# Capturing a payment

Once a Customer has submitted a proposal and authorized a payment, the [status of a job](/freelancer-marketplace/key-features/job-statuses.md) will be **awaiting confirmation**. At this point, the Freelancer will be able to accept a job in their Dashboard. When they click the 'Accept Job' button:

* The status of the job is changed to **in progress**
* The payment that was authorized by the Customer is captured

You'll note in your Stripe dashboard that before the payment is captured, it looks like this:

After the payment is captured, it changes to this:

This means the payment has been processed and the funds are in your platform and the Freelancer's Stripe account (the exact division depends on what platform fee you are taking).
