Syntax

ReAuthCapture

Remarks

The ReAuthCapture class consists of three basic functions which may be performed on transactions previously authorized with either the DirectPayment or ExpressCheckout classs.

All of these methods require a previously authorized transaction. You can authorize a transaction in several ways:

• From the Merchant Tools tab of your PayPal merchant account.
• With the CheckoutPayment method of the ExpressCheckout class, with the request's PaymentAction set to Authorization.
• With the Authorize method of the DirectPayment class.
• With a shopping cart transaction (such as one that uses PayPal Website Payments) with the paymentaction HTML variable set to authorization.

You must have a PayPal account set up with API access to use this class Once that is accomplished you may void, capture, or re-authorize transactions.

First set the User to your API name, and Password to the password for that API. Set the Signature property to the API signature you received from PayPal. Then you may set the transaction properties, such as OrderTotal, CardNumber, CardExpMonth, CardExpYear, etc. Then call either Sale or Authorize. The Ack property will indicate the success or failure of the transaction.

To use these methods in this class, you must save the transaction Id from the original transaction, and pass it into the AuthorizationId parameter of any of these methods. For example:

  ReAuthCapture1.VoidTransaction("64J61164793525252")
  MsgBox(ReAuthCapture1.Ack)

Or

  ReAuthCapture1.Capture("64J61164793525252", "12.88")
  MsgBox(ReAuthCapture1.Ack)

Or

  ReAuthCapture1.ReAuthorize("64J61164793525252", "16.88")
  MsgBox(ReAuthCapture1.Ack)

Note that these operations may ONLY be performed on a previously Authorized transaction. A Sale transaction cannot be voided, captured, or re-authorized.
