Hello,
We are working on Sandbox account to integration with Paypal Express checkout. We are using Custom Order process and need to do multiple auth/settle for one order.
When I try to do second authorization for my custom order, I am getting error below. Can you help me what am I doing wrong?

Hi, in this case you can create one authorization only for the whole order amount (so that you will not create more authorizations).
Then you can call several DoCapture, when needed. It should work fine.
