Payment Capture in ZC 2.1.0? How/where is it?

Zen Cart: 2.1.0
PHP Version: 8.3.15 (Zend: 4.3.15)
Database Engine: MySQL 10.5.27-MariaDB

I ran a couple of test orders, one for credit card and the other for PayPal,
every thing went fine. by default, all orders are authorization until goods are shipped.

Now i do not see a way to Capture the payment on the order page, i see "Voiding Order Authorizations" and "Order Refunds". Am I missing anything?

Perhaps you have your payment methods set to Authorize+Capture already? (vs. just Authorize?)

This documentation might clarify:
https://docs.zen-cart.com/user/payment/auth_only/

Thanks for the reply, i doubled check that before posting
This is the settings
Payment Action
Auth Only

This from the order in the Admin

Paypal also shows as pending.

Which PayPal are you using? (Built-in or RESTful?). Which variant (Express, Website Payments Pro? Standard?)

I am using built-in PayPal
Express and Website Payments Pro

This what i see.

I'm having the same problem. Was this ever resolved?
Thanks

Hi Carol,

Have you resolved this problem? It is getting annoying to capture payment from PayPal rather than doing it from the admin. Thanks.:frusty:

Does anyone else have this problem?
It seems it is something to do with settings since not many users are talking about, i searched and searched and could not find any help with this issue

we have the same issue. anyone have the solution?

For all of you having this issue, do you have both paypalwpp (PayPal Express Checkout) and paypaldp (PayPal Payments Pro) enabled?

I'm guessing both, since without paypaldp enabled I'd expect you to be getting PHP Fatal (or Warning) errors logged each time you view an order in the admin.

Let's give this a try. First, make a backup of your site's /includes/modules/payment/paypal/paypalwpp_admin_notification.php. Then find this section (starting at line 448 in the as-shipped zc210 version):

$authcapt_on = (isset($_GET['authcapt']) && $_GET['authcapt'] == 'on');

if (isset($response['RESPMSG']) /*|| defined('MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYFLOW_STATUS')*/) { // payflow
    $output .= $outputPFmain;
    if (method_exists($this, '_doVoid') && (MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPALDP_TRANSACTION_MODE == 'Auth Only' || (defined('MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYFLOW_TRANSACTION_MODE') && MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYFLOW_TRANSACTION_MODE == 'Auth Only') || $authcapt_on)) {
        $output .= $outputVoid;
    }
    if (method_exists($this, '_doCapt') && (MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPALDP_TRANSACTION_MODE == 'Auth Only' || (defined('MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYFLOW_TRANSACTION_MODE') && MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYFLOW_TRANSACTION_MODE == 'Auth Only') || $authcapt_on)) {
        $output .= $outputCapt;
    }
    if (method_exists($this, '_doRefund')) {
        $output .= $outputRefund;
    }
} else {  // PayPal
    $output .= $outputPayPal; // one table row, four cells, one table in each
    $output .= $outputEndBlock; // close first table

    if (defined('MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPALWPP_STATUS') || defined('MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPALDP_STATUS')) {
        $output .= $outputStartBlock; //start second table

        $transaction_type_authorization = (isset($response['TRANSACTION_TYPE']) && $response['TRANSACTION_TYPE'] == 'Authorization');
        $transactiontype_payment = (isset($response['TRANSACTION_TYPE']) && in_array($response['TRANSACTIONTYPE'], ['cart', 'expresscheckout', 'webaccept']));
        if ($transaction_type_authorization || ($transactiontype_payment && $response['PAYMENTTYPE'] == 'instant' && $response['PENDINGREASON'] == 'authorization') || $authcapt_on) {
            if (method_exists($this, '_doRefund') && ($response['PAYMENTTYPE'] != 'instant' || $module == 'paypaldp')) {
                $output .= $outputRefund;
            }
            if (MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPALWPP_TRANSACTION_MODE == 'Auth Only' || MODULE_PAYMENT_PAYPALDP_TRANSACTION_MODE == 'Auth Only') {

Hi Cindy,

I changed the code in the 4 locations in red and i placed a small test order using credit card and the result is the same but without the void option.

Thanks for giving that a shot; I'm back to the "drawing board".

Thanks for giving that a shot; I'm back to the "drawing board".
Let's start with the basics:

1. Which of the two payment modules (paypalwpp and paypaldp) are enabled?
2. For each enabled module, what is the setting for the "Transaction Mode" (Final Sale vs. Auth Only)?

I also noticed that i am getting a warning when i select the PayPal button when i check out.

for both of them

@TamyA gave me admin and FTP access (thanks!) and I've found the source of the issue.

I've submitted the correction to GitHub (https://github.com/zencart/zencart/pull/7146/files) for the issue that started in zc201. For a quick patch, see line 471 of /includes/modules/payment/paypal/paypalwpp_admin_notification.php:

        $transactiontype_payment = (isset($response['TRANSACTION_TYPE']) && in_array($response['TRANSACTIONTYPE'], ['cart', 'expresscheckout', 'webaccept']));

and change to

        $transactiontype_payment = (isset($response['[B]TRANSACTIONTYPE[/B]']) && in_array($response['TRANSACTIONTYPE'], ['cart', 'expresscheckout', 'webaccept']));

... essentially, losing that underscore in the field name.
