# Set up manual capture

Capture agentic payments manually instead of immediately after purchase.

By default, we capture payments immediately after purchase. To use manual capture, open the [Agentic commerce settings](https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/agentic-commerce) page in the Dashboard and set capture mode to manual. When you enable manual capture, call the `capture` method on the `PaymentIntent`:

```curl
curl -X POST https://api.stripe.com/v1/payment_intents/{{PAYMENTINTENT_ID}}/capture \
  -u "<<YOUR_SECRET_KEY>>:"
```
