PayPal Website Payments Pro Integration Instructions

Using PayPal Pro in your shopping cart is now 100% easier than before.

Everything can be done by entering the settings into the Shopping Cart Web Administration.

In order to set up the Shopping Cart to use PayPal Website Payments Pro for your payment processor you need to follow these steps:

1. You have to have a PayPal account that has signed up and approved to use Website Payments Pro.

2. Next you need to log on to your PayPal account.

3. Go to the Profile section.

4. Click either Request API Credentials or View/Remove API Credentials

5. Click View or Change API Permissions.

6. If you are requesting new API credentials then choose "API Signature", check "I Agree" and then click Submit.

7. Copy the API UserName, API Password and Signature into the Shopping Cart administration. All 3 values go on the Cart Settings -> PayPal tab.

8. There are 2 options to use PayPal Website Payments Pro. One or both can be setup in your cart.

Option 1: Express Checkout. This is where a customer can check out with PayPal directly. This means that they will go to PayPal's site and get their billing and shipping information and then come back to your Shopping Cart to finish their order. To enable this feature, go to the Cart Settings -> PayPal tab and choose Yes next to the "Use PayPal Express Checkout" radio button choice and click Save.

Option 2: Merchant Account. This is where a customer can enter in their billing information in the Shopping Cart and have PayPal charge their card without the customer even knowing that it's done through PayPal. To enable this feature, go to the Enterprise Tab. You should be on the "Real Time Card Processing" tab by default. Choose "PayPal Direct Payment" from the list and then check "Use Real Time Card Processing" and click Save.

9. Make sure that you have the right payment fields turned on. You do this by going to the Cart Settings -> Payment Information tab. Make sure you have "Show" set to "Yes" for the following items: Mastercard, Visa, Discover, American Express, Credit Card, Exp Date and CVV2.

10. Finally, under the Cart Settings Tab -> Paypal subtab -> PayPal Classic Settings section, enter your PayPal ID in the "PayPal ID/Email" field and click save.

That concludes the PayPal Website Payments Pro setup for the shopping cart. You are now ready to take orders!
