# Adds the ability to specify the capture method for card present payments with Payment Intents

## What’s new

Adds the ability to specify the [capture_method](https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_intents/object.md?api-version=2025-11-17.clover#payment_intent_object-payment_method_options-card_present-capture_method) in the [payment_method_options](https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_intents/object.md?api-version=2025-11-17.clover#payment_intent_object-payment_method_options-card_present-capture_method) for card present payments using [Payment Intents](https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_intents.md?api-version=2025-11-17.clover).

You can optionally set the capture method to one of these values:

- `manual` directs Stripe to place the funds on hold and explicitly capture the payment after authorization. For example, you might want to wait until the order is fulfilled before capturing funds.
- `manual_preferred` directs Stripe to prioritize `manual` capture, but use `automatic` behavior if appropriate based on the presented card’s supported network. This supports manual capturing when possible without declining when it’s not.

## Impact

You can now specify the behavior for capturing card present payments for Payment Intents. The `capture_method` controls when to capture the funds from the customer’s account.
