    Hello widgetsupply,

    On page 374 of the reference guide http://www.mivamerchant.com/pdf/MivaPR8_10-30-13.pdf it talks about this.






    •Delete PayPal Tokens

    You only need to delete PayPal tokens if you are using PayPal Express Checkout.


    If you are using PayPal Express Checkout, the customer:

    1.Starts the checkout process in your store.

    2.Visits the PayPal site to authorize the fund transfer.

    3. Returns to your store to complete checkout.


    When the customer returns to your site, Miva Merchant and PayPal have created a PayPal token, which is a record of the transaction and the authorization for funds transfer. The PayPal token is kept in your store's database. If the customer completes checkout normally, the PayPal token is automaticallydeleted. But if the customer cancels checkout, say by closing their browser before they click on the Buy button, the token remains in the database and the table containing the token can get bigger and bigger.
