 * Does this plugin have the capability where the payments are only initially authorized
   to automatically capture payment when the order gets to a certain status i.e.
   processing or completed? I know this is offered in Stripe and will be in PayPal
   Standard in WC 2.7.

 * Hi [@fergusga1815](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fergusga1815/),
 * Currently the plugin does not support automatic transaction capture based on 
   status. However, you can enable the plugin to only authorize a payment and then
   via your admin order page within WordPress you can capture the authorized amount.
 * Kind Regards,
    Clayton

 * Thanks but ideally looking to automate the workflow of capturing based on order
   status in the same way that Stripe offers as this makes my whole process automated.
 * Is this on the road map at all?

 * We have discussed this and are considering offering it in a later release sometime
   before the holiday season.

 * [@fergusga1815](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fergusga1815/), for clarification
   are you referring to the use of webhooks to automatically update your orders 
   when the transaction goes from submitted for settlement to settled?
 * Or are you referring to the amount being captured when you set the order status
   to complete?
 * Please be specific as possible as I am not familiar with how Stripe automates
   their process.

 * In Stripe (and in PayPal Standard in the upcoming 2.7 release) they have the 
   functionality to automatically capture the amount when the order status is set
   to complete.

 * Hi [@fergusga1815](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fergusga1815/),
 * It sounds as if you still have to manually set the order status to complete though
   no?
 * If not then what is triggering the order status going to complete?
