E-Commerce API : Charge with Capture not capturing

We are doing this on CloverAPI testing Sandbox to eliminate our app as source of bugs.

Our intent to to create a charge that is a SALE. So during Create Charge call, we set capture=true.

The return value of create charge shows captured=true. But Get a charge does not show captured = true.

Can you please advice if this is a bug.

"capture": true,
"externalReferenceId": "PR0077000431",

}

We don't currently support immediate capture. The charge will be captured when you run closeout.

What does it mean when API returns captured = true at create charge?

Perhaps a clarification in Docs would be good for consistency.

It means that the capture flag has been set. That means that the charge will be automatically captured at closeout.

To summarize,

capture = false means its a manual capture. The authorization will not be settled until a capture api is called by our application.

capture = true means its an auto capture. The authorization will be settled as part of the current batch.

Is this correct?
