PayPal RESTful API Payment Module

Thank you. This is a regular occurence for us. The customer wants to add something to their order, so we have likely already captured the original amount (in this case, $346.83) and we just want to add (Re-authorize) an additional $15 for the item being added to the order.

The ability to re-authorize depends on whether/not the previous capture was indicated as the final one. Note also that the 'additional' $15.00 is actually an increase in the amount authorized -- in the case you identified, you'd re-auth for $361.83.

Thanks for that clarification of how the re-auth works. This is different than how the authorize.net re-auth works - for that one, you only enter the additional amount.

We're going to give up on this. Even with the paypay re-auth, it cannot occur until 72 hours have passed, which kills the effectiveness for the customer calling in with a "change my order quantity from 4 to 5" type of adjustment, as the soonest we could process the additional amount is 3 days later, when otherwise the order might ship today. And paypal re-auth also mentions a 15% limit and a $75 ceiling. Just won't help like the authorize.net re-auth does.

That could be why no one responded to the initial post - it is too impractical for anyone to benefit from.

Thanks Lat9 for your time and knowledge.
