Failed captures

The card scheme, the bank, or the local payment method can reject and fail your capture request. The transaction will receive the CaptureFailed status when your capture request is rejected.

Note: You do not need to take any action. Adyen will try to fix the issue and re-capture the transaction. If the transaction is not re-captured within 10 days, contact our Support Team.

Check why your capture failed

  1. Log in to your Customer Area.
  2. Go to Transactions > Payments.
  3. Select the PSP Reference of your transaction.
  4. In Transaction Events, find the error message explaining why the capture failed.

Tip: Captures and refunds are treated in the same way by card schemes, so these failures apply equally to both.
