-- url of the page with the problem -- : pearblossomfarms.com
-- HikaShop version -- : 2.3.0

-- Error-message(debug-mod must be tuned on) -- : n/a

We use the basic Paypal plugin for transactions. Not Paypal Express and NOT paypal Pro.
(plugins/hikashoppayment/paypal/paypal.php)

My client has asked me to look into the way paypal credits payments. Apparently the way we are setup with Hikashop, Paypal right now does not credit the payment until he manually accepts it.
The way it worked on the previous version of his shop (based on OScommerce) payments were getting credited immediately.

He would like for his payments to be credited right away instead of being simply approved but not paid until he manually approves them.

He took the initiative to speak with a Paypal representative and he told him that he could accomplish that by changing a switch in the code on the website. I have researched the pertinent help files with Paypal and I have not found how to do that.

These are the documents we have found:
developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/admin/auth-capture/
developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/expres...ide/ECRelatedAPIOps/

Both my client and I suspect that the PP rep was referring to "Paypal Express" which we are not using. And we are both rather confused by the way Paypal explain the whole thing.

I do know for a fact that there is no switch in the plugin administration for the version of Paypal we are using, and if there is a switch in the plugin code, I have not found it.

If anyone can explain how we can accomplish to have payments not just authorized but deposited automatically at the time of purchase we'd be very grateful.

Thank you.

Hello,
The solution will probably be to set the "Enable validation mode" option of your PayPal payment configuration page to YES NO.

Thank you for your replay. I looked in the paypal plugin and that switch appears to be already set to "yes".

I have attached a screenshot of the settings in the paypal plugin. Maybe it should be set to "No"?

My bad, yes it should be set to NO in your case.

OK, I just sedt it to "NO" and I alerted my client. He will let me know if that worked or not for him.

Thank you for your help.
