# Capture a Payment When Authorization Expires

When you create a card payment, you may want the option to complete a payment that is not captured yet when its expiration date occurs.

Relevant where the payment method category is **card**.

Prerequisites

- Run the [Get Payment Method Required Fields](https://docs.rapyd.net/en/get-payment-method-required-fields.md "Get Payment Method Required Fields") request and verify that it includes the `payment_method_options.expiration_action` parameter.
- Payment must be in the **ACT** (active) status.

### How

Set the `payment_method_options.expiration_action` parameter to the value **capture** (Default value is **cancel**).

- For example:

  - - Request

      - ```json
        curl -X post 'https://sandboxapi.rapyd.net/v1/payments/' \
        -H 'access_key: your-access-key-here' \
        -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
        -H 'idempotency: your-idempotency-parameter-here' \
        -H 'salt: your-random-string-here' \
        -H 'signature: your-calculated-signature-here' \
        -H 'timestamp: your-unix-timestamp-here' \
        --data-raw '{
