Honor Period and Authorization Period
Your business may not be able to provide immediate fulfillment of a product or service. An
item, for example, may not be immediately available to ship because it is temporarily out of
stock. Under these circumstances, you can have the buyer approve of placing a 29-day hold or
authorization period on their balance for the amount of the authorization to ensure funds are
available for capture.
After a successful authorization, PayPal honors the authorized funds for a three-day honor
period. You can extend the honor period once with a Do Reauthorization or multiple times
with a Do Authorization.
Payment Transaction Types
During the Express Checkout flow, the following transaction types are supported:
 Sale (TRXTYPE=S)
 Authorization (TRXTYPE=A)
 Order (TRXTYPE=O)
