# Authorize & Capture – Not changing any functionality

 * Hi – I’m trying to figure out how the Authorize & Capture functionality works.
   I read through the thread here: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/what-is-authorization-and-capture-setting](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/what-is-authorization-and-capture-setting)
 * From what I understand, if I check the box for Authorize & Capture then the credit
   card will be authorized for payment for 7 days upon the order being completed
   and will then be charged once I mark an order as complete. That is working as
   expected.
 * However, if I uncheck the Authorize & Capture checkbox, then the functionality
   works the exact same. Order is placed, Stripe shows a new, Uncaptured payment.
   When I mark the order as complete inside of WooCommerce, Stripe shows the same
   record as being paid. Both Stripe and Striper are currently set to Test/Testing
   mode respectively as I’m working through implementations on a staging site.
 * I would really appreciate any explanation regarding how this functionality is
   intended to work – I would prefer that payments be captured automatically when
   an order is placed without the need to mark it as complete upon an order being
   placed as the thread above shows.
 * Thanks,
    – Austin

 * On line 131 i saw “capture” => !$this->capture,
 * this could be messing with
 * $this->capture = strcmp($this->settings[‘debug’], ‘yes’) == 0;
 * defined in contructor

 * Just tried the plugin you mentioned – that one does correctly either Authorize
   only or Authorize and Capture based on the setting, but there is still no way
   to Capture the funds up front that I can see. Thanks for the tip though!

 * Hi sAustinPower

 * when the plugin is in authorize and capture mode it captures the payment and 
   charges the card fully no further action is needed
 * and when it is in authorize mode you can capture the charge till 7 day
 * If you explain a bit more then i might understand what you mean

 * Thanks for the follow up – I wanted to clarify here so that anyone who finds 
   this post can follow. I apparently wasn’t testing this correctly when I first
   installed the new plugin (Stripe WooCommerce Plugin, linked above) – it does 
   appear to Capture funds within Stripe right when the order is placed (which is
   what I want) rather than after I mark an order as Complete within WooCommerce(
   which is what was happening with the Striper plugin).

 * So which plugin did you go with in the end?
 * I have just started testing Striper and the transaction does not show up in my
   test dashboard until I mark an order completed in WooCommerce. This is for a 
   digital product.
 * I currently have “Enable Authorization & Capture” unchecked.

 * [@beefsupreme](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beefsupreme/) – [@webmicroz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webmicroz/)
   is correct, I am using this plugin: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/stripe-woocommerce-addon/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/stripe-woocommerce-addon/)
 * I still only have this setup in a test environment but all funds are captured
   at the time of purchase in my test Stripe account.
 * Inside of the plugin settings you will see this line:
 * Authorize Only Authorize Only Enable Authorize Only Mode (Authorize & Capture
   If Unchecked)
 * I currently have this NOT checked, which means it is in Authorize & Capture mode,
   which is correctly capturing funds at the time of purchase.

 * Cheers guys. I think I’ll take a look at the other plugin
