Setup
Enabled - Select Yes for the this method to be listed in the Payment Information
section of the checkout. Select No for this method not to be listed.
Title - Enter the name of the payment method as it will appear in the Payment
Information list.
New Order Status - Select the Order Status of all new Orders created using this
payment method from the drop-down. The recommended status is Pending, as this
is intended to apply to Orders which have not had any actions performed on them,
however you can change this to whichever status you prefer.
Payment Action - PayPal Direct is an online payment method. Therefore, the credit
card must be Authorized by the payment gateway when the order is submitted, in
order for it to complete. However, you can choose whether you want to Authorize
Only, or Authorize and Capture the payment simultaneously during the Order
creation. If you choose to Authorize and Capture, an Invoice will automatically be
created for the full quantity of items in the Order. For more information about
Invoices, refer to Chapter 8: Managing Orders.
Credit Card Types - Select the options which will appear in the Credit Card Type
drop-down on the front-end.
payment from applicable countries - Select which customers can use this payment
method. All Allowed Countries means all customers from the default countries list
can use this payment method. If you haven’t already configured the default list, it
can be done by navigating to System > Configuration, clicking the General tab, and
selecting each country you wish to allow from the Allow countries menu. If you
want to further reduce the number of countries from which your customers will be
allowed to use this payment method, select Specific Countries. This means that only
customers whose billing address includes one of the countries listed in the Payment
from Specific countries list below can use this payment method.
payment from Specific countries - This list is inactive unless Specific Countries is
selected from the Payment from applicable countries list above. It basically works as
a filter, so that this payment method will only be listed for those customers whose
billing address is one of these selected countries.
Sort Order - If you are choosing to allow multiple payment methods, this will
determine in what order each method is listed in the front-end.
Account Information - To enable this as a payment method, you’ll need a Website
Payments Pro account. To get one, go to www.paypal.com and click on “Merchant
Services”. It is free to register. You will receive the account information for this
payment method, and it can entered in the PayPal Accounts tab, in the Website
Payments Pro section. PayPal Express also requires and Website Payments Pro
account, and these two methods will share the same account information, so you
probably would not enable both methods at the same time.
