partially captured

Partially captured is a status in which only part of the amount authorized for a card payment has been captured for settlement.

In plain English

An authorized card amount sets the maximum that can be taken, but the final settled amount can be smaller. This status means only some of that approved amount was actually taken for settlement.

In context

Here, it labels a payment whose settled card amount is only part of the amount that was previously authorized.

Situation
Handling verification holds, payment disputes, chargebacks, reversals, and failed refunds
What it communicates
labels a payment where only part of the authorized amount was finalized

Meaning limits

By itself, this status does not say why the full authorized amount was not captured.

Examples

“The card payment remained partially captured after only £60 of the £100 authorization was taken for settlement.”

Core meaning

“Mark the payment as partially captured when the settled card amount is lower than the amount previously authorized.”
