Guest Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 really? - Under merchants heading I don't know 100% but I have never had problems receiving money from customers unless they have set up with paypal to pay me?? Yeah... basically any email address=paypal account. Customers basically register at paypal, it doesn't cost any money to sign up with them. If you'll be a little more specific about what you need for your business website, I may be able to help you out--why don't you email me instead, though...

Guest Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Interesting - would there be a difference between the US and UK? If so is to accommodate different laws? Yep. That's it exactly. Different laws, different Liabilities for the company. What they can possibly get away with over there in the UK, they may not be able to over here in the US. I guess thats why all these big companies can't wait to start transacting overseas... Less regulations on them, especially since they're not based there.

Not true - PayPal accept credit cards.

jasonabc Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I did. US Paypal do not require you to be a PayPal member to pay by credit card ;-) When you go off to the Paypal site you are given two options - the "Pay Fast With PayPal" option (where you have to be a member) or the "Don't have a PayPal Account?" option where you can pay by credit card without creating a PayPal account.

bkellum Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Question... I have been asked to setup PayPal for a client that wants to use the stock PayPal module included in osC. The client has a PayPal Website Payments Pro account. Here's my question... What are the biggest No No's for doing this (using the stock PayPal IPN Module)? My question is based on the reasons why the other PayPal Payment contributions have been created...I'm sure it's because the stock module is inadequate somehow. The client is not looking for any extra features from the module, just wanting to have it setup. Thanks for all replys...no matter how simple or detailed. ;) Bill Bill Kellum Sounds Good Productions STS Tutorials & more: STSv4.6, STS Add-ons (STS Power Pack), STS V4 Forum STS Forum FREE TEMPLATE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonabc Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 If he has Website Payments Pro, you would need to install this: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,3716 The stock PayPal module relies on the customer returning to your store after they have completed checkout on Paypal's site. If a return URL is not set on the Paypal side and/or the customer does not come back to the store, an order is not created in OSC. You therefore see the oft posted problem of people who have the money - but absolutely no record of what was ordered.... The Paypal IPN mod fixes this. It is for use with a standard PayPal business account. The reason there are so many other PayPal modules is because Paypal offer so many different payment *options*. Payflow Pro, Payflow Link, Website Payments Pro, Paypal IPN, Direct Checkout, Express Checkout - the list is endless...!

Outpostextreme Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I have a question about Paypal and Credit Cards. Ok, iam going to accept Paypal and Credit Cards i understand how it works with regards to Paypal. Let me see if i have this straight, if paying with PP they dont have to go to PP to make final payment and the OSC does it though its interface? On the Credit Card side, iam not to sure about. If you accept CC, does it work though the Paypal merchant account? I would like to prevent them having to leave the site, which i dont think is a good thing to do. I hope this makes sense. Cheers, OPE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonabc Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 If using the stock PayPal module or Paypal IPN module - they redirect off to the PayPal site regardless. When you get there you can either use your PayPal account to pay quickly - or use the more longwinded route and pay by credit card if you don't have an account, before returning back to your store. If you want your store to accept credit cards then you need an online merchant account, plugged into a payment gateway like Authorize.net. This will keep users on your site and process the card "behind-the-scenes". Paypal do offer this service as well - in which case you need to look at obtaining a Paypal Website Payments Pro, Paypal Payflow Pro or similar account and installing the appropriate OSC payment module.
