Snarg Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I apologize for taking your time with what seem like a simple question, but I really don't want to screw this up :) I have a fairly fresh install of osCommerce 2.2 RC2 and would like to use my PayPal account to receive payments with either PayPal or regular credit cards. I see in my admin control panel I have the following options: PayPal Website Payments Pro (US) Direct Payments PayPal Express Checkout PayPal Website Payments Standard PayPal Website Payments Pro (UK) Direct Payments PayPal Website Payments Pro (UK) Express Checkout For now, I will only be accepting orders from the US, so that removes the two UK versions from my list however, that leaves three other choices. I have a PayPal Premier account. What module should I use? Is there a contrib available that would be a better choice then the built in modules? I found this contrib but I am not certain what it is it does. Thank you for any help provided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PayPal_JohnF Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 (edited) If you want to accept credit cards directly on your website then you need Website Payments Pro which is a combination of the following two modules: - PayPal Website Payments Pro (US) Direct Payments PayPal Express Checkout If you already have credit card processing through another gateway then i would suggest PayPal Express Checkout module to capture the PayPal Account holders that may browse on your site. If you just want Website Payments standard where all transactions, be it with credit cards or PayPal account holders, are completed on the PayPal.com site then choose PayPal Website Payments Standard module.
