Transaction Settings page enables the administrator to specify rules governing all transactions. For example, you can set the maximum allowable amount for transactions to $2000 and require that credits can be issued only for existing transactions. These settings place restrictions on transactions from any PayPal service.
Only administrators can modify transaction settings information. If you do not have administrator privileges, you can only view this information here.
To access the Transaction Settings page, navigate to Account Administration -> Manage Security -> Transaction Settings.
Review your current transaction settings. If necessary, edit your settings using the following information:
Be sure to enter information for all fields denoted by an asterisk.
|
Field |
Description |
|
Maximum Amount Per Transaction |
Any Authorization, Sale, Credit, Delayed Capture, or Voice Authorization transaction greater than the amount that you specify is declined. Leave the field blank to allow any transaction amount up to the limit established by your processor or your Internet merchant bank. |
|
Maximum Amount for Credits |
Any Credit transaction greater than the amount that you specify is declined. A setting of 0 (zero) disables Credit transactions for your Payflow account. |
|
Allow Non-referenced Credits
|
Specify No (recommended by PayPal) to require that the accumulated credit amount against this transaction may not exceed the original transaction amount—the credit can be for any amount up to the original transaction amount. Specify Yes to allow any credit amount up to the limit established by the processor or merchant bank. Take special care with this setting as unlimited credit amounts make it easier for employees to commit fraud. If you specify No for this option, then you cannot specify Yes for the Allow Non-referenced Credits option. |

Credits May Exceed Original Transaction Amount |
Specify No (recommended by PayPal) to require that the accumulated credit amount against this transaction may not exceed the original transaction amount—the credit can be for any amount up to the original transaction amount. Specify Yes to allow any credit amount up to the limit established by the processor or merchant bank. Take special care with this setting—unlimited credit amounts make it easier for employees to commit fraud. If you specify No for this option, then you cannot specify Yes for the Allow Non-referenced Credits option. |
|
Allow Reference Transactions
|
Specify whether to allow the use of an existing transaction as a starting point from which to generate a new transaction (the Reference transaction). By default, Reference transactions are not allowed. For example, if you select Yes, then PayPal Manager users can generate a new Sale or Authorization transaction for a customer from a specified original transaction. The user can modify any aspect of the transaction, including the amount, before submitting the new transaction. Select No to disallow the use of reference transactions. |
