Stores connected to X-Payments can be configured to use payment processing via PayPal REST API.

|
Supports transactions of 'Sale' type (Authorization and capture actions are completed simultaneously at the time of payment processing) |
| Auth |
|
Supports transactions of 'Auth' type (An authorization hold is placed on the amount approved by the buyer to ensure the availability of funds for capture) |
| Capture | Partial and multiple transactions supported |
