Shopify offers extended authorization periods to merchants on the Shopify Plus plan that use Shopify Payments. See this Shopify article to learn more. This allows authorized charges to stay on a shopper's credit card for up to 30 days for Visa, Mastercard and AmEx purchases without any need to re-authorize.
Starting October 21, 2020, if you manually capture a payment after the standard seven day period, then a 1.75% Shopify Payments charge will apply to the transaction in addition to standard credit card fees.
