PayPal Website Payments Pro support for the UK

[distanceDemon]

I was in the process of signing up for this when I discovered that I had to commit to having Express Checkout on my website as part of the sign up process. Looking at the 1.3.7 documentation this support is not there for the UK yet.

So two questions

1 When is this planned for?
2 As a new user I might download 1.3.7 from the website thinking that this version will work in the UK. It sounds as if the 1.3.7 version is "not for the UK, if you want to use PayPal" - is this correct? If so, might be a good idea to make that clear on the download page. Can't imagine their systems are that different though. Something to do with the PayPal integration certification?

thanks

There is no restriction on allowing use of Express Checkout from any geographic region. If you have a Business or Premier PayPal account, you can offer Express Checkout.


The only offerings not available for UK merchants would be the "Website Payments Pro" service, at the present time.

Thanks for the reply ...

Seems that this is a great example of confusion marketing:
"That's right, at the moment Zen Cart has not integrated PayPal Pro to
it's package. " is a quote from an email from a PayPal support person received yesterday.

Now I know that Zen Cart supports PayPal and you do too ... so does the rest of the world - maybe PayPal too?

I'll put upgrading to 1.3.7 back onto the to-do list.
