Capture an authorised payment
Captures an authorised payment and returns a unique reference for this request. You get the outcome of the request asynchronously, in a CAPTURE webhook.
You can capture either the full authorised amount or a part of the authorised amount. By default, any unclaimed amount after a partial capture gets cancelled. This does not apply if you enabled multiple partial captures on your account and the payment method supports multiple partial captures.
Automatic capture is the default setting for most payment methods. In these cases, you don't need to make capture requests. However, making capture requests for payments that are captured automatically does not result in double charges.
For more information, refer to Capture.

Cancels the authorisation on a payment that has not yet been [captured](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/#/CheckoutService/latest/post/payments/{paymentPspReference}/captures), and returns a unique reference for this request. You get the outcome of the request asynchronously, in a [**CANCELLATION** webhook](https://docs.adyen.com/online-payments/cancel#cancellation-webhook). If you want to cancel a payment but don't have the [`pspReference`](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/Checkout/latest/post/payments#responses-200-pspReference), use the [`/cancels`](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/#/CheckoutService/latest/post/cancels) endpoint instead. If you want to cancel a payment but are not sure whether it has been captured, use the [`/payments/{paymentPspReference}/reversals`](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/#/CheckoutService/latest/post/payments/{paymentPspReference}/reversals) endpoint instead. For more information, refer to [Cancel](https://docs.adyen.com/online-payments/cancel).
Refund a captured payment POST
Refunds a payment that has been [captured](https://docs.adyen.com/api-explorer/#/CheckoutService/latest/post/payments/{paymentPspReference}/captures), and returns a unique reference for this request. You get the outcome of the request asynchronously, in a [**REFUND** webhook](https://docs.adyen.com/online-payments/refund#refund-webhook). You can refund either the full captured amount or a part of the captured amount. You can also perform multiple partial refunds, as long as their sum doesn't exceed the captured amount. > Some payment methods do not support partial refunds. To learn if a payment method supports partial refunds, refer to the payment method page such as [cards](https://docs.adyen.com/payment-methods/cards#supported-cards), [iDEAL](https://docs.adyen.com/payment-methods/ideal), or [Klarna](https://docs.adyen.com/payment-methods/klarna).
