How do I finalize an Uncaptured charge in Stripe?

Collect’s Authorize-Only feature allows you to hold a charge without finalizing. To finalize an Uncaptured charge in Stripe, you must ‘capture’ it manually at a later time.

If you used a card reader to authorize the charge, you will have 24 hours to capture the payment. If you used Manual Entry, you have 7 days to capture the payment.

To finalize an Uncaptured charge in Stripe:

  1. Login to your Stripe Dashboard.
  2. Select ‘Payments’ from the top menu.
  3. Authorize-Only payments are listed as “Uncaptured.” Find the correct payment and select it from the payments tab.
  4. Select “Capture” to capture the payment and charge the card.
