How to recover from expired PayPal authorization?

[ivordurham]

We have the PayPal module configured for Authorization/Manual capture. When the items in an order are backordered and not re-stocked within the time the PayPal authorization expires, the ultimate attempt to capture the funds when the orider is shipped is rejected by PayPal.

 

For the orders with this problem, the "Get the Money" button is no longer available. Is there a way to get PrestaShop to re-authorize with PayPal and get paid?

 

I don't see anything obvious in paypal.php for re-authorizing on failure. We are (still) using version 1.4.4. The paypal_order table entries for these problem orders contains:

 

id_order = (the order #)

id_transaction = (blank)

payment_method = 0

payment_status = (blank)

capture = 0

 

Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thank you.
