Test payment is Autorized but it is not Paid

Payments + Shipping & Fulfilment

Topic summary

A developer encountered an issue while testing payments using Shopify’s Bogus test gateway. Orders were being marked as “authorized” rather than “paid” immediately after checkout, preventing refund testing.

Problem:

  • Test orders required manual payment capture in Shopify admin
  • Needed automatic “paid” status upon successful checkout

Resolution:

  • The issue was resolved by adjusting payment capture settings
  • The Bogus gateway had to be temporarily deactivated to access these settings
  • After configuration, payments now process correctly with immediate “paid” status

Hi

I am testing the payment with the help of Bogus test gateway. I am able to process test payment as end user. But for some reason the order is in status autorized and not paid. So i cannot test refund. For this I need to go into the shopify admin on the order. And then to ‘capture payment’. But I need it to be in status ‘paid’ as soon as the end user has enter card details and shopify said that the order has been accepted

Thank you
