I am looking to see if there is a way to use Paypal within Magento to have a authorize a charge to an account, and only do the capture several months later. We are designing a site where the lead time on orders could be months as the products need to be created once ordered.
Based on what I have seen in Paypals documentation (links below), I believe there is a time limit of about a month, however I thought it prudent to confirm this.
Thank you,

Authorizations normally only allow up to 30 days from the original transaction date. There isn't a way to guarantee those funds for an extended period of time, though you can reauthorize for a short time, you would not be able to extend it for months at a time.
The best way to go about this would be to utilize Reference Transaction which allows you to run a new transaction off an existing transaction.
Documentation: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/api/merchant/DoReferenceTransaction_API_Operation_NVP/
How this would work is you would run an intial charge usually a smaller amount then your system would store the transaction ID from the original payment and then you would use the reference transaction API to run a new transaction for the remaining amount at the time you are requesting.
Note, Reference Transaction is not enabled by default so you would need to contact PayPal Business Support to get a request submitting to activate this service.

I'm working on a Magento marketplace where the client would like to use paypal delayed chain as payment method. Here Client will hold the vendors payment for 15 days and then execute payments. The scenario is Client don't want to hold payments for highly credible vendors. He wants to pay them right away. But in delayed chain, we can't execute payments based on vendors. When the time comes to pay vendors, all vendors will be paid at once based on transaction id or pay-key which used to create payment.
I need to implement this scenario in Magento. Does anyone have solution on this potential issue?
After digging deep about this issue, I found that paypal doesn't support what I asked from their API or the API is still isn't matured to accommodate the need. So we went with another solution to overcome this problem. Solution is not efficient but it's the only working solution as of now.
We have to go with checkout by vendor, so that we can execute payment based on vendor since each order is associated with a vendor.
In my project, I am using Braintree payment gateway. In that we can accept different types of credit cards like Visa, American Express etc. Each and every card has their predefined authorization days Like visa has 10 days authorization after that it will be expired. In braintree the transaction state will be "Authorization Expired".
My requirement is, to extend the authorization state to more than the predefined days like 10. On the basis of that I want to charge amount from client on specific future date.
Is there any way,so I can keep the transaction state as "Authorized" until the payment transaction date come.
Please give your suggestions on this.
Thanks in Advance

I work at Braintree. If you have more questions, feel free to reach out to our support team.
There is no built-in way to extend an auth. In most cases, it isn't necessary -- be sure you actually need to hold the full amount for the entire time before charging.
If you do need to extend an auth, you can void the existing auth and re-auth the amount periodically, before the auth would expire.
This probably seems like a stupid question off hand, and maybe it is actually, but there are a few specific reasons I'm leaning away from using them. The paypal recurring profiles implementation seems like it doesn't work very well for a couple reasons:
There are a number of bugs in the process, including that new customers aren't created for first time checkouts using it.
Orders don't seem to be created for Recurring Profiles - maybe I have something misconfigured...?
Recurring Profiles have a Related Orders association, which is empty for my tests.
Apparently, Transactions are supposed to be used for recurring profiles (I read that on another thread recently), however I don't see those being populated either, needless to say.
What I'm leaning towards is the following:
Products can be associated to Subscription Plans within Recurly
During checkout, if a product with an association to a Subscription Plan is in the cart, the Recurly payment method will be available.
Upon purchase, an account and subscription will be created for the Magento user account.
In addition to the Order that is created, I will create a Transaction and associate it to the Order.
On the successful_payment_notification, I will insert a fresh Transaction against the original Order.
In the My Account section for the end user, I will extend the order detail template with a list of transactions.
Having a config option to suppress the Recurring Profiles section from My Account to avoid confusion on the part of the end users.
I'm sure someone much smarter than me has thought through this already, look forward to any insight you may be able to offer! Thanks!
UPDATE: My original question was kind of broken into two parts: one being why aren't my recurring profiles working even with PayPal, and the other being - does it make sense to use Recurring Profiles for my subscriptions feature. I didn't really get any answer for the latter, so I accepted the answer that was given to assist with the former issue.
I have since posted a new question related specifically to the question of whether or not to use Recurring Profiles: https://magento.stackexchange.com/questions/3202/should-i-use-recurring-profiles-for-subscriptions-feature
I have same problem and just found this:
Working with Recurring Profiles
where written that:
The Related Orders tab lists the orders which have been created according to the payment system notifications referenced by this recurring profile.
Important
To have information updated on the Recurring Profile View page, Instant Payment Notifications (IPN) must be set up in merchant account of the PayPal payment system.
I guess this is the solution to the problem
The next big topic in my new start-up company is recurring billing inside Magento. We will have a few recurring products we'd like to offer alongside some standard one-time products. I've researched the best gateways and so far we think either ARB or CIM from Authorize.net is the way to go.
Some questions come up though such as:
If Authorize.net is going to handle the recurring aspect, what is the point of Magento's built-in recurring profiles system? As far as I can tell it's to integrate with the 3rd party by actually taking the user to the 3rd party site? Using Authorize.net would eliminate the need for recurring profiles right?
Are we limited to purchasing one of two or three $300 modules out there to get started with ARB or CIM? So far Magento only supports SIM or DPM. Or do I have to sit down and extend the built-in Authorize.net payment method? Basically I am trying to say we are on a start-up budget and $300 is a killer at this moment.
If we went with ARB over CIM that means if a customer came back to purchase a second item later on that they would have to re-enter their information (CC #, exp. date, etc.) whereas CIM would have this ready to go...is that the correct explanation?
We need the flexibility to create unique payment schedules during checkout. For example: We will sell a custom website and hosting package. We want to charge the user 50% of the website cost upfront and 50% upon completion and setup a recurring payment for the hosting package all at time of checkout.
Along with question #4, currently Magento's recurring profiles limit nominal items to be purchased separately than regular products. This is not acceptable for us and a customer must be able to purchase all wanted items together in one checkout page.
Sorry for this lengthy post but I'm very curious to see what our options might be given all we want/need to do. Any advise is good advice!
The Magento recurring billing code allows customers to view and edit their subscription inside the Magento webstore, so there's no redirection to third party.
Short answer: yes, or roll your own.
I believe that is the case, but you need to check with Authorize.Net on that.
Not sure what the question is here?
Then refer to your earlier question on this topic that I answered. You can choose to override the core functionality, but you need to familiarize yourself with the reasons why Magento chose to enforce that restriction. I believe that is likely due to a restriction in the Paypal interface, and other recurring billing gateways such as Authorize.Net may be able to cope with one-off and recurring items in the same transaction.
