PayPal Express Checkout - Auth Only

Hello,

I'm new. :)

I'm testing the PayPal Express Checkout in Payment Action Authorization only.

Can anyone tell me how the funds are captured? I can't see anywhere in the admin control panel and it doesn't seem like I can do it from my test Sandbox account?

I can't use Sale mode as the goods may not be delivered quickly.

Any help MUCH appreciated. I expect the refund and partial refund buttons work after funds have been captured. :smile:

After you've placed the order, go to your Zen Cart admin area, and open the order details.
You should have some transaction-handling options there including capture.

Many thanks for your response.

Hmm... below is all I can see. Am I blind or stupid? :P

Are you using v1.3.7 or v1.3.7.1 ?

"Your version of Zen Cart™ appears to be current."
Zen Cart 1.3.7.1

When the Payment Action in Express Checkout is set to Auth Only, the capture fields are supposed to show up underneath the gray PayPal details, similar to the refund section to the right of the details.

You can force it on by adding &authcapt=on to the URL on your order page. This would have to be done manually on every page you wish to do a capture.

The options should normally automatically appear if the transaction is eligible for capture. Sometimes the sandbox behaves erratically.

Great, Thanks for your help. I'm an experienced coder so I'll look and see what might be causing it.

I also do not see the section for doing a capture unless I manually append "&authcapt=on" to the url.

I'm not using sandbox.

I'm just wondering if it's normal as you mentioned capture fields are supposed to show up, but for me they don't.

I use ZC 1.3.7 and have applied all the patches.
