Payflow Link

Post by jhonrath » Thu Mar 20, 2008 9:38 am

I am wondering if Able Commerce 7 allows us to use PayPal Link.

PayPal Link allows us to ofload both collecting AND storing of CC information, and I know able uses SOME paypal services, but not sure about LINK.

Any info would help!

Thanks

I am not sure exactly which PayPal service you mean, so let me tell you what you can do.

1) create a payment method called "PayPal" using the PayPal type

2) Go to payment gateways, and configure the PayPal Gateway. Provide

3) your paypal account (email address). Note the instructions for setting the IPN URL and go configure this on your paypal account.

Now at checkout, customers will be given a PayPal payment option. They can select this to complete the checkout. Once the receipt page appears, a PayPal "Pay Now" button will appear. The customer can then complete the payment on the PayPal site. IPN will communicate with AbleCommerce to let your store know when payment is received.

Here is the paypal product called Paypal Payflow Link

It seems to be part of the 'payflow gateway' family, and should be similar to payflow Pro, except all CC entry is done completely out of the website, and on the paypal site.

There are a few things I need to find out, such as if this product supports reference transactions, and I need to get paypal on the line for that, but also I'm in need of knowing if Able supports this solution.

Thanks!

No, we do not have support for Payflow Link. Similar functionality is available through PayPal, which I described above.
