title: What's the difference between authorized vs captured in payment systems (razorpay)?
body: <p>I'm working with Razorpay in the test mode and safe to say, my app works fine and there are no bugs. But I can't quite wrap my head around what's the difference between the authorized state and the captured state. I've read the <a href="https://razorpay.com/docs/payments/payments/capture-settings/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">docs on the same</a>, but it still boggles me.

  <p>My <strong>confusion lies in what particularly happens in the captured state</strong>. Is it simply another word for completion? Or does it have something unique of its own? Also, isn't the authorization state enough to tell us that a transaction is legit and one can proceed, so right after authorization, couldn't we just move to completion? Or is the captured state used for some buffer time for the money to get sent across?</p>
