PayPal Payment
|
Previous Top Next |
| PayPal payment integration is set in the AShop Administration Panel through Store Configuration > Payment.
|
|
|
| To add PayPal gateway service as a payment option;
|
| 1. | Open the Administration Panel, select Store Configuration, and then Payment.
|
| 2. | Click on the drop-down Payment Gateway box, select PayPal and click Add.
|
| 3. | Enter the Merchant ID for your PayPal account (e-mail address). PayPal Instant Payments require a verified business account. The PayPal e-mail address must also be the primary e-mail address for the PayPal account.
|
| You must use your primary PayPal ID! If the PayPal account ID set within AShop is a verified business account address, but is not the primary e-mail address for the PayPal account, PayPal will accept the payment, but the response codes from PayPal will list the primary address instead of the one that is set in AShop. As part of the product file download security, the order is not recorded and a password is not generated unless the addresses match.
|
| 4. | The SSL URL to logo image is for the logo that is displayed within the PayPal secure payment forms and receipts. If you don't have access to SSL, leave this blank for the PayPal logo to appear at the upper left of the PayPal pages. You may enter the URL to a logo image that is not SSL, but an annoying message will appear between each PayPal page to alert your customer that there are secure and non-secure files being loaded.
|
| 5. | The PayPal Secure IPN setting within AShop is an added security feature that enables information to be passed from AShop to the secure PayPal payment form by SSL. This setting will only work if your server has a program called Curl installed. If Curl is not installed correctly on your server and this feature is checked on, an error notice will be e-mailed to the store administrator each time a PayPal transaction started.
|
|
|
| 6. | Instant Payment Notification (IPN) must be turned on within your PayPal.com account settings for orders to be completed and notices to be sent by AShop after payment is received! Login to your PayPal account and select Profile, then select Instant Payment Notification Preferences. Check the box to activate IPN and enter the URL to your order.php script. For example; http://www.your_domain/ashop/order.php
|
|
|
| Note: AShop resets the payment response code URL for each transaction when the PayPal payment window is first opened. This overrides the URL that is set within the PayPal account settings so that multiple installations of AShop can use the same PayPal account.

| Other notes about PayPal
|
| Starting in AShop Deluxe 2.1, there is a field on the PayPal confirmation page that reads something like "Item Number: 2ashoporderstring4a". What is this and where does it come from?
