Paypal buy now button places payment on review

Question

I am using paypal buy now button to accept payments. But after the payment is made by someone it is held under review. I want to be able to accept payment automatically. I have already tried using paymentaction variable and getting error

"Unknown pmtaction value"

Please help.

Answer 1

paymentaction can be of three

paymentaction  = sale
paymentaction  = authorization
paymentaction  = order

Make sure you are using the correct parameter. For instance if you use "paymentaction=authorisation" you will get this error. Use "paymentaction =authorization".
