Authorization, Automatic Capture, and Late Capture

Authorization is the first step in performing a transaction. The merchant can choose to perform automatic capture or late capture.

See the API Reference

Capture of a transaction can be executed automatically along with the authorization request (called "automatic capture") or as a capture request at a later time (called "late capture").

In authorization with automatic capture, the transaction amount is confirmed automatically without the need for an additional capture transaction. To perform authorization with automatic capture, you need to set the lateCapture field to false.

In authorization with late capture, the authorization only affects the cardholder's credit limit, but does not generate a charge on the consumer's statement until the confirmation (capture) occurs. To perform authorization with late capture, you need to set the lateCapture field to true.
