PayPal RESTful API Payment Module

[lat9]

Just verifying that the payment module (paypalr) creates two entries in the paypal database table upon order creation, one with a txn_type of CREATE and another that depends on whether the transaction was treated as a Final Sale (CAPTURE) or Authorize-Only (AUTHORIZE).

That is correct. Why two entries though? Almost look like a duplicate order.

Because the payment module logs each transaction with PayPal.

Note, too, that there is a customer-visible order_status_history record that identifies the PayPal transaction id ... it's just not sent as part of that initial email.

Hello there,
Nothing wrong with module I Think, but just wanted advice really. Instinct say to void / cancel the order.

Got this message for first time ever via Paypal Checkout, the order with same card ending has gone through:-

A credit-card payment was attempted with a fraudulent card from IP address

It is to USA and postage is about £12 tracked for a £2.75 item. Which to me seems a little odd anyway. Though perhaps they are testing the water.

That email is sent by the payment module if PayPal reports that the card is fraudulent; an email is also sent if PayPal reports the card as stolen.

It's probably safer for you to void/cancel the order since it appears that the 'customer' is testing stolen cards.

Thanks for that. Yes kind of obvious I know, but as it was first time I saw it, wanted to double check. Will cancel it, cheaper than a possible chargeback for sure. Nice feature also!
