NEWBIE: HELP! How to install PAYPAL Web Standard?

ZC 1.38a

Website: www.HugoCruzGallery.com

I apologize if this is a very standard question. But I searched the thread, google and the Tutorials for a Step-by-Step guide that shows one how to install PAYPAL checkout into ZC. unfortunately, other than various specific error reports and threads, i could not find anything that comes close to a step-by step guide.

So far, I have already gone into my ZC Admin and completed the directions detailed for the section PAYPAL IPN - Website Payments Standard.

But that is where I am lost. I assumed my site would then be automatically configured with a visitor friendly checkout system for Paypal. I made a faux test order and it was pretty hard to follow (one would have to really work hard to find the Paypal payment option.

Can someone please send me a link (hopefully it exists) of a step-by-step DIY guide that shows someone what they should do, what pages they should edit and whatever else is necessary AFTER they configure their PAYPAL IPN settings?

Also, how can I make the checkout system COMPLETELY just PAYPAL ... So it is seemless and does not confuse too many people.

Thank you

You have it set up properly, and I went through the checkout process up to actually logging into Paypal.

If you only offer Paypal, remove the other options in admin.

Paypal IPN or Express will take your visitors to Paypal's site. The only way your customers can enter their CC info on your site with Paypal is if you pay for Website Payments Pro. That's a Paypal requirement, and has nothing to do with Zencart.

As far as I'm aware this is the best guide to use:

GREAT! THANK YOU!!

Also, what is the PDT TOKEN about? WHat are the pros and cons of having it and, should your comments be favorable for it, where can I find a guide on how to install it / add it.

Thanks again ... I can't tell you how helpful this forum has been.
