• PayPal payment methods are presented at BigCommerce checkout, and an order is created with a payment intent and PayPal transaction reference tied to the order ID.
• Authorization, capture, and void events are recorded against the BigCommerce order payment, with support for multiple captures per order when the gateway flow allows it.
• Refunds initiated in BigCommerce are sent to PayPal with line-level or amount-based data when available; partial refunds generate distinct PayPal refund transaction IDs.
• PayPal webhooks or API polling update BigCommerce with transaction state changes such as captured, pending, refunded, reversed, or denied, including timestamps for audit trails.
• Payment fees, gross, and net amounts are stored per transaction where returned by PayPal, and mapped for payout and settlement reconciliation reporting.
• Idempotency keys and transaction de-duplication logic prevent double-posting of captures or refunds during retries, timeouts, or webhook re-deliveries.

Why choose scandiweb to handle BigCommerce integration for you?
How do you sync BigCommerce orders with PayPal captures and transaction status updates?
We map PayPal transactions to the BigCommerce order payment record and keep capture and status changes in sync via webhooks and API checks. This supports PayPal Checkout, Express Checkout, and Pay Later flows.
Can a BigCommerce PayPal integration handle partial captures and multiple capture attempts?
Yes – we support partial captures, staged captures, and retries while keeping the paid amount accurate on the order. Finance gets a clear audit trail from authorization to final capture.
How are PayPal refunds synced back to BigCommerce for accurate financial reconciliation?
Refund events are matched to the original capture and written back to the order, including partial and split refunds. This keeps net revenue and payment status consistent in BigCommerce reporting.
What happens if PayPal shows a completed payment, but BigCommerce still shows pending or failed?
We build a reconciliation routine that cross-checks PayPal transaction IDs and updates BigCommerce when asynchronous statuses arrive late. It reduces “which system is right?” situations during month-end close.
Do you support PayPal fee visibility and transaction-level reporting for BigCommerce finance teams?
We can enrich the payment record with PayPal transaction references so fees and settlement details are easier to trace in exports or BI. scandiweb’s analytics team has delivered 575+ eCommerce dashboards, so we can also wire this into your reporting stack.
