Why do I need to Capture an order?

Capturing orders is important for both you and your customers.

  • When you capture an order, the payout process is initiated: Capturing an order initiates the payout process from Kustom to your account.

  • Your customers' payment plans begin when you capture an order: For invoice and instalment orders, capturing starts the dunning process.

  • What happens if I don’t capture an order: Uncaptured orders will not be paid to your account, and will eventually expire.
