New PayPal Module (Latest API 2.0) Configuration in Advanced Variant for osCommerce 2-based systems

Although we have released the new osCommerce 4 version, many shop owners continue to use systems based on osCommerce 2. As a result, we have made adjustments to the new PayPal module to support Express and APM - Alternative Payment Method - methods, ensuring compatibility with osCommerce 2-based systems.

To configure the new PayPal module in the advanced variant and if you are going to use alternative payment methods or wish to take credit card payments without leaving site you should set up webhooks and custom card fields options. In order to do it click on the installed module, on Edit button, and on Click here to configure link. Then click on Account details and advanced settings link and on Subscribe button next to Required Webhooks.

To show fields for filling in the credit card information on the check out page check the box next to Status (by default the required settings have already been chosen) and click on Save button in the pop up window as well as scroll down the page and click on Save button there.

With the help of the settings for this module you can:

Accept PayPal Rest payments

Disable PayPal for guests if only virtual products are in shopping cart (since PayPal does not provide any billing address, the guest (express) orders will not have any address)

Show PayPal button(s) on Shopping Cart page (if horizontal is chosen and depending on design only one PayPal button may show)

Show PayPal button(s) on Checkout Login page (if horizontal is chosen and depending on design only one PayPal button may show, also further settings will be shown below)

Show PayPal button(s) on Checkout page (if horizontal is chosen and depending on design only one PayPal button may show, Fields option allows to show fields for filling in the credit card information on the check out page)
