## Overview
When a customer completes a checkout with Affirm as the payment method, Affirm authorizes a charge for the amount of the order. The charge enters a pending state on the customer's Affirm account. Authorized charges expire if you do not capture them before the capture deadline, which is a period specified in your partnership agreement with Affirm. If you did not define your authorization timing requirements because of inventory, pre-orders, or shipping time in your onboarding form, please contact your Client Success Manager.
After Affirm authorizes a charge, you can perform the following actions on it in Salesforce Commerce Cloud:
[Capture](🔗)
[Void](🔗)
[Refund](🔗)
## Capture
Capturing a charge does the following:
Charges the authorized amount to the customer's Affirm account
Begins the customer's billing cycle
Triggers the transfer process of funds from Affirm to the merchant
Merchants typically capture a charge after fulfilling the order. We recommend auto-capturing if you usually fulfill orders within 5 business days so that the customer receives their purchase before their first bill.
1\. On the main page, go to **Business Manager > Merchant Tools > Ordering > Orders**. 2\. Click on the order. 3\. Set **Shipping Status** to **Shipped**.
A manually run or periodically running job will capture the charge.
## Void & Refund
If you haven't captured a charge yet, you can cancel its authorization by voiding it. If you've already captured a charge, you can reverse it and refund the amount to the customer's Affirm account. Voiding or refunding a charge is irreversible and Affirm is unable to reinstate those funds.
On the main page, go to **Business Manager > Merchant Tools > Ordering > Orders**
Click on the order
Set Order **Status** to **Canceled**
A batch job based on the Affirm Status of the order before cancelation will refund or void the charge.
## Set up recurring jobs
SFCC performs the above actions based on either manual or recurring jobs.
To create recurring jobs:
1\. [Configure Affirm services and jobs](🔗) 2\. In the **Business Manager **main page, go to **Administration > Operations > Schedules (deprecated)** 3\. Click on the order management function (job)
4\. Click **Recurring Interval** 5\. Enter your timing preferences 6\. Click **Run**
## View processed transactions
Go to **Business Manager > Merchant Tools > Ordering** to view all processed orders. For orders bought with Affirm as the payment method:
**Attributes tab**
The Attributes tab contains the Affirm payment details
**Payments tab**
Order Payment shows as _Not paid_ (pre-capture)
If you configure auto-capture, _Payment_ shows as _Paid_
