# PaymentChannelAuthorize

`PaymentChannelAuthorize` is normally a 'Command' or locally signed object. Implemented in Xumm as a TransactionType (which it actually isn't, also: the resulting signed blob **can never be submitted to an XRPL node as is**). For more information, see: <https://xrpl.org/use-payment-channels.html>

Note: the **PaymentChannelAuthorize** transaction type is useful when you want to authorize a payment channel without submitting a transaction to the XRPL.
