PayPal Payflow Pro (formerly Verisign)

Overview

Minimum Requirements: Order Manager Version 5.503

 

If you use Payflow Pro to process credit card transactions, the Order Manager can interface directly with your Payflow Pro account. Payments for orders that are pre-authorized on your Website can be captured automatically when you approve those orders in the Order Manager. The "virtual credit card terminal" at the View Orders screen allows you to process new charges, credits, etc. without re-typing the customer’s credit card information.

 

Note: The Payflow Pro interface requires an open connection to the Internet, such as a DSL or ISDN line or a cable modem. It is not intended for use with dial-up Internet accounts, although it may work if the dial-up connection is always opened before the Order Manager attempts to send data to Payflow Pro.

  1. Check the settings of the main and/or cart-based system parameter, WebTransactionType to make sure it agrees with your workflow. The choices are Pre-Authorize or Sale.
