schnappi Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 What is the difference between these two options for payment type in the PayPal module?:Direct (sales)or Authorization / Manual Capture (Payment shipping) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomerg3 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Direct charges the card right away.Authorization gets an approval for the charge, but lets you process (capture) the charge later, and change the amount (in case an item was out of stock).

You cannot use process though without API credentials, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandonc503 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Hi.. so I have a site that sells expensive art.. client wants to be able to edit the price before it goes thru.. so customer says theyll pay $1000, then my client wants to add shipping cost to it, say $20. then have it go thru.. is this what the manual authorization will allow? if so will the customer have to accept the $1020 ?

orotoi Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 have been some time so you ll have figured it out probably.. but anyway i dont think you can charge more than it has been authorized.. If you want to charge more it would need a different transaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
