This is a weakness in the current codebase. You *can* set the card modules to do "AUTH" only, and then it won't charge, just authorize. Do that in the payment module settings. However, there isn't any ability to capture the charge afterwards, you have to go into your payment gateway account and manually capture when you've shipped. The good news is that I'm working with a big client right now, and they are going to require this functionality for their workflow. So I expect that the functionality will finally be worked out quite soon - on the trunk only.
