Use paypal secure merchant account ID with shopping cart  en

Auteur : Christopher S.
Visité 2397, Followers 1, Partagé 0  

I am setting up the shopping cart included with X5 Pro 14 and noticed there isn't any place to add my PayPal secure merchant account ID, instead I am only seeing the option to use an email address. All my pay buttons use the secure merchant account ID provided by PayPal while building the button code, and I am set on using the secured features this option provides.

Is there a way to use the PayPal secure merchant account ID with the shopping cart and checkout process? If so, how?

Thanks!

That is how I currently get around the issue, but that doesn't work with the shopping cart part of X5 v14 pro., at least from what I found.

Hello Christopher S.,

Are you using the keywords in the custom HTML payment code generated by the program link [PRICE] for the price and [ORDER_NO] for the order number?

Many thanks!

I apologize Claudio, I don't know what you are referring to.

Let's see if I can ask this slightly differently and add a couple of attachments to help clarify my question.

PayPal allows for pay buttons (any of their buttons actually) to be encoded using either an email address (the one used when logging-in to PayPal) or use your assigned merchant account ID.

I use my assigned merchant account ID because it is more secure and keeps my email address out of view from prying eyes when someone views the page source or coding mark-up.

Currently, X5 Professional 14, only allows the use of an email address when setting up the pay process (when using PayPal) for the built-in shopping cart. I want the ability to use my merchant account ID like I currently do for my current PayPal buttons

In the attachment above, I have circled the merchant account ID (blurred out) and I am attaching what part of the shopping cart set-up I am referring to, including what happens if I try using my PayPal merchant account ID instead of an email address.

Hello Christopher,

The standard paypal payment system uses the email to send the payment to the seller and what you refer is another payment option offered by paypal which at the moment is not available in the program. You can set it up by using custom HTML code in the payment options by using following variables generated by the program:

[ORDER_NO]
[PRICE]
[NAME]
[LASTNAME]
[ADDRESS1]
[ADDRESS2]
[CITY]
[STATEREGION]
[COUNTRY]
[ZIPPOSTALCODE]
[EMAIL]
[PHONE]

Many thanks!
