Hi @bociakrodyl
It depends on what exactly you are looking for.
One way to use PayPal for an application like this is using payment authorizations with the Intent feature.
By default, the intent is configured to Capture, which will immediately capture the buyer’s payment.
But when using “Authorize” as the intent, buyers are only authorizing a payment to your shop.
This lets you check the order and also adjust the order amount if anything must be changed. After checking, when the order amount is the same or lower as authorized, then you could just capture the payment without the buyer having to perform any additional steps.
But if the order amount is higher than what was authorized, you would need to send the buyer a new payment link from the WooCommerce order.
If you don’t want to use payment authorizations, there are also third-party plugins that allow you to create orders without taking payments. But this wouldn’t directly have anything to do with PayPal Payments.
Usually, using authorizations makes the most sense if you are not sure what the order total will be at the point of the payment.
I hope this helps!
Kind regards,
Niklas
