API Calls & Payment Flows

The Clearpay v2 API offers merchants a choice of two different payment flows. The v1 API uses the Direct Capture flow.

📘

Customers repayment commences once the order has been confirmed.

• For Immediate Capture repayment commences on Capture.
• For Deferred Payment repayment commences on Auth.

1. Direct Capture (Immediate Payment Flow)

This flow allows merchants to capture the full payment amount at the time of order.

All platforms support the Direct Capture payment flow

2. Auth and Capture (Deferred Payment Flow)

This flow allows merchants to capture incremental amounts as items are shipped. Clearpay will settle funds when payments are captured by the merchant. If it is later determined that one or more shipments cannot be fulfilled, the un-captured remainder of the payment auth can be voided. This is similar to the Auth and Capture process of an order paid with a credit card.
