# Capture payment automatically

 * Hi,
 * Upon updating the plugin recently, we noticed that the Amazon payments are not
   captured automatically, but rather “authorized”. The status of Amazon pay orders
   would be “on hold” instead of “processing” and we have to go into the order and
   capture the payments manually, which changes the status to processing.
 * Is there anyway to capture the payments automatically like other payment gateways(
   PayPal, stripe, etc). It was fine before the update.
 * Thanks!

 * Also just to add to the info – our current setting is that “authorize and capture
   payment when order is placed”, which hasn’t changed since we started using the
   plugin. Unfortunately it only authorizes and does not capture automatically anymore.

 * Hey [@xiaobijou](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xiaobijou/),
 * Hope you are doing well!
 * is this happening with all the transactions?
 * try to check the following link [conflict test](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/how-to-test-for-conflicts/)
   on a Staging site, could be some plugin or even the Theme you are using. We need
   to isolate the problem first.

 * Hi [@christian1983](https://wordpress.org/support/users/christian1983/),
 * We have had the same problem since June 17. Before that, all transactions worked
   without any problems. We also had not made any updates or system changes. It 
   was suddenly there. It does not affect all transactions, but most of them. Is
   there any more info on the case yet.
 * With best thanks and greetings from Berlin

 * Hi [@christian1983](https://wordpress.org/support/users/christian1983/),
    We 
   have the same problem, too. I am not sure when it started but it might be around
   three weeks ago with the latest update. The problem seems to be two-sided. Customers
   also get to see some sort of error message which they say roughly reads like 
   this: “Something went wrong in the payment process. Please try again.”
 * From our end we can see the order but the payment is not captured automatically.
   I can capture it manually, though, by clicking on capture payment in each order.
 * Payment capture in the settings is set to: “Authorize and capture the payment
   when the order is placed.”
 * It worked fine before for a long time.

 * Hey there,
 * Since we haven’t heard back from the OP in a while, I’m going to mark this as
   resolved – if you have any further questions, you can start a new thread.
