# Authorize Payment
In [get it started](/payum/symfony/get-it-started.md) we showed you an example of how to capture the payment. It is not always the case, sometimes you want to just authorize it and capture a bit later.
### Prepare payment
We have to caThe only difference from capture one example
```php
get('payum')->getStorage('Acme\PaymentBundle\Entity\Payment');
$payment = $storage->create();
$payment->setNumber(uniqid());
$payment->setCurrencyCode('EUR');
$payment->setTotalAmount(123); // 1.23 EUR
$payment->setDescription('A description');
$payment->setClientId('anId');
$payment->setClientEmail('foo@example.com');
$storage->update($payment);
/** @var TokenInterface $captureToken */
$captureToken = $this->get('payum')->getTokenFactory()->createAuthorizeToken(
$gatewayName,
$payment,
'done' // the route to redirect after autorize;
);
return $this->redirect($captureToken->getTargetUrl());
}
}
```
