# Updating apps capturing transactions

Apps that omit the `authorization` or `parent_id` parameters when capturing transactions can potentially cause errors for merchants who also use an order editing app.

When creating transactions to capture an authorization, always include either the `authorization` or `parent_id` parameter to specify which authorization you'd like to capture. To capture payments successfully, apps must allow for multiple authorization transactions to avoid issues for merchants.
