Multiple partial captures during a single authorization

[RR007]

I need to do multiple  partial captures during a single authorization period.

To do this documentation says I need to enable this feature on your PayPal account.

Does anyone know where this option is and how to do it ?

thanks

Hello RR007

I had a similar payment flow in the past and there is a post talking about this.

Thanks, my issue is on the initial authorization ( with in 3 days), I can partial capture a payment. Then again with that 3 day period I need to partial capture a second payment again  using the initial authorization. 

Is this possible ? if so how ?

I need to do multiple  partial captures during a FIRST single authorization ( withib 1-3 days)

Hello RR007

https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/#orders_authorize

You have to use /v2/checkout/orders/{id}/authorize to authorize the order first.

Remember that you are only allowed having one purchasing unit in your order.

After authorizing the order, in the response (or you call API to get order info again), you will find that there is an authorization object under the purchase_unit.

Then, please following the following API documentation to partially capture payment

https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/payments/v2/#authorizations_capture

The request body should be something like this

{
    "amount": {
        "currency_code": 'HKD',
         "value": 'partial amount'
    },
    "final_capture": false
}

I can take the first partial payment but after that I cant take any more partial payments

1) I authrise the order first - its working

2) Using the authorisation response, I send a partial capture ( Final Capture = false) - Its working

3) But If I try to capture again ( within the 1-3 days) without reauthorisation, only using the first authorisation, - Its not working 

Eg : Paypal order = $100 - working

Authorisation - working

1st Partial capture =$10  - working

2nd Partial capture =$5 - not working ( getting a success full response but money is not deducted from the payee and added to the business account)

Multiple partial captures not working. Is this supported on paypal ?

[RR007]

any body had this issue ?

Facing the same problem here. Please let me know if you have found a solution for this or if multiple partial captures is just not possible.
