        6. Click Advanced Settings. Set the Auth Type. 
  • Auth-capture - will authorize the Credit Card of your customer and if it's good, it will capture the funds. 
  • Auth-only - will only authorize the Credit Card. The funds would need to be captured later on the order. Consumers who choose this authentication option won't get charged until their order is shipped.
