Capture Payment

Produceman — Tue, 17 May 2022 17:38:30 GMT

I'm in great need to have the option to capture payments? Does anyone know of an workaround to this option as Square has told me they do not offer this. Most if not all square competitors have this option. I was very shocked that Square does not offer this feature.

@Produceman What do you mean by capture payments? Are you meaning to do an authorization pending completion of a sale? Square does offer prior authorizations within the QR self code ordering system for like bars and restaurants.

Thanks for replying. So want I looking for is when a customer placing an order the card payment is on hold until the order is complete. This option would not automatically capture the payment until I tell it too. Shopify offers this feature, I just simply don't want to leave square.

I need this for my online ordering system for my produce company. I currently use Square for retail, do you think this is the problem?
