Payment actions are operations you can perform on a payment after it has been authorised. While a standard payment completes in a single step, many real-world payment flows require additional steps - such as capturing funds after fulfilling an order, returning money to a shopper, or sending them a record of their purchase.
Teya supports three payment actions:
By default, payments are captured immediately after authorisation. In some cases you may want to capture the payment separately - this is known as a manual capture.
A common use case is order fulfilment. After a payment is authorised, you ship the goods. If delivered successfully, you capture the payment. If delivery fails, you cancel the payment instead.
```admonition icon: fas fa-info-circle title: One capture per payment content: Each authorised payment can only be captured once. You may capture any amount up to the full authorised amount, but once a capture request is made, no further captures are possible. For example, if a payment was authorised for £100.00 and you capture £10.00, the remaining £90.00 cannot be captured and will be released back to the shopper. ```To capture a payment, make a POST request using the payment ID returned when the payment was authorised:
```admonition icon: fas fa-code title: API Reference content:POST /v1/transactions/{id}/capture - Capture an authorised payment
```
To return funds to your shopper, you can refund a payment after it has been captured.
A refund does one of the following:
You can issue multiple refunds against a single payment. The combined total of all refunds cannot exceed the original payment amount. For example, if a shopper paid £50.00, you could issue two separate refunds of £25.00 each, but not a third.
To issue a refund, make a POST request with the ID of the payment you want to refund:
```admonition icon: fas fa-code title: API Reference content:POST /v3/refunds - Refund a payment
```
Send a digital receipt to a shopper for a completed payment via email.
To send a digital receipt, make a POST request with the payment ID and the shopper's email address:
```admonition icon: fas fa-code title: API Reference content:POST /v1/transactions/{id}/receipts - Send a digital receipt
```
