Does zen-cart allow sending Encrypted Payment to Paypal?

I just installed a SSL certificate. I want to send Encrypted Website Payment to Paypal for processing when a customer confirm his order and go to pay us on Paypal. How can I do this? Would zen-cart do this step for me automatically once I enable SSL in my zen-cart?
I doubt this. Because I checked the file paypal.php in zen-cart. The codes miss the great part of sending to Paypal the Encrypted Website Payment. A similar paypal file in OSC has this function.

Re: Does zen-cart allow sending Encrypted Payment to Paypal?

Thanks guys for your quick answers!

I am using PayPal IPN (Website Payments Standard) payment module in Zen Cart. I need to use Paypal's IPN function.

In DrByte's previous post http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?p=598099#post598099 "Thus, if you intend to use the PayPal IPN payment module you'll need to turn off the Encrypted Website Payments option. "?!

I checked Paypal's PDF help file. It is not easy for Paypal to accept Encrypted Website Payment . I have to download Paypal's public certificate and upload my own public certificate to Paypal first. Then encrypting the Website Payment with my own private key and Paypal's public cert each time before sending to Paypal!

I see the paypal file in OSC has the function to encrypt each time using both certificates for me. But I can't find the similar function in Zencart.

How you guys send Encrypted Website Payment to Paypal? I mean using PayPal IPN (Website Payments Standard) payment module, and your own certificate and Paypal's cert.

Zen Cart does not support PayPal's "Encrypted Website Payment" option.

If you want that, you'll have to either write the complex code yourself, or simply use Express Checkout instead.
