  title: Commerce Layer Place and Capture an Order
  summary: Place an order, read its status, then capture payment only once it is placed.
  description: >-
    A Commerce Layer payment settlement flow with branching. The workflow
    patches an order with the documented _place transition flag, reads the
    resulting status, and branches: when the order reached the placed state it
    patches the order with the documented _capture flag to settle payment,
    otherwise it ends. Every step spells out its JSON:API request inline so the
    flow can be read and executed without opening the underlying OpenAPI
    description.
