Could you let me know what you told Walker to change the xml so that it authorizes rather than captures?

Thanks!
Canzy - I did not give specific code changes at that time. "Authorize/Capture" model - although it can make a lot of sense, turns out to be not so easy to implement securely and safely. There would be significant changes to the module to accommodate it - and as I recall, others preferred not to start changing a stable, tested and working module.

Having said that - it is not inconceivable to create a separate authorize/capture module. Tying that, within Zen, to automatically go out a capture when you put a tracking number in from the order page would not be easy - as it would not fall within the typical payment processing functions of Zen. Way too much customization of core Zen files to accomplish that - and I have avoided any of that in the past. It would however not be difficult to make all transactions "authorize" only, then rely on the QBMS web interface to capture upon shipment.
