# OXID 7: Set up payment options

<Callout icon="❗️" theme="error">
  At the moment, Split Authorization and Capture (Merchant Capture) is only supported by [Credit Cards](https://docs.mollie.com/docs/cards) with [Payments API](https://docs.mollie.com/reference/payments-api).
</Callout>

## What is Split Authorization and Capture (Merchant Capture)

For *card payments*, you can pre-authorize a card to **reserve funds** before you capture and process the payment at a later time, however, you have to capture the funds **before the authorization expires**.<br />You can view the expiry date for an authorized payment on the **Payment Details** page.

Once the authorization expires, the reserved funds are **released** and the payment is assigned an **Expired** status (you can not capture the funds after a payment expires).

## What you need to know in advance

* At the moment, we need to activate Split Authorization and Capture for your Mollie account on our side. Please contact Mollie Support <support@mollie.com> to enable it.
* You can only create **one capture per payment**.
* If you capture less than the authorized amount, the **remaining amount is released**.
* The default capture mode in OXID is `Automatically capture credit card amounts`. You need to **change the capture mode** **manually** if you want to use the Split Authorization and Capture.

## Configuration

To use Split Authorization and Capture, you need to activate the payment type *Credit Card* in your OXID shop's backend with the following options:
