Applying an authorized credit card payment to an orders API check

To apply an authorized credit card payment to a check in an orders API order, you include the payment UUID that you authorized as the payment GUID. The Toast platform applies the credit card payment to the check and attempts to capture the funds later in the business day.

Note	You must POST an order within five minutes of the credit card payment authorization. After five minutes, the credit card API automatically voids the payment.

The following example shows the JSON message body data that applies an authorized credit card payment to a check. Most contents of the order object have been omitted from this example. For more information about POSTing orders in the orders API, see Orders API overview.
