2. Perform the Delayed Capture transaction.
Set ORIGID to the PNREF value returned in the original Authorization transaction response
string. (There is no need to retransmit the credit card or billing address information—it is
stored at PayPal.)
If the capture succeeds, the amount of the Capture is transferred to the merchant’s account
during the daily settlement process. If the capture does not succeed, the hold on the
cardholder’s open-to-buy is still in effect.
Example:Delayed Capture Transaction
TRXTYPE=D&TENDER=C&PWD=x1y2z3&PARTNER=PayPal&VENDOR=.SuperMerchant
&USER=SuperMerchant&ORIGID=VXYZ00887892
Example:Delayed Capture Response
RESULT=0&PNREF=VXYZ00895642&AUTHCODE=25TEST&AVSADDR=Y&AVSZIP=N
Delayed Capture Transaction: Capturing Transactions for Lower Amounts
You can perform a Delayed Capture transaction for an amount lower than the original
Authorization amount (useful, for example, when you make a partial shipment).
Delayed Capture Transaction: Capturing Transactions for Higher Amounts
You can perform a Delayed Capture transaction for an amount higher than the original
Authorization amount. The cardholder’s open-to-buy could be reduced by the sum of the
original Authorization-only amount and the final Delayed Capture amount.
Delayed Capture Transaction: Error Handling and Retransmittal
If an error occurs while processing a Delayed Capture transaction, it is safe to retry the capture
with values that allow the Payflow server to successfully process it. Conversely, if a capture
for a previous Authorization succeeds, subsequent attempts to capture it again will return an
error.
Submitting Account Verifications With TRXTYPE=A
Account Verification, also known as zero dollar Authorization (TRXTYPE=A), verifies credit
card information. While Account Verification and normal Authorization transactions are
submitted using TRXTYPE=A, Account Verification differs from Authorization in the following
ways:
z The AMT value is always 0. If any other amount is submitted, the transaction as a normal
Authorization that places a hold on the cardholder’s open-to-buy limit.
z Although the RESULT value returned is 0 (Approved), the RESPMSG value is Verified
instead of Approved.
