Supported actions

PayPal supports the following actions:

ActionDescription
PayStarts a PayPal payment.
RefundRefunds a successful PayPal payment.
PayRecurrentStarts a recurrent PayPal payment.
ExtraInfoAdds extra information, such as shipping address details, to a PayPal transaction.
AuthorizeReserves funds on the buyer's PayPal account without moving them. The authorization is valid for up to 29 days. The merchant can later capture the funds fully or partially, or void the authorization with CancelAuthorize.
CaptureMoves the funds of a previous Authorize transaction. Full captures, partial captures, and multiple captures are supported up to the originally authorized amount and within the 29-day authorization period.
CancelAuthorizeVoids the remaining uncaptured amount of an authorization and releases the reserved funds back to the buyer. It can also be used after a partial capture to release the remaining authorized amount. Once voided, the authorization can no longer be captured.

Note: Authorize, Capture and CancelAuthorize are supported on PayPal V2 only. Merchants on the legacy PayPal acquirer continue to use Pay, Refund and PayRecurrent as before; their integration is unaffected by this addition.
