Hello I have got email from the support

Can you please let me know how I will get the authorization key or parent_id for the transaction.

please check email Data.

Hello Ankush,
One or more of your apps are omitting the ‘authorization’ or ‘parent_id’ parameters when
capturing transactions, potentially causing errors for merchants utilizing an order editing
app in conjunction with your own. Please update your app to allow for multiple
authorization transactions immediately to avoid issues for merchants experiencing higher
order volumes during BFCM this Friday November 26.
App ID: 5039951
App Name:Orders Management
What happens if I don’t update my app?
Failing to update your app could result in manual payment capture error in orders with a
secondary payment, such as a post purchase offer. In this case, the second purchase
authorization is not captured.
How can I update my app?
When creating Transactions to capture an authorization, always include either the
‘authorization’ or ‘parent_id’ parameter to specify which authorization you’d like to capture.
In order to capture payments successfully, apps are required to allow for multiple
authorization transactions.
If you have questions about implementing these changes, please contact support via your
partner dashboard.
Regards,
Shopify Apps Team

Thanks

Even I have got the same, and had question on how to get authorization key. Looking to get a reply from someone from shopify, whether any string authorization can be supplied (and we can supply transaction id received from payment gateway etc.) or there is a specific way to register transaction with shopify and the authorization key.

Have heard from Shopify partners support, that they are not coders, and unable to provide this information.
