Today I set up PayPal Express Checkout and PayPal Website Payments Pro - Direct Payments (I think this is what I was supposed to do to enable both PayPal and payments directly from credit card?)

I got my API Signature etc and enabled both modules.

PEC looks like this:

Quote

Enable PayPal Express Checkout
True

Seller Account
my@paypalemail.ad

API Username
XXXXXXX

API Password
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

API Signature

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Transaction Server
Live

Transaction Method
Sale

PayPal Account Optional
False

PayPal Instant Update
True

PayPal Checkout Image
Static

Debug E-Mail Address
orders@ipublishpress.com

Payment Zone
--none--

Set Order Status
default

PayPal Transactions Order Status Level
PayPal [Transactions]

Sort order of display.
0

cURL Program Location
/usr/bin/curl


The PayPal Website Payments Pro - Direct Payments module looks like this:

Quote

Enable PayPal Direct
True

API Username

XXXXXXXXXX

API Password
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

API Signature
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Transaction Server
Live

Transaction Method
Sale

Card Acceptance Page
Confirmation

Payment Zone
--none--

Set Order Status
default

Sort order of display.
0

cURL Program Location
/usr/bin/curl


The express checkout (i.e. the radio button that says PayPal or the official "Pay with Paypal button) seems to work with only one glitch: I need to have the shopping cart automatically confirm payment so purchasers can immediately download purchased files.

However, the option to "Pay With Credit Card" diverts me back to the Checkout Page once I put in CC info and click submit.

I ran the API Credentials Test and was successful.

What am I doing wrong? Can anyone help me?

@MichelleDW

1) Download and install Super Download Storeto better control your virtual downloads

2) Set your return URL in the PayPal profile area to www.yourdomainnamehere.com/checkout_process.php

3) Set the Default Status for your payment methods in the admin area under Modules>>payment to Download (or anything above status level 11)

Thanks for this suggestion. I have this installed already and it's working great.

Okay. Thanks for this one--it was set to a page on the site's sister site on another domain!

I'm not sure what you mean. Also, I have both physical and digital products in my store. Will setting the default to Download be a problem?

I suggest using a different word then, such as Transaction Complete. (something that will conclude the transaction for both types of products)  However, the download status must still be above 11 to function when it is a virtual product.

I don't know what you mean by setting download status to 11. Where do I do that? And where would I use Transaction Complete?

Oh, and I just tried to do a checkout again with a credit card and when I hit "Confirm Order" on the Checkout Confirmation page, I get sent back to the "What's in My Cart" page and the URL says:

http://www.mydomain.com/shop/shopping_cart.php?error_message=This%20transaction%20cannot%20be%20processed%20due%20to%20an%20invalid%20merchant%20configuration.
