Authorization & Capture API
DoReauthorization
DoReauthorization
To use DoReauthorization you must have previously authorized a transaction. You can
authorize a transaction in several ways:
–From the Merchant Services tab of your PayPal merchant account.
– With the DoExpressCheckoutPaymentRequest PaymentAction element set to
Authorization.
– With a shopping cart transaction (such as one that uses PayPal Website Payments) with
the paymentaction HTML variable set to authorization.
You can invoke DoReauthorizationRequest as many times as necessary to obtain one
successful reauthorization. When DoReauthorizationResponse returns success, the
settlement period restarts, you can capture funds, but you can no longer reauthorize.
NOTE: DoReauthorizationRequest is for use only with basic authorizations, not order
authorizations.
