PayPal Direct Payment API 

Hi. We want to use PayPal's Direct Payment API to accept credit card payments. What's the best way to go about doing this?

Thanks!

This is not supported in AliCommerce 1.x  and will be implemented in AliCommerce 2.0.

Re: PayPal Direct Payment API 

Can you offer some instruction on how to get this working now in 2.0? There is only a passing line about it in the QuickStart guide, and it doesn't really make it clear that PayPal's credit card API is definitely usable now. I'd like to get some advice before I get started working it out by trial and error only to find out that this function isn't yet enabled.

Thanks.

Re: PayPal Direct Payment API 

PayPal Pro is a payment gateway. So you should follow instructions on page 5 of quick start guide.

Re: PayPal Direct Payment API 

It's worth mentioning that the PayPal Pro gateway will only accept payments in USD.  The PayPal Express gateway works correctly, by taking the currency from the site, but the pro version is fixed to USD.

Re: PayPal Direct Payment API 

What we implemented is PayPal Website Payments Pro For US, that's why the currency is hardcoded. Hope this payment gateway will be available in other countries soon.

Re: PayPal Direct Payment API 

The API does work fine with my UK-registered PayPal Pro account.  It connects up fine with the same credentials I use for PayPal Express.  The only problem literally is that it takes money in USD rather than GBP, and given the exchange rate I can't afford to give a 50% discount.  ;)

Re: PayPal Direct Payment API 

I'm pretty sure it will fail if I change currency to GBP. We can give it a go when I've got a free moment.

Sure.  Send me a modified file and I'll give it a test.

Re: PayPal Direct Payment API 

Ah, this was my mistake in wording — I said "API," but I really want to know about PayPal Website Payments Standard integration. We do not have a particular need for Pro, but have access to Standard (as opposed to Express) and would like to use that to accept credit cards through PayPal from customers who do not have or need a PayPal account. We have done this in the past with many other ecommerce systems, but don't see where to begin to set it up in AliCommerce.

Re: PayPal Direct Payment API 

Sorry, we don't have plan to support paypal standard at the moment. This is because we have a lot of code run on shopping cart page.

Are you ready to give this a try?
