I want to setup Paypal such that user does not leave my site and can purchase using her credit card.
I tried the Prestashop Paypal Pro Plugin. But it seems it is only for US and Australia. I am in none of these countries.
Then I tried to setup the normal Prestashop Paypal Plugin. In the process of setting up, there is advertisement on solutions that help "Accept Credit Card Payments Today!". Such solutions are:
PayPal Payments Standard, PayPal Payments Advanced etc.
Yet, how do I set these up with Prestashop? Do I need to create a module for this? Or does something already exist?
Try PayPal Pro (Direct Payment) from presto-changeo.com (http://www.presto-changeo.com/en/payment-modules/88-paypal-pro-direct-payment.html)

I have a store, based on opencart, and to this day I have two types of payments configured, one is paypal express checkout and the other is paypal website payments pro, for both options I needed to enter info like api password, username and signature, info that is the same for both cases - and double checked - when someone buy something and pay with paypal express checkout it works wonderfully, but when they try to use paypal website payments pro it says that there's a configuration merchant error. Checked and double checked, nothing, re-create the credentials again, nothing, I don't know what else to do I was wondering if someone around had the same error and if there's a solution for this?
Thanks a lot!

Invalid Merchant Configuration means that DoDirectPayment is not enabled on your PayPal account, which means you don't have Payments Pro active.
It could also mean that Pro was approved, but you never agreed to the $30/mo payment. That agreement would show up in your overview when you login to your PayPal account.
Another possibility is that you've been approved for "PayPal Payments Pro 2.0" which uses the PayFlow API instead of the DoDirectPayment API. In that case, DDP would not be enabled on your account and would result in the error you're getting.
Have you been paying the $30/mo to PayPal for Pro?
I have a store running opencart which already has a fully functional shopping cart running, it is just requesting an API and authentication details.
So, how can I simply setup a API and be done with it, do i need to setup a sandbox account etc.
I just want a very simple setup for accepting payments via paypal and credit cards in NZ
Ive checked all the online guides and they are all for older layouts/designs of paypal.
Any help much appreciated!
Thanks
The only thing You need to is to install and enable (both if not yet done) the PayPal standard (or Paypal Express checkout) payment options in OpenCart administration - as far as I understand Your problem clearly.
Go to administration Extensions -> Payments and here scroll to find the PayPal payment options (should be three by default: PayPal Standard, PayPal Website Payment Pro and PayPal Website Payment Pro UK) - PayPal Standard should be Your bet. If Install action is available on the right, click on it and afterwards click on Edit action. Insert Your account information, select Enabled status and Your are done.
Now users should be able to select this payment option and after confirming the order they should be redirected to PayPal to pay for their orders.
After having a good read through PayPal's docs, I'm still lost.
FYI in Canada and US it's called "Website Payments Pro", otherwise it's "PayPal Payments Pro".
I need to setup a way of:
User subscribing to a yearly fee
User can setup subscriptions WITHOUT a paypal account (pro feature)
This sounds really simple, but when you start searching for more technical docs about that matter I can only find articles like these:
http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/how-to-setup-recurring-payments/
Which is fine, but this isn't for PayPal Payments Pro. I heard I'll have to use server-side calls to the API but all I can find is people telling me to "create a button".
But the buttons, for some reason, doesn't support Pro features and ask users to register on PayPal to get subscribed which my client doesn't want at all.
Could anyone share me some light about those?
I find PayPal's docs misleading. I really really need to get this done as soon as possible but I cannot seem to find good docs or a good working example for this.
Thanks for your help, it's greatly appreciated!
PayPal Payments Pro is the new name for Website Payments Pro. The button way of doing things is called PayPal Payments Standard.
See https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/paypal-payments-pro/integration-guide/WPRecurringPayments/. Recurring payments can be set up with ExpressCheckout (buyer has a paypal account and logs in to paypal site to approve subscription during setup) or DoDirectPayment (you provide buyer's credit card info when setting up the subscription)
There are a few ways to do it, but if you don't want to mess around with API calls, then I would suggest using a subscription button and signing up for Enhanced Recurring Payments. This allows you to accept subscriptions from buyers who don't have a PayPal account and don't want to sign up for one. To sign up, go to https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=xpt/Marketing/merchant/ERPOverview.
I am using the Paypal API Payments Pro to set up recurring payments on my website using credit/debit card, everything worked perfect on Sandbox but on live it gives me error DPRP is disabled for this merchant. I have called Paypal several times and all they do is confuse me and they never let me talk to their technical team. i have alreday purchased the additional recurring billing service with Paypal Payment Pro. This is what i get as response from Paypal.
{"TIMESTAMP":"2013%2d08%2d27T17%3a18%3a08Z","CORRELATIONID":"6xxxxxxx65e8","ACK":"Failure","VERSION":"86%2e0","BUILD":"7xxxx78","L_ERRORCODE0":"11586","L_SHORTMESSAGE0":"DPRP%20is%20disabled%2e","L_LONGMESSAGE0":"DPRP%20is%20disabled%20for%20this%20merchant%2e","L_SEVERITYCODE0":"Error"}}
DPRP stands for DirectPayment RecurringPayments. With the old Payments Pro you had to pay $30/mo for Pro itself and then another $30/mo on top of that for recurring payments. Until you were approved and agreed to the additional $30/mo you would get that error. So what it essentially means is you don't have DPRP enabled on your PayPal account right now.
You mentioned that you already signed up for Recurring Billing. It sounds to me like you're on the new version of PayPal Pro which uses the PayPal Manager and the PayFlow Gateway. This is a separate API from DoDirectPayment or CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile. So they've got you enabled for PayFlow, but you're trying to use the old API.
What you need to do is either re-develop your stuff using the PayFlow API or get PayPal to set you up on Website Payments Pro 3.0, which is the old version that used DDP and CRPP. If you tell them you've already developed everything using that API they should go ahead and turn it on for you so you don't have to redo everything. The thing that could be troublesome is the fee structure of DPRP. Again, it's $60/mo when you get it all enabled, but the new one is cheaper. They can redo the fee structure for you to match what you get with PayFlow, and if you can get in touch with the right person, they will, but sometimes that can be tough.
If you have a bunch of trouble getting somebody to help you contact me directly and I can get you in touch with one of my contacts at PayPal that will help you out.
If you happen to be using PHP you might be interested in my PHP Class Library for PayPal which makes the PayFlow integration very simple if you decide you just want to redevelop your stuff.
If you're interested in a better understanding of the different Payments Pro versions you can take a look at this article I wrote not long ago.
I need a PayPal Payflow Pro test account in order to create and test/use a WordPress plugin for payment with this method. I've done something similar for PayPal Website Payments Pro product and have set up testing in PayPal sandbox. The Payflow Pro product apparently doesn't work that way and PayPal documentation refers to vendors and partners as if it's necessary to have a live account in order to do testing.
An answer in this forum (How to do PayPal Payflow Test Transactions?) says it's possible "to create the account without paying for testing purposes" but when I go through that process I'm asked for payment information.
Can anyone point to information on how to set up a Payflow Pro test account?
The answer is surprisingly simple: when you're at the point that it's asking you for your payment information, simply close your tab / window. The account will remain in a 'Test' state and you'll be able to use it for Payflow transaction testing.
(Yes, I'm aware that's hardly an intuitive way of setting up a test account. We're on it.)
