PayPal Business Advanced module?

[ksoup]

The reason we would like this module is to accept credit card payments thru paypal rather than another processor.

Looking... Wondering if I can just get away with using paypal payments pro to accept credit cards thru paypal. I was told this business advanced would be what we need, but pp pro looks almost the same ... I wish pp sales were open on the weekend!

Yes, you've always been able to use PayPal Payments Pro to take credit card payments directly on your site. Requires PCI compliance self-certification.
And Express Checkout can also take credit-card payments without requiring a PayPal account.

The Payments Advanced option is somewhat of a hybrid of the two, where the credit card processing shows on your site in an iframe but is hosted at paypal, basically taking the bulk of the PCI stuff onto PayPal's end.

I called Paypal today and they said that Paypal Payments Advanced has been available since April.

DrByte had been the guy that was in the know about Paypal before. I hope we hear from him soon. :)

Ya, PayPal started offering PPA in April.

As far as the plugin goes, the code still needs much polishing. Been debating posting the unfinished code as an "alpha release" for use-at-your-own-risk testing at large. I'm sure there'll be lotsa complaints about that approach, but I guess I'll never be able to please everyone.

I would be more than happy to help test - Any way I can help. Your time is appreciated, Dr Byte!

If there is anything a non-prgrammer can do to help, I would be happy to help as well.

THAT'S what I'm after. I'm not sure how risky it would be running an "alpha-release".... but considering how much of a headache PCI Compliance is- a round of Russian Roulette isn't sounding so bad. lol

Appreciate all your work, DrByte.

Any updates on this project?

[cyberfolli]

has this ever been developed?

I'm working on a friends ZenCart version 1.5.0. She wants to upgrade to PayPal Payment Advanced, which I understand is a glorified version of PayPal Express that should have a credit card payment window, probably PayPals version C, that will open inside of ZenCart to handle the payment. I also understand that a "PayFlow Link" module might work, but can't find that either. Is there such a module that would work with version 1.5.0? Or, does anyone know of a Developer that has such a module for sale?

DrByte,

Any update on this? I would be happy to help with the test. Thanks for your work on this and the many many other projects you have.

I can't determine if anyone has the PayPal Payments Advanced in the works for Zencart v1.5. If anyone has any information as to if and when this will potentially be available in the near future it would help out greatly.
