--- title: "Payment Capture Settings" description: "Review payment capture protections, payment terms, and conditions for capturing authorized orders." url: https://docs.orderediting.com/en/articles/14153781-payment-capture-settings collection: "Payment Capture & Unpaid Edits" updated: 2026-10-28 language: en --- # Payment Capture Settings Review payment capture protections, payment terms, and conditions for capturing authorized orders. # Where to find these settings Open **App Settings > Global settings >** [**Payment Capture**](/docs/en/articles/14153346-payment-capture). The protections appear after delayed payment capture is enabled. Select **Advanced settings** for payment terms and capture conditions. For the end-to-end setup, see [Payment Capture](/docs/en/articles/14153346-payment-capture). # Default payment protections When Order Editing is managing delayed capture, three protections are available and are on by default.

Setting	Effect
Never capture orders likely to resolve in a chargeback	Excludes orders Shopify marks high risk. Staff must review and capture them manually if approved.
Always refund customers for unused portions of their payments	Releases uncaptured funds after the editing time when a customer reduces the order total.
Capture payments before the authorization window closes	Attempts capture before an authorization expires, including when an order remains on hold.

Turning off a protection changes only that safeguard. It does not turn off delayed payment capture. # Payment Terms **Allow Order Editing to read your payment terms** lets the app recognise deferred-payment orders such as net-14, net-30, and net-60. It requires Shopify's `read_payment_terms` permission. When enabled, Order Editing can avoid treating a pre-qualified payment-terms order as an ordinary unpaid order. Shopify remains responsible for the agreed payment schedule. ## Outstanding-balance reminder After you grant payment-term read access and Order Editing records that permission, opening or refreshing an order with Shopify payment terms hides the **Complete your order edit** reminder. This includes its **Pay outstanding balance** and **Undo edits** actions. It applies to fixed-date and net terms, including terms that are already overdue. This reminder behavior follows the granted permission independently of the payment-terms settings toggle. Hiding the reminder does not capture payment, mark the order paid, or change its payment schedule. Continue managing payment through your existing payment-plan workflow. Orders without payment terms keep their usual reminder behavior. If Order Editing cannot read the terms, it keeps the reminder rather than assuming the order uses a payment plan. To check this behavior, open an existing eligible order with payment terms and refresh its order status page. You do not need to place a new order. # Capture Conditions Capture Conditions add requirements that an authorized order must meet before Order Editing captures it.

Condition	Options
Required Order Tags	Require all selected tags or any selected tag.
Required Fulfillment Status	Fulfilled, Unfulfilled, On Hold, or Partially Fulfilled.
Required Order Risk Level	High, Medium, Low, None, or Pending.

Conditions are optional. Add only those required by your warehouse or risk process; an empty or overly narrow condition can stop otherwise eligible payments from being captured. # Verify a settings change 1. Use an order with an authorized, capturable payment. 2. Confirm the order matches every configured capture condition. 3. Let the editing window end. 4. Check the payment status and order timeline in Shopify. 5. Repeat with an order that should fail one condition and confirm it remains uncaptured. # Troubleshooting ## Payment terms cannot be enabled Grant **Allow view access to payment terms**, then return to the page. The toggle remains unavailable without the Shopify permission. ## An eligible payment was not captured Check delayed capture is enabled, Shopify is still set to manual capture, the authorization remains capturable, and every Capture Condition matches. Review high-risk exclusion and the order's fulfilment status as well. ## A downgrade still shows an authorization for the old amount Confirm **Always refund customers for unused portions of their payments** is enabled and the editing window has ended. Payment-provider timing can affect when the released amount disappears from a customer's account. ## Related - [Payment Capture](https://docs.orderediting.com/en/articles/14153346-payment-capture.md) - [Reverse Unpaid Order Edits](https://docs.orderediting.com/en/articles/14121932-reverse-unpaid-order-edits.md)
