Please note that the validity of the initial transaction remains only valid as long as PayPal still confirms its validity - this can be checked in the developer's guide of PayPal. We suggest to finalize your settlements as soon as possible. Here's how to allow multiple settlements using a single PayPal transaction:

• Initialize a PayPal transaction using our init endpoint with the option createOrder = true within the object PAP. This allows you to use PayPal's Authorize and Capture Payments integration for the returned transactionId.
• Let your customer finalize the transaction with PayPal.
