Handling Payment Review

92 April 2012 Express Checkout Advanced Features Guide
1. Check the payment status in the response to the API operation; specifically, check whether
PaymentStatus is set to Pending.
2. If the PaymentStatus is set to Pending, check whether the PendingReason is set to
PaymentReview, because there are other reasons that a transaction may become pending.
For example, an unsettled authorization’s PaymentStatus is set to Pending; however,
its PendingReason is set to authorization, which is not related to payment review.
If PaymentStatus is set to Pending and the PendingReason is set to PaymentReview,
you should not ship merchandise or, in the case of electronic media, you should not allow
download access.
Because the payment status changes after review, you must periodically check the payment
status using the GetTransactionDetails API operation.
The following diagram shows how to use the payment status to detect payments under review
by PayPal.
