Should Ecommerce Stores Capture Payments Before or After Shipping?

A successful payment authorization doesn't always mean an order is ready to ship.
Consider a customer ordering three products. Two are available, but the third is out of stock. If the full payment has already been captured, the retailer may need to issue a partial refund. If payment is only authorized, the system needs to manage capture timing, authorization expiration, and potentially split shipments.
This becomes particularly complicated for enterprise retailers connecting payment gateways with inventory, ERP, and order management systems.
The key is making sure payment states and order states remain consistent.
Zoolatech covers these challenges in its guide to payment gateway integration, including authorization, capture, refunds, and backend reliability. Disclosure: I'm affiliated with Zoolatech.
How are other ecommerce teams handling partial captures and split shipments? Do you capture payments immediately or wait until fulfillment?
