# Can’t void PayPal authorization

 * My client is using authorize, and capture after packing order. However, if my
   client wants to cancel the order, there is no way to void the authorization from
   within WP. Instead, they must go to PayPal (or wait the 30 days, which isn’t 
   quite acceptable). A woocommerce “refund” should check to see if the PayPal payment
   has in fact been processed, and if not, it should then void the authorization
   instead of attempting a refund.
