Regarding invoices, can anyone explain the difference between the online amount capture and offline amount capture.

I really don't understand the difference between these two options.

Capture Offline will simple generate the invoice and mark the order as processing, which means the amount has been received manually. works for money orders kind of payment methods.

Capture online will connect with the gateways to capture the amount. like when you charge credit cards using any gateway.

  • well if invoices are already created and order is marked as processing, then you won't be able to create another invoice.

  • if your payment method auto generates the invoices, but you receive money after order placement, you should disable the auto invoicing, and once you receive money you can generate the invoice manually, and select Capture offline.

  • My method of payment does not automatically generate invoices so no matter if I chose capture online or offline?
