To configure Website Payments Standard payment method, complete the following settings:
Configuring Website Payments Standard
| • | Account e-mail: type in an e-mail address associated with your PayPal Business account. |
In order to employ Website Payments Standard method you must switch on PayPal Instant Payment Notifications (IPN) for your PayPal Business account.
1. Log into your PayPal account.
2. Go to My Account / Profile / Instant Payment Notification Preferences.
3. Select the 'Instant Payment Notification (IPN)' check box;
4. Leave the 'Instant Payment Notification (IPN) URL:' field empty, make sure there is nothing in the URL field, even a https:// prefix.
| • | Logo URL: type in the URL address of your online store logo to be displayed on PayPal payment pages. The logo must be a 150x50 pixel image file. |
| • | 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 mode: specify whether you want to run this payment method in 'Live' or 'Test' mode. When running in test mode, PayPal Pro module uses PayPal development server to process PayPal transactions. |
| • | Treat PayPal orders in progress as 'Queued' rather than 'Incomplete': select this check box if you would like PayPal orders in progress to be marked as 'Queued'. |
| Note: | It is recommended that you keep this option unchecked to ensure the standard logic of order processing. The exception is when your store has the InventoryTracking module installed and configured to track inventory when an order is placed (see option 'Track inventory when order is placed' in the InventoryTracking module settings), in which case marking PayPal orders in progress as 'Queued' enables accurate inventory tracking. |
Review the settings and click on the 'Update' button to save them.
| Note: | In order to be able to use Website Payments Standard payment method in 'Test' mode, you must hold a testing account with PayPal Developer Central. |
