    Does it affect payment when I complete an order manually?

    Payment should be processed, when your user submit an order on PayPal checkout page. After that user will be redirected to Thank You page and you should receive payment to your PayPal account. 

    However I think that you received Incomplete Payments and that you have completed them. 

    Clicking the 'complete submission' button on the list of incomplete payment submissions will NOT process payments. It will simply trigger the post-submission actions and dump the data to the submissions list, as if it was paid for (but not really).

    Incomplete payments are usually abandoned payments. Meaning, the user might have closed the browser or abandon it after they are redirected to the Paypal's checkout page. 

    If you received the payments on your PayPal account, but they are not shown on the submission page, the submissions might be in the incomplete payment list. This is happening when Paypal IPN is disabled in your PayPal account and you will have to enable IPN on your Paypal account:
