Basic Authorization & Capture on the PayPal Website
Capturing Funds
22 June 2006 Authorization & Capture Integration Guide
FIGURE 2.2 Capturing Funds Via the Web
IMPORTANT:If you capture an amount different than the amount your buyer originally
authorized, PayPal recommends that you explain any unique circumstances in
the Note to Buyer field.
3. On the following page, verify that the information is correct and click Capture Funds. An
email notification will be sent to your buyer with the capture details.
You can also Capture Funds using the PayPal Web Services API. For instructions on how to do
this, refer to Chapter 3, “Authorization & Capture API.”
Partial Capture
If you complete a Partial Capture on an authorization, selecting the Yes radio button in the
Additional Capture Possible field keeps the uncaptured amount of the authorization in a
Pending status. The amount remaining on the authorization is available for capture as long as
the authorization period does not expire.
