(Go) PayPal - Find Captures

Finds captures for previous authorizations. (A capture is when the funds from an authorization are captured. There can be more than one capture, where the sum adds to the full authorization amount or an amount lower than the authorized amount.)

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.65 or greater.
