type transactions or reuse of the same card. An example of a subsequent request would be a capture after an authorization. You would not include `card.present` in the capture, which is the subsequent request. Another example is when performing an incremental authorization where you perform an authorization, followed by an incremental authorization then a capture. The second authorization (incremental) and the capture are the subsequent requests where you would not include `card.present`.

Requires sending `cardOnFile.recurringFrequency` and `cardOnFile.recurringExpiry` | Below is a table showing the valid values for uses cases where you already have a card on file and are using that existing card to process a transaction. | Value | Initiator | Recurring | 3D Secure | Description | |--------|------------|-----------|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | U01 | Cardholder | No | Yes | Unscheduled transaction using the card on file initiated by the cardholder | | U02 | Merchant | No | No | Unscheduled transaction using the card on file initiated by the merchant | | U03 | Merchant | Yes | No | Merchant initiated recurring payment using the card on file | | U04 | Merchant | No | No | Identifies a transaction as a Reauthorization COF transaction. | | U05 | Merchant | No | No | Identifies a transaction as a Resubmission COF transaction. Only certain merchant categories are able to send a resubmission, and it can only be done if the original authorization attempt was declined due to insufficient funds. | | U06 | Merchant | No | No | Identifies a transaction as an Estimated Authorization COF transaction. | | U07 | Merchant | No | No | Identifies a transaction as a Delayed Charges COF transaction. For example, a hotel might charge a customer for room damages after the guest has already checked out. | | U08 | Merchant | No | No | Identifies a transaction as an Incremental COF transaction. For example, a hotel which authorized a customer’s card for one night at check-in might increase the authorization amount to cover two nights when the customer decides to extend their stay. Shift4 automatically detects this scenario and sends the appropriate value to the processor. | | U09 | Merchant | No | No | Identifies a transaction as a No Show COF transaction. For example, a hotel might charge a customer who does not show up for a booked stay. | See the [Card On File Transactions](/guides/advanced-concepts/card-on-file-transactions) section for additional details.
        - `recurringExpiry` string — Date after which no further authorizations shall be performed. This field is limited to 8 characters, and the accepted format is YYYYMMDD. **Conditional: This field is required if it's the first recurring transaction (`cardOnFile.type = S02`). This field is not needed if the transaction is not recurring or if the transaction is a subsequent recurring transaction.**
        - `recurringFrequency` string — Indicates the minimum number of days between authorizations. **Conditional: 'This field is required if it's the first recurring transaction (`cardOnFile.type = S02`). This field is not needed if the transaction is not recurring or if the transaction is a subsequent recurring transaction.**
        - `transactionId` string — This field is returned in the initial COF response, and ties subsequent COF transactions to the original authorization. For example, if a merchant runs a Sale on a card for the first time, they will receive a transactionId back in the response. A month later, when the merchant wants to perform an additional Sale with the card on file, they would send a Sale request including the transactionId they received from the first sale. **Conditional: Must be sent in subsequent COF requests if you are not processing with a Global Token Vault token. If using Global Token Vault tokens then this field is not required**
        - `transactionLinkId` string — A unique identifier assigned to each transaction to link related events throughout the transaction lifecycle. This field is supported for Mastercard brand only. For example, if a merchant runs a Sale on a card for the first time, they will receive a transactionLinkId back in the response. A month later, when the merchant wants to perform an additional Sale with the card on file, they would send a Sale request including the transactionLinkId they received from the first sale. **Conditional: Must be sent in subsequent COF requests if you are not processing with a Global Token Vault token. If using Global Token Vault tokens then this field is not required**
    - `universalToken` UniversalToken
      - `value` string — An identifier for a card or payment account across all Shift4 merchants.
    - `payment` object
      - `accountReference` string — The Payment Account Reference (PAR) is a value assigned by the BIN Controller, which is defined as either an issuer or card brand. This field is associated directly with the cardholder's account. This value enables merchants, acquirers, and payment processors to link a payment token to a cardholder’s underlying payment account.
