In plain English
This means the card payment was approved earlier, but the later step of taking it for settlement did not go through. It names the result of that capture attempt, not the earlier authorization itself.
In context
Here, it labels a payment as one where the authorized card charge was not successfully captured for settlement.
- Situation
- Handling verification holds, payment disputes, chargebacks, reversals, and failed refunds
- What it communicates
- labels a payment whose final capture did not complete
Meaning limits
By itself, this status does not say why the capture attempt was unsuccessful.
Examples
“The card was authorized at checkout, but the hotel booking was later marked capture failed.”
“The ledger lists one card payment as capture failed.”
