Whats mean Capture on Payment

Hi there,
I am try to understand the payment methods from here: https://docs.nopcommerce.com/en/developer/plugins/payment-method.html

CaptureAsync. Some payment gateways allow you to authorize payments before they're captured. It allows store owners to review order details before the payment is done.

I dont understand which purpose for use the Auth Capture feature. Someone can explain it please?

How timely ;)  this may interest you

The TLDR answer is so that you can authorize (verify) that the customers payment method is valid, but not yet capture (charge) them until later (e.g. when shipped).

Thank you very much for answer.

As far as I understand, when the customer buys the product, he will not withdraw the money but will make sure that he receives a provision. When I ship, the money will be withdrawn from the card, am I right?

If the payment status is Authorized, the relevant buttons will be available to Void and Capture the order. Capture is used to collect the funds from the customer. Void cancels an order that has not been captured.

Also you may not have long to Capture the money
Depends on the Merchant - for example 7 days for some.
So if you dont Capture  the funds then they will be automactcially be released.

Also while you have the funds captured the Customer cannot use them on the card.
So you should Void the Capture ASAP if there is something wrong and you wont be moving forward  to Capture the funds. i.e Stock not going to be available within 7 days
