What is the differnece between the "authorized" status and the "captured" status?

An authorized status means the cardholder’s bank has approved the transaction and verified that sufficient funds or credit are available. At this stage, the funds are placed on hold, but the customer has not yet been charged and the transaction is not complete. A captured status means the transaction has been finalized. The funds are withdrawn from the cardholder’s account, processed , and transferred to the merchant, changing the transaction from pending to complete.
