PayPal Business Advanced module?

[Bobo Khloe]

I also have problem with this Paypal Advanced integration. I have contacted Paypal tech support, and he sent me this:

https://developer.paypal.com/webapps.../products/#ppa

Anyone can tell me if this is correct or not? I did not try it because I don't know how to try.

Thanks!

If PayPal says the product exists, then it exists.. Not sure what you are asking here.. Are you asking if PayPal's instructions for what is required to build a module for their product is correct, then the answer is it probably is.. You can verify how up to date the information is by contacting PayPal directly.. Otherwise if your REAL question is whether or not there is an available PayPal Advanced payments module the answer is STILL no..

Thanks for your reply, Diva! Frankly, I'm not a programmer and I don't know much about the Zen Cart program. I'm just a user...

I'm confused about 2 things:

1: Do we really need a module to configure Paypal Advanced? I mean my simple idea would be: if I have registered Paypal Advenced, and I have necessary key (like, token in Paypal Express), then Zen Cart should be able to accept this key somewhere. I just need to configure it into Zen Cart and it should work.... But now it looks like this is not true. Is it?

2: I have contacted Paypay tech support, they give me this instruction, but I don't know how to use it.

My question is: on which page do I need to put these scripts? Where to put?

Thanks!

To connect your website to Payflow, you enter a few lines of HTML text into your store's Web page. In that text, you specify your Payflow account information and the amount and type of transaction.

As a result, a Buy button appears on your Web page (you can specify the text that appears on the button). When a customer clicks the button, their browser displays the PayPal-hosted pages, from which they submit the transaction. Upon closing the Receipt page, the customer is returned to your website.

Follow these steps:

Copy and paste the following text into a text editor. If you are viewing this document online, use the Adobe Acrobat Reader Text tool to select the text and click Ctrl-C to copy and Ctrl-V to paste it into the text editor.

<form method="POST" action="https://payflowlink.paypal.com">

<input type="hidden" name="LOGIN" value="Your LOGIN here">

<input type="hidden" name="PARTNER" value="Your PARTNER here">

<input type="hidden" name="DESCRIPTION" value="Order description here">

<input type="hidden" name="AMOUNT" value="Total transaction AMOUNT here">

<input type="hidden" name="TYPE" value="Transaction TYPE here">

<input type="submit" value="Click Here to Purchase">

</form>

Replace the bold text with actual values for the LOGIN, PARTNER, AMOUNT, and TYPE parameters, as follows:

LOGIN. The login name that you chose for your Payflow account.

PARTNER. The name of your Partner was provided to you by your reseller.

AMOUNT. Total amount of the transaction. The value must be greater than 1.00.

TYPE. A single letter that identifies the type of transaction (S for sale, A for authorization).

Be sure to change only the text in the bold in the example text. Leave the quotation marks (") in place.

Save the file and insert the HTML text into your Web page at the point where Payflow should complete the transaction.

Your next step is to open the Web page and test the button (Click Here to Purchase in this example) to ensure that it opens the PayPal transaction pages and performs the transaction properly.

Let me give you the SIMPLE answer.. YES you need to create a payment module to use the code in PayPal's instructions.

If it was simple to do, someone would have provided the code needed LONG AGO, there would be no talk about a PayPal Advanced payments module, and this thread wouldn't be 12+ pages long..

Just so I clearly understand. There is not a module for Paypal payments advanced correct? If that is correct does anyone know if one will be available in the future?

Thanks

The answer is no. PayPal Payments Advanced (offered since 2012) still cannot be used with Zen Cart.
PayPal Payments Advanced = $5 PayPal Cost per month
PayPal Payments Pro = $30 PayPal Cost per month

With a $300 annual cost saving per PayPal account, I had hoped a Zen Cart developer would have seen this as a potential money making opportunity.

PayPal Advanced module ready?

“As a valued PayPal customer, we want to remind you of important upcoming changes to our products and services.

On June 30th, 2022, we told you that PayPal would be retiring the Fraud Management Filters (FMF) and the Risk Control tool on October 31, 2022.

Our records indicate you are currently using one or both of these tools in connection with your PayPal payment processing. This means that transactions processed through any PayPal checkout using these risk tools will no longer be evaluated by PayPal for fraud after October 31st.

If you are using PayPal Payments Pro and if you want to ensure that these transactions are evaluated for fraud after this date, we recommend that you change your checkout option to another PayPal checkout, such as PayPal's Advanced Checkout or Braintree , and then select a new risk tool for the selected checkout. You can select one of several risk products on either the Advanced Checkout or Braintree.

If you are using Express Checkout, Email Payments or Standard Checkout, PayPal’s Seller Protection program will continue to provide protection for eligible transactions. We also recommend you use the “Block Payments" feature in “Payment Preferences” section of the “Account Settings” to set additional filters for these transactions.”

Thanks,
PayPal

PayPal Advanced module ready?

I was coming here to inquire about the same thing! Hope we hear from the developers soon!

As mentioned in another thread, it would be possible to add PayPal to the Braintree module.

If it's just fraud filters you are missing, I'd recommend checking out Fraudlabs Pro which also has a plugin for Zen Cart.
