Immediate capture is useful to avoid chargebacks from fraudulent payments.

  1. Direct Capture: Payment is taken right away.

  2. Authorize: Payment is pre-approved and reserved on the customer’s card, allowing you to complete the charge later.

Authorization capture delay days

Set how many days after authorization the payment should be captured (applies if using Authorize mode).

Enable partial payments for clients

Allow clients to pay invoices in parts, not just in full.

Statement description

Set a description to appear on client statements (if supported by the payment processor).

Force card storage

Store card details securely for future use, if supported by the gateway.

Delete card only if replacement

Only remove a stored card if a new one is added and the account has active services.

Force auto payment for stored details

Automatically charge invoices using stored payment details.

Enable payment details store for shared invoices

Show Save payment details and Allow auto payment options for shared invoices.
