Reauthorize authorized payment

post/v2/payments/authorizations/{authorization_id}/reauthorize

Reauthorizes an authorized PayPal account payment, by ID. To ensure that funds are still available, reauthorize a payment after its initial three-day honor period expires. Within the 29-day authorization period, you can issue multiple re-authorizations after the honor period expires.

If 30 days have transpired since the date of the original authorization, you must create an authorized payment instead of reauthorizing the original authorized payment.

A reauthorized payment itself has a new honor period of three days.

You can reauthorize an authorized payment from 4 to 29 days after the 3-day honor period. The allowed amount depends on context and geography, for example in US it is up to 115% of the original authorized amount, not to exceed an increase of $75 USD.

Supports only the amount request parameter.

Note: This request is currently not supported for Partner use cases.

method
string [ 1 .. 255 ] characters ^[0-9A-Z_]+$
Default: "SCA_WHEN_REQUIRED"

The method used for card verification.

Enum: Description
SCA_ALWAYS

Selecting this option will attempt to force a strong customer authentication for the authorization/transaction. In countries where SCA has been defined and implemented it will result in a contingency and HATEOAS link being returned. The API caller should redirect the payer to that link so that they can authenticate themselves against their issuing bank or other entity. As noted, the HATEOAS link is only available in all regions where strong authentication is supported, (e.g. in European countries where 3DS is live). Merchants can use this setting as an additional layer of security if they choose to. In all cases, when an authorization is requested the AVS/CVV results will be returned in the response.

SCA_WHEN_REQUIRED

This is the default. When an authorization or transaction is attempted this option will return a contingency and HATEOAS link only when local regulations require strong customer authentication, (e.g. 3DS in countries and use cases where it is mandated). The API caller should redirect the payer to the link so that they can authenticate themselves. In all cases, when an authorization is requested the AVS/CVV results will be returned in the response.

3D_SECURE

The contingency surfaced as an additional security layer that helps prevent unauthorized card-not-present transactions and protects the merchant from exposure to fraud.

AVS_CVV

Places a temporary hold on the card to ensure its validity. This process protects the merchant from exposure to fraud. This verification method will confirm that the address information or CVV included matches what the issuing bank has on file for the associated card, ensuring that only authorized card users are able to make purchases from you.

The operation.

Enum: Description
add

Depending on the target location reference, completes one of these functions:

  • The target location is an array index. Inserts a new value into the array at the specified index.
  • The target location is an object parameter that does not already exist. Adds a new parameter to the object.
  • 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.

move

Removes the value at a specified location and adds it to the target location. The operation object must contain a from parameter, which is a string that contains a JSON pointer value that references the location in the target document from which to move the value. 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 from parameter, which is a string that contains a JSON pointer value that references the location in the target document from which to copy the value. For the operation to succeed, the from location must exist. For more information, see 4.5. copy.

test

Tests that a value at the target location is equal to a specified value. 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.

path
string

Reauthorize Request

Reauthorizes an authorized PayPal account payment, by ID. To ensure that funds are still available, reauthorize a payment after its initial three-day honor period expires. You can reauthorize a payment only once from days four to 29.

If 30 days have transpired since the date of the original authorization, you must create an authorized payment instead of reauthorizing the original authorized payment.

A reauthorized payment itself has a new honor period of three days.

You can reauthorize an authorized payment once. The allowed amount depends on context and geography, for example in US it is up to 115% of the original authorized amount, not to exceed an increase of $75 USD.

Supports only the amount request parameter.

Note: This request is currently not supported for Partner use cases.
