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.
