CONFIGURATION FOR PAYPAL STANDARD IN NOPCOMMERCE

If you're using this gateway ensure that your primary store currency is supported by Paypal.

To use PDT, you must activate PDT and Auto Return in your PayPal account profile. You must also acquire a PDT identity token, which is used in all PDT communication you send to PayPal. Follow these steps to configure your account for PDT:

  1. Log in to your PayPal account.
  2. Click the Profile subtab.
  3. Click Website Payment Preferences in the Seller Preferences column.
  4. Under Auto Return for Website Payments, click the On radio button.
  5. For the Return URL, enter the URL on your site that will receive the transaction ID posted by PayPal after a customer payment (http://www.yourStore.com/Plugins/PaymentPayPalStandard/PDTHandler).
  6. Under Payment Data Transfer, click the On radio button.
  7. Click Save.
  8. Click Website Payment Preferences in the Seller Preferences column.
  9. Scroll down to the Payment Data Transfer section of the page to view your PDT identity token.

Two ways to be able to receive IPN messages (optional):

The first way is to check 'Enable IPN' below. It will include in the request the url of you IPN handler

The second way is to confugure your paypal account to activate this service; follow these steps: 1. Log in to your Premier or Business account. 2. Click the Profile subtab. 3. Click Instant Payment Notification in the Selling Preferences column. 4. Click the 'Edit IPN Settings' button to update your settings. 5. Select 'Receive IPN messages' (Enabled) and enter the URL of your IPN handler (http://www.yourStore.com/Plugins/PaymentPayPalStandard/IPNHandler). 6. Click Save, and you should get a message that you have successfully activated IPN.

NOTES

  • Your PDT Token is not the same as your paypal signature.
  • To use paypal standard you need to use your PDT Identity Token.
  • The PDT Token is 59 characters long.
