PayPal Website Payments Pro (UK) where to start?

[jelly46]

Hello Zencart world

I have been vetted and allowed to use PayPal Website Payments Pro support on my site.

I've been to this link http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=29. As a front end web developer i thought it would be straight forward.

I seem to be getting mixed up: Click Edit again, and scroll down to the Payflow User/Vendor/Partner/Password fields, and enter your PayPal Manager login details.

Without sounding silly is there any tutorials that are simpler i seem to be a mixed up now.

Assuming you're talking about point 7 under Step 4, if you selected Payflow-UK as the PayPal Mode and clicked Save according to point 6, then when you click Edit in point 7, you'll have new fields to fill in that weren't there before you clicked Save in step 6.


Edit: Correction. The save button actually says "Update" on it. Pardon the difference in wording.

I'm having trouble understanding what you're confused about.

Hello

There are two sets of credentials:

1. API Signature: consists of API Username/Password/Signature. Obtained by logging into PayPal.com, clicking Profile, clicking API Access / Request API Credentials
This is explained in the article you mentioned above, which has been updated slightly to indicate some links that were renamed by PayPal recently.

2. Payflow User/Vendor/Partner/Password credentials. These are supplied by PayPal directly, usually in an email. They are used to login to your PayPal Manager console and also to authorize Website Payments Pro (UK) transactions from your store. Instructions for adding them to your store's configuration are also included in the article you mentioned above.

If you're having trouble obtaining either of these credentials, contact PayPal directly for assistance, since those pieces of information are supplied by PayPal.
