PayPal Payment Types

PayPal supports different kind of payments:

Sale: Will charge the user for the full amount of the transaction
Authorization: Only authorizes the user’s payment instrument. This needs afterwards to be captured with a Capture request
Order: Only gets consent from user for this particular order. No funds will be authorized

A Debit will always use the Sale type. A Preauthorize will by default use the Authorization type.

You can control the behavior for Preauthorize by sending the paypalPaymentAction parameter (see below).
