    Default Can Zen-Cart use Paypal API Certificate?

    I'm using Zen Cart 1.3.8a. I recently open a new site using ProStore and they require API certificate from Paypal to set up the Paypal Express Checkout. However, Zen Cart is using just API username, password and signature. and Paypal only provides one of the API info. Is there any way Zen Cart can accept API certificate instead of signature?

    Sorry, no there is not.
    Zen Cart uses the newer and more up-to-date method of communicating with PayPal using their API Signature infrastructure. It does not support the older Certificate method, which is used mostly when someone else is submitting payment transactions on your behalf, outside your control.
