Multiple partial settlements using a single PayPal transaction

To allow multiple settlements and separate the authorization of specific items with PayPal using the same transactionId, we allow you to use PayPal's Authorize and Capture Payments integration. 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 finalizing 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 the integration of PayPal's Authorize and Capture Payments for the returned transactionId.
• Let your customer finalize the transaction with PayPal.
• Create a new transaction using our authorize endpoint and specify the initial transactionId in orderTransactionId within the object PAP.
• If required, repeat the previous step until you have reached the initial transaction amount.
