3. When should AutoCapture be requested to be ticked by default?
   Autocapture can be ticked by default when majority of the orders can be fully captured at the time of the order creation. This way, Partner Hub users would no longer have to tick the tickbox for majority of the orders. They will just have to make sure to untick it for orders that do not require auto-capture (which should have less occurrence than the transactions that will be auto-captured).

   Capture (also known as settlements) - When a Merchant is configured for deferred settlement, an authorisation must be followed with a capture request for the funds to be settled.

   Void (also known as merchant reversal) is the process to cancel an order before it is captured/settled. Amount voided is credited back instantly to the customer account as soon as void request is successfully completed. Refund is the process when a captured/settled goods is returned. Amount refunded takes about 3-5 days before it is credited back to the customer account.
