How It Works

🔄

Capture Process

Backend verification and order update

Verify Order ID

Backend validates the PayPal order ID with PayPal's API

Check Payment Status

Confirms that the payment was approved and completed by the user

Capture Funds

Backend captures the authorized funds from PayPal

Update Presale Order

Updates the presale order status and triggers token delivery

Important Notes

⚠️

Call After Redirect

Only call this mutation after the user returns from PayPal checkout

🔐

Backend Verification

The backend verifies payment with PayPal before updating the order

✅

Idempotent Operation

Safe to call multiple times - subsequent calls will return the same result

💡

Error Handling

Returns false if payment wasn't completed or if the order ID is invalid

💡

Best Practice

Extract the order ID from the return URL query parameters when PayPal redirects users back to your site. Call this mutation immediately to capture the payment. Display appropriate success or error messages to users based on the response. Consider implementing webhook handlers for more reliable payment confirmation.
