I have just added PayPal to the site, as an addition to my Streamline terminal, hopefully to convert more browsers into buyers.
Selling over the counter in the shop and also through Catalog can cause problems with stock control. I frequently have to cancel items from Catalog orders due to selling out or not having enough items in stock, particularly where 'Choices' are involved and a blanket stock in hand figure is used.
With the PayPal setup the total of the order is processed on order completion. Ideally I would like to complete the order in the same way as I do with my terminal i.e. only charge for the goods actually supplied.
Doing it this way would eliminate the need for refunds and would mean that I was not paying PayPal charges on the order value, irrespective of the value of the final invoice.
So, is there an easy way to set this up, so that I can apply charges to the customers PayPal account after proccessing the order.
As you can see from the question I am new to PayPal and do not fully understand the workings of the system.
