## Payment Actions <a href="#payment-actions" id="payment-actions"></a>

Payment actions are handled through your regional portal (Verifone Central) or the API.&#x20;

* [Capturing authorizations](/online-payments/payment-actions/capturing-an-authorization.md)
* [Canceling captures](/online-payments/payment-actions/void.md)
* [Refunding transactions](/online-payments/payment-actions/refunds.md)

Thus, you (the merchant) can integrate your backend systems with the Verifone API.

When you handle payment actions via Verifone Central, you do not need to have an additional integration endpoint.

Depending on your region and your integration method you can select the corresponding environments from [Sandbox and Production URLs](/online-payments/api-integration-methods-auth-and-endpoints.md#sandbox-and-production-urls) to perform payment actions.
