Note: Recommended approach is to separate authorization and capture as detailed here: [separate-auth-and-capture](https://docs.sg.latitudepay.com/separate-auth-and-capture). Don't be lazy! follow the recommended approach of separate auth and capture.

However, just-in-case, some scenarios might require to place a hold on card (authorise) and capture funds at the same time. you can do so in the /charge/create api by passing is\_capture="true" 

**Api: [/charge/create/{checkout\_token}/](https://docs.sg.latitudepay.com/apis)**

```javascript
{
  "bill_total_amount": 0,
  "bill_currency": "string",
  "bill_tax_amount": 0,
  "is_capture": true
}

```



## 2. Capture the funds 

Calling /charge/capture api is no longer required as the funds are already captured during charge creation.



:::hint{type="success"}
## Recommended approach 

Use separate auth and capture as cancellation of charge if your customer cancels your order does not levy you any fee!
