MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPALWPP_TRANSACTION_MODE = "order"

[geeker]

I am trying to set up a zen cart site using $options['PAYMENTACTION'] = "order" I did not see any setting in the admin to set this so I went into the payment module to see if I could hard code it.

I noticed that there is a place in the code that does set this value to "order" but I am not sure where in the admin I would set the transaction mode. I have express checkout installed. The code I found was in paypalwpp.php on line 1437:

if (MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPALWPP_TRANSACTION_MODE == 'Order') $options['PAYMENTACTION'] = 'Order';

I know I can hard code this but ideally I would like to do this the right way. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

May I ask "why"?

I'm using zen cart to replace an older site. The current site uses "order" for paypal transactions.

The reason for this is they only get a paypal authorization when an order is placed later they bill through the warehouse fulfillment system when an order ships using the authorization ID from the initial paypal transaction...in the case it is a partial order only part of the order is billed. From reading the paypal site it seems this is the purpose of using "order".

In your admin if you simply switch to "Auth Only" instead of "Final Sale", it will send "authorization" as the action, which allows for subsequent capture activities after-the-fact. Both "Authorization" and "Order" allow for capture later.

Thanks! I'll give that a try.
