CIM transaction synchronous or asynchronous.

Dears,

      I am not sure about the CIM transactions' synchronous or asynchronous, the following ones are my understanding.

      synchronous means If I send a request to authorize.net, it will be done imediately.

      asynchronous means if I send a request to authorize.net, It will be added in a queue or something like that, and wil be done later.

      The following transaction types are synchronous:

           Authorize,

           Void,

           The authorize part of AuthorizeCapture,

       The following transaction types are asynchronous:

            Refund,

            The capture part of AuthorizeCapture,

            Capture

      Am I right for that?

You're confusing settlement with capture. Settlement is asynchronous, everything else is synchronous, including capture. Though voids of authorizations may not always release the funds immediately, depending on the bank, so that part may also effectively be asynchronous.

But there is no interface to do settlement thing, so when I captured, the system will do settlement auto in background, am I right?
