Capture
The plugin supports both auto and manual capture modes. Configure the capture mode in the Cards settings tab:

Refunds
To refund a WooCommerce order:
- Go to WooCommerce > Orders and select the order.
- Click Refund and enter the refund amount.
- Click Refund via Airwallex to process the refund.
