Two payment methods, Website Payments Pro and Express Checkout have common settings. To configure these payment methods, specify the settings below:
Configuring Website Payments Pro and Express Checkout
| • | Login: type in your company PayPal API Account Name here. To see your API Account Name, log into your PayPal Business account, choose 'API access' link in the 'Profile' section, and then click on the 'API Certificate Information' link. |
| • | Password: type in your PayPal Business account password here. |
| • | Certificate filename: type in the location of PayPal certificate file; the certificate should be downloaded from your PayPal account and placed on your website inside the LiteCommerce installation folder. To download the certificate, log into your PayPal Business account and choose 'API access' link in the 'Profile' section. |
| • | Order prefix: this setting is useful if you have multiple online stores offering PayPal payments; specify a unique store prefix in this field to separate individual store orders on PayPal. |
| • | Currency: specify the currency in which PayPal transactions should be carried out. This setting would normally match the 'Payment Receiving Preferences' of your PayPal account settings and the default currency of your online store. |
| • | Transaction type: specify whether you want PayPal Pro and PayPal Express Checkout to use 'Sale' or 'Authorization' type of transactions. |
| • | Use 'Sale' type if your buyers' orders are final (for example, if total costs of orders are complete with shipping, handling and tax charges). Transactions are considered to be your payments, and you expect no additional charges to the buyers. When the transaction is complete, the corresponding LiteCommerce order is marked as 'Processed'. |
| • | Use 'Authorization' type if the total cost of orders at point of sale is not complete for some reason (such as unknown shipping charges) and you expect to capture funds after checkout is complete. You can then use PayPal Authorization & Capture to obtain payments. When the transaction is complete, the corresponding LiteCommerce order is marked as 'Queued'. |
| • | Transaction mode: specify whether you want to run PayPal Pro and PayPal Express Checkout payment methods in 'Live' or 'Test' mode. When running in test mode, PayPal Pro module uses PayPal development server to process PayPal transactions. |
Review the settings and click on the 'Update' button to save them.
| Note: | In order to be able to use Website Payments Pro and Express Checkout payment methods in 'Test' mode, you must hold a testing account with PayPal Developer Central. |
