- The order created in OXID order management will be labeled as Authorized.
2. Purchase: Payments for orders are captured/invoiced automatically .
- This payment action triggers the transaction type purchase for payment method PayPal.
- The order created in OXID order management will be labeled as Processing.

2. Capture: Triggers transaction type capture-authorization. The payment will be captured/invoiced, and the corresponding order in OXID order management will be updated to status Processing.
3. Refund: Triggers transaction type refund-capture. The payment/invoice will be refunded, and the corresponding order in OXID order management will be updated to status Refunded.
