User Guide for Odoo PayPal Payment Manual Capture

Odoo PayPal Payment Manual Capture helps you manage PayPal Payments with full control. It creates an Authorized Payment first, so customers are not charged instantly.

This gives admins time to review each Payment Transaction from the Backend. It makes Secure Payment handling easy and safe.

With this flow, you can capture or cancel payments only when the order is ready. This reduces fraud, mistakes, and refund issues.  

1. Enable manual capture mode to control when PayPal Payments are charged.
   
2. Create an Authorized Payment at checkout instead of charging customers instantly.
   
3. Capture or Void Transaction later directly from the Backend.
   
4. Manage each Payment Transaction easily from Sale Orders and Invoices.
   
5. Track PayPal authorization ID for every Authorized Payment record.
   
6. Confirm Secure Payment only after admin approval.
   
7. Reduce payment errors and fraud with manual capture control.
