Payment Capture on Status Change

Hi @planetnine,

Thank you for reaching out to us, we are here to help.

There was a change in the PayPal plugin that causes automatic payment capture when order status changes to “processing”. This feature was added to allow merchants to capture authorized payments by changing the order status.
While there are no settings in the plugin that allows you to explicitly change that, you may still use a filter to disable that option.

You can use this filter to completely disable the capture on status change. You can insert this into your functions.php or use a custom code snippets plugin to achieve this.

add_filter( 'woocommerce_paypal_payments_capture_on_status_change', '__return_false' );

Let us know if that works for you.

Best Regards,
Jamie
