Authorization Request Approved Approved (Further Inquiry Required if response amount is different than order amount) denied The payment was denied. Authorization Request Refused Rejected pending The payment is pending Authorization Requested New Cancelation of the order: If a customer cancels the order from the PayPal payment page, then the order status is updated to "Canceled".

You will also view additional information such as the transaction code, the authorization codes and additional data.-
5. (Optional) : Define payment modes
In the above screen, you may have noticed that the payment mode mentioned is PayPal.
Here is how to display the payment method or card type used by the buyer:
to the Seller/Store > Seller > Payment mode screen and create payment mode with code "paypal".Example: create the PayPal payment mode
Warning: the Code and not the name must exactly match "paypal".
When a customer now pays with PayPal on your store, the payment will display PayPal as payment mode.
Additional Information and known limitations
- The current implementation of the PayPal payment gateway does not support recurring payments, multiple payments of a single orders. Supporting these payment modes may require to develop another Package or extend this package by specific developments.

Installing packages for Magelia WebStore responsive Storefront is a two-step process.
- Configure Visual Studio to access your Magelia Private Repository
- View the packages you purchased or got for free
Please note that the configuration of your Magelia Private Repository has to be done only once. After you have configured it, all the packages that you add will be automatically available in your private repository.
-
1. Configure Visual Studio to access your Magelia Private Repository
If you have already configured your Magelia Private repository, skip this step and go directly to part 2.
We first need to get the URL of your private Magelia repository because we will need this URL to make the packages available in Visual Studio.
Go to www.magelia.org , login and access your account (www.magelia.org/store/en/account). The url of your private repository is on the lower right size of the page : Copy this URL
Now that we have retrieved this information, let us configure Visual Studio to access your packages.
In Visual Studio, go to the menu: Tools > NuGet Package Manager > Package Manager Settings :
In the menu on the right click on "Package Sources"
Then hit the « + » button on the upper right side to add a new package
Edit the name and enter "Magelia private repository"
Edit the source and Paste the URL of your Magelia repository (the one that was in your Magelia.org account)
-
2. View the packages you purchased or got for free
Once your private repository has been configured, simply click on “Update”. This will make the packages available in Visual Studio :
To view the available packages and install a package, right-click on your project or on the solution and select "Manage NuGet Packages" :
In the pop-up window select "Magelia private repository" on the left panel to view the packages that you obtained from the Magelia Gallery.
Click Install next to the package name to "Install a package"
You are all set!
What we have described here is the standard procedure to install a Magelia package.
In order to configure or adapt your package to your project requirements, please refer to the package page on Magelia.org.
-
The PayPal package is based on the PayPal Payment Standards and allows developers to simply add a PayPal payment button that redirects the visitor to PayPal and updates the payment in Magelia one the payment has been processed.
As no credit card information is stored in Magelia WebStore, this approach really reduces the effort to provide PCI compliance.
