1. Create an order

To capture funds, create an order and:

• Set the intent field to CAPTURE
• Specify the end receiver of the funds in the purchase_units/payee object.
• Specify when funds should be disbursed to the payee upon calling capture order in the purchase_units/payment_instruction/disbursement_mode field. In this example, funds are disbursed immediately upon capture. To hold these funds, see Delay disbursements.
• Specify fees for the order in the purchase_units/payment_instruction/platform_fees array.

2. Capture an order

After your buyer approves the order, capture the order.

Note: Orders can't be authorized until the status of the order is APPROVED. The order status is APPROVED when the payer successfully completes checkout.
