# Payment Not Captured

> The payment has not been captured

## Cause

The payment authorization has not been captured yet, so capture-dependent actions cannot proceed.

## Fix

Wait until capture succeeds, or capture the authorization when the appointment is ready, then retry.

## Retry safety

Not retryable until the underlying state or request changes.

## Raised by

These operations can return this problem:

* [Refund an appointment payment](/api-reference/appointments/refund-an-appointment-payment)

## Example

```json theme={null}
{
  "type": "https://docs.guile.app/problems/paymentNotCaptured",
  "title": "Payment Not Captured",
  "status": 409,
  "detail": "The payment has not been captured, so the API refuses the request."
}
