PayPal Business Advanced module?

[markalpine]

I am using version 1.5 and desperately need this plug in, where can I get it?

It's been a year since the beginning of this thread. Pretty good indicator that this mod is not going to happen. It's too bad, really.

I think it's more of an indicator that there may have been higher priority projects on the good doctor's plate.. (they are working on the v1.6 release of Zen Cart ya know..) Based on his last post it sounds like the module is at an alpha release stage which means it's not quite at a production ready level..

PayPal Advanced Payments is available if you use PayPal Express to checkout.. If you REALLY want to offer this option to your customer's in the interim, you can simply add some explanatory text to your site letting them know this..

How is it possible to use PayPal Express and not use and SSL or nto require your users to have a payapl account when using payments advanced?

I've been over this with paypal and they say no way......

Your post is not on topic with this particular thread.. Please create a new thread and ask your question there..

Sorry I re-read your question and while it's not completely on topic for this thread, the short answer is PayPal is right.. You cannot offer Advanced Payments without an SSL certificate AND you must still offer PayPal Express as a payment option (you must statisfy BOTH requirements).

Therefore you cannot offer Advanced Payments without an SSL certificate.

If you wish to offer PayPal Express without an SSL certificate, then you cannot use Advanced Payments (or PayPal Payments Pro for that matter which has the SAME SSL and Express requirements) This is spelled out pretty clearly on their site when you look at the requirements for the three payment options they offer for businesses..

Yes, exactly - for almost a year!

Glad they're working on v1.6.

However, please don't string people along, and give them an impression that something is going to happen, and then not follow up. Doesn't matter how smart or talented someone is - it's bad business.

And meanwhile...
You have contributed to the project how?
When did you offer your services to assist?
Your knowledge of PayPal is such that you are sure no changes by them have affected the coding of this mod?
Are you just assuming the squeaky wheel will get greased?
</soapbox>

Whoomp there it is! And if I might add any business owner who thinks they MUST have this is certainly free to engage the services of a developer to build this for them.

[markalpine]

OK not trying to be a greasy wheel or anything, but is there any kind of time frame on this being deployed?

There are other platforms that support this feature but of course I wanna stay with what I know, IE: Zencart.

Thanks
