    string

    The preferred server response upon successful completion of the request. Value is:

    Default: return=minimal.

  • Authorization

    string

    The intent to either capture payment immediately or authorize a payment for an order after order creation. The allowed values are:
    • CAPTURE. The merchant intends to capture payment immediately after the customer makes a payment.
    • AUTHORIZE. The merchant intends to authorize a payment and place funds on hold after the customer makes a payment. Authorized payments are guaranteed for up to three days but are available to capture for up to 29 days. After the three-day honor period, the original authorized payment expires and you must re-authorize the payment. You must make a separate request to capture payments on demand. This intent is not supported when you have more than one `purchase_unit` within your order.
  • payer

    object

    The customer who approves and pays for the order. The customer is also known as the payer.
  • purchase_units

    array (contains the purchase_unit_request object)

Sample Request

Once redirected, the API caller has 72 hours for the payer to approve the order and either authorize or capture the order. If you are not using PayPal's Payment SDK (JS) (e.g. https://developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/integrate/#4-set-up-the-transaction) to initiate the PayPal Checkout Experience (in context) ensure that you include application_context.return_url is specified or you will get "We're sorry, Things don't appear to be working at the moment" after the payer approves the payment.

Update order

PATCH /v2/checkout/orders/{id}
Updates an order with the CREATED or APPROVED status.
You cannot update an order with the COMPLETED status.
To make an update, you must provide a reference_id.
If you omit a reference_id for an order with one purchase unit, PayPal defaults to a reference_id of default, which enables you to use a path:
"path": "/purchase_units/@reference_id=='default'/{attribute-or-object}"
.
You can patch these attributes and objects to complete these operations:
  • intent — replace.
  • purchase_units — replace, add.
  • purchase_units[].custom_id — replace, add, remove.
  • purchase_units[].description — replace, add, remove.
  • purchase_units[].payee.email — replace.
  • purchase_units[].shipping.name — replace, add.
  • purchase_units[].shipping.address — replace, add.
  • purchase_units[].soft_descriptor — replace, remove.
  • purchase_units[].amount — replace.
  • purchase_units[].invoice_id — replace, add, remove.
  • purchase_units[].payment_instruction — replace.
  • purchase_units[].payment_instruction.disbursement_mode — replace.
    Note: By default, disbursement_mode is INSTANT.
  • purchase_units[].payment_instruction.platform_fees — replace, add, remove.

Response

A successful response to a non-idempotent request returns the HTTP 201 Created status code with a JSON response body that shows captured payment details. If a duplicate response is retried, returns the HTTP 200 OK status code. By default, the response is minimal.

  • payment_source

    object

    • AUTHORIZE. The merchant intends to authorize a payment and place funds on hold after the customer makes a payment. Authorized payments are guaranteed for up to three days but are available to capture for up to 29 days. After the three-day honor period, the original authorized payment expires and you must re-authorize the payment. You must make a separate request to capture payments on demand. This intent is not supported when you have more than one `purchase_unit` within your order.
  • payer

    object

    The customer who approves and pays for the order. The customer is also known as the payer.

    Read only.

    Minimum length: 1.

    Maximum length: 255.

    Pattern: ^[0-9A-Z_]+$.

  • links

    array (contains the link_description object)

    An array of request-related HATEOAS links. To complete payer approval, use the approve link to redirect the payer. The API caller has 3 hours (default setting, this which can be changed by your account manager to 24/48/72 hours to accommodate your use case) from the time the order is created, to redirect your payer. Once redirected, the API caller has 72 hours for the payer to approve the order and either authorize or capture the order. If you are not using PayPal's Payment SDK (JS) (e.g. https://developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/integrate/#4-set-up-the-transaction) to initiate the PayPal Checkout Experience (in context) ensure that you include application_context.return_url is specified or you will get "We're sorry, Things don't appear to be working at the moment" after the payer approves the payment.

    Read only.

      • The target location is an object parameter that does exist. Replaces that parameter's value.
      The value parameter defines the value to add. For more information, see 4.1. add.
    • remove. Removes the value at the target location. For the operation to succeed, the target location must exist. For more information, see 4.2. remove.
    • replace. Replaces the value at the target location with a new value. The operation object must contain a value parameter that defines the replacement value. For the operation to succeed, the target location must exist. For more information, see 4.3. replace.

For the operation to succeed, the from location must exist. For more information, see 4.4. move.
    • copy. Copies the value at a specified location to the target location.

The operation object must contain a value parameter that defines the value to compare to the target location's value. For the operation to succeed, the target location must be equal to the value value. For test, equal indicates that the value at the target location and the value that value defines are of the same JSON type. The data type of the value determines how equality is defined:
      TypeConsidered equal if both values
      stringsContain the same number of Unicode characters and their code points are byte-by-byte equal.
      numbersAre numerically equal.
      arraysContain the same number of values, and each value is equal to the value at the corresponding position in the other array, by using these type-specific rules.
      objectsContain the same number of parameters, and each parameter is equal to a parameter in the other object, by comparing their keys (as strings) and their values (by using these type-specific rules).
      literals (false, true, and null)Are the same. The comparison is a logical comparison. For example, whitespace between the parameter values of an array is not significant. Also, ordering of the serialization of object parameters is not significant.
      For more information, see 4.6. test.
