authorize and capture - can't find fee info

What are the fees when using authorize and capture? For regular payment I think the fee is 3.4% + 0.30$

Is that works the same way for authorize and capture? Is there also fee for re-authorize? Is there also fee for void? Is there additional fee for multiple captures?

What happens if I did authorization for 500$ but eventually captured only 100$? the 3.9% are deducted from 500$ or 100$?

I know it's a lot of questions but hopefully I can get some answers.

Thanks!

Solution

  • For PayPal account payments all fees are the same whether using auth/capture or not. Feed apply to captures, no auth fees, so in your example you would pay fees on $100, not $500.

    But this type of info should be easily (and more reliably) obtained from PayPal's website or sales staff.
