In what scenario is multicapture typically used?

• A. A single product is purchased.
• B. A customer purchases multiple products and funds for each are captured as the items ship.
• C. Currency is converted during capture.
• D. A travel reservation is extended.

Answer: (B)

Multicapture is used when you want to collect funds in stages from a single authorization, typically for orders that ship in parts or have multiple fulfillment steps. The idea is you authorize the total amount up front, then capture portions of that amount as each item ships. This fits a scenario where a customer buys multiple products and you want to bill for each item when it ships. If everything ships at once, you’d simply capture the full amount in one go. Currency conversion during capture isn’t about splitting captures, and extending a travel reservation involves holding or extending authorization, not handling multiple captures for separate shipments.
