Send these fields in the authorize request, in addition to the standard authorize fields. Required fields must be present for the payment to succeed. Payrails sends Optional fields to the PSP when you include them.

Field	Status	Description

How dLocal handles Capitec Pay

dLocal returns a redirect URL to its hosted payment page. The payment stays pending until the customer approves it, and Payrails completes it from the dLocal notification.
Payrails captures Capitec Pay payments through dLocal immediately, so a successful payment is final. To return funds, refund the payment.
Each Capitec Pay payment is a new customer-initiated payment.
