Pre Approved Payment

Hi, i am integrating PayPal Pre-Approved Payments into my website and i am struggling to find an answer to a query i have.

My users can make donations (pre approved pledges) to various Charity events, such as running a marathon. IF the marathon is ran, the API makes a call to processes all of the Pre Approved Payments (pledges), but what happens IF:

A - the donator does not have any funds in their PayPal account

B - the donator does not have any funds in their PayPal account but they have a credit card linked to their account

C - the donator does not have any funds in their PayPal account but they have a bank account linked to their account

Thanks in advance to any help you can give on this...

This is a pure PayPal API question that has nothing to do with PHP per se. You want this forum instead.

I am not a member of that mentioned website.

There is no other section on DevShed for my post. Considering that my query is based around PHP, as in PHP developers would have the experience with PayPal API integration, they would know the workings of such an API

What gw1500se means is: DevShed is a general-purpose programming language message board. While some of us may have direct paypal experience, if you have a paypal-only question, you should ask on the paypal-only message boards.
