authorize Method

This method sends an Authorization transaction to PayPal.

Syntax

def authorize() -> None: ...

Remarks

There are two types of transactions, Sales and Authorizations. In a Sale, the transaction is automatically captured, and funds are automatically deposited into your PayPal account.

However, in the case of an authorization (using the on_authorize method), funds are not automatically captured. You must manually capture the funds with the capture method.
