Website Payments Pr (WPP) is an all-in-ne payment slutin that is cmprised f tw cmpnents: Express Checkut (Pay by PayPal) Express Checkut is similar t PayPal standard, in that the custmer leaves yur site t pay with PayPal and des nt have t pay using a credit card (e.g. custmers may pay using the funds that already exist in their PayPal accunts). Using PayPal Website Payments Pr with PrductCart Cpyright Early Impact LLC All Rights Reserved. Page 2 f 10
The difference between Express Checkut and PayPal Payments Standard is that with Express Checkut the custmer by-passes the lgin/registratin prcess that is part f PrductCart. With PayPal Standard, the custmer leaves yur Web stre at the payment step, after registering r lgging in, and after selecting shipping and ther checkut ptins. With Express Checkut, the custmer leaves yur stre at the time f checking ut. This means that custmers can use their PayPal accunt t checkut n different stres, withut having t register with each stre. Express Checkut is available in cnjunctin with Direct Payment, but can be used as a stand alne slutin. This means that yu can activate Express Checkut even if yu are nt using the Direct Payments prtin f Website Payments Pr. This scenari ccurs when yu are already using anther payment system fr taking credit card payments n yur Web site (i.e. anther payment gateway). Express Checkut buttns appear n yur checkut page and yur small shpping cart (if yu use ne in yur stre s graphical interface). See this sectin fr a graphical example. Direct Payment (Pay with credit card) Direct Payment is a Nn-PayPal Branded payment ptin and will appear t yur custmers as a standard credit card payment page, within yur stre. That is: custmer will nt leave yur stre t pay. In PrductCart, yu can simply name this payment ptin Credit Cards (r alike). There is n reference t PayPal n the payment page, and custmers never leave yur stre t be taken t the PayPal Web site. They remain n yur stre fr the entire checkut prcess. Please nte that if yu enable Direct Payment, PayPal Express Checkut will be enabled as well. The tw payment ptins are part f the same payment system. The cmbinatin f these tw payment ptins makes up PayPal Website Payments Pr. Fr mre infrmatin n WPP and/r t sign up, use this link: https://www.paypal.cm/uk/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_registratin-run Website Payments Pr and Website Payments Standard PayPal Website Payments Standard lets custmers shp n yur website and checkut n PayPal.

If yu dn t have a shpping cart, yu can use PayPal s basic shpping cart t allw custmers t purchase prducts frm yu. Since yu are using a sphisticated shpping cart like PrductCart, PayPal s Buy Nw buttns are nt needed and shuld nt be used. Other questins abut Express Checkut The fllwing questins apply t Express Checkut. Since Express Checkut is an alternative checkut prcess that bypasses the default checkut steps that are part f a PrductCart-pwered stre, there are sme features that wrk differently cmpared t a standard checkut. When custmers checkut using PayPal Express Checkut 1. will my stre s shipping ptins be visible t them? Yes. All shipping ptins available in PrductCart will wrk with PayPal Express Checkut. 2. will my Gift Certificates and cupns wrk? Yes. All yur cupns and Gift Certificates will functin nrmally. Currently, the nly limitatin is that PrductCart cannt send yur discunt details t PayPal when discunts are invlved. The PayPal system des nt accept discunted (negative value) line items. S there will be n line item explaining what kind f discunt/cupn was applied. 3. will quantity discunts wrk? Yes, PayPal allws PrductCart t calculate the price. Currently, the nly limitatin is that PrductCart can nt send yur item details t PayPal when Categry Quantity Discunts are invlved. The PayPal system des nt accept discunted (negative value) line items. Prduct Quantity Discunts are applied t the unit price and therefre can be itemized in the PayPal system. 4. hw can I cntact the custmer that placed the rder? When a custmer registers with Express Checkut, PayPal sends limited infrmatin t yur stre fr rder prcessing 1. Using the infrmatin prvided, PrductCart will create a custmer accunt s it can recrd the rder in yur stre database. A randm passwrd will be generated if the custmer pts-ut f creating their wn passwrd. With Express Checkut passwrd selectin cannt be mandatry. Custmers that rdered using Express Checkut will be able t lg int their accunt at yur PrductCart-pwered stre with the passwrd they chse at checkut, r by requesting the randm passwrd via the Passwrd Reminder tl (e.g. they need t lg int their accunt t dwnlad an electrnic prduct purchased n yur stre). 5. Will custmers return t my stre after cmpleting the checkut prcess? Yes. When they use Express Checkut, they end up back n yur stre at the end f the checkut prcess. S all custmers will view yur stre s Order Cmplete page. When custmers pay by credit card (Direct Payment), they never leave yur stre. 1 When custmers checkut using Express Checkut, they select the payment methd that they wish t use after lgging int their Express Checkut accunt n the PayPal Web site. This means that the billing infrmatin is nt available t yur stre. When a custmer recrd is created by PrductCart as the rder is placed, the shipping address is used t fill in the custmer s billing infrmatin. Als nte that PayPal des nt require the custmer t enter a phne number when checking ut. This is an ptin in yur PayPal Settings.

6. will a small prduct image appear inside the PayPal shpping cart? N, PayPal des nt supprt prduct images at this time. 7. will my lg appear n the PayPal Screen? Yes. PayPal will display the lg used n yur invices. NOTE: This feature is nly available if yur stre uses SSL. 8. can I use Express Checkut if I m using anther payment gateway? Yes. Yu can use Express Checkut as an alternative checkut ptin, even if yu are nt using the Direct Payments prtin f Website Payments Pr because yu are already using anther payment ptin fr taking credit card payments n yur Web site (i.e. anther payment gateway). Prcessing PayPal rders in PrductCart Synchrnizatin between PrductCart and PayPal The steps invlved in the rder fulfillment prcess are identical when rders are placed using PayPal as they are when rders are placed using anther payment ptin available in yur PrductCart-pwered stre. Assuming that yu setup PayPal t authrize rders, but nt t charge them autmatically (recmmended 2 ), when an rder is placed using PayPal: The rder status is pending The payment status is authrized. PayPal rders have nt been captured. They have been authrized, and they will be charged by yu after yu review them. This is true unless yu setup yur PayPal accunt t Authrize & Capture, which it is nt recmmended. Orders placed with PayPal appear in PrductCart just like ther rders. After reviewing the rder, yu will need t capture it frm with yur PayPal manager (https://manager.paypal.cm). Then, after verifying the capture was successful, return t PrductCart t prcess yur rder, just like yu d with any ther rder. The rder status will change t prcessed. Yu can ship the rder just like yu d with any ther rder. Hw lng des it take t receive the funds? Depending n hw yu set up yur PayPal preferences, rders will be either Authrized (recmmended) r Authrized & Captured when they are placed. If rders are authrized, yu will need t capture them, which is dne at the time an rder is prcessed. When rders are captured the crrespnding funds shuld immediately becme visible within yur PayPal business accunt. This smetimes takes lnger if the payment methd chsen by the custmer was e-check. If yu have any questins abut funds that are nt appearing in yur PayPal accunt, please cntact PayPal. 2 It is always recmmended that yu d nt charge & prcess rders in real time. Yu can authrize them in real time, but yu shuld charge them at a later time, after yu hare reviewed the rders fr accuracy and legitimacy. In additin, it ften happens that a custmer cntacts yu t have yu edit the rder after it has been placed (e.g. a different shipping ptin is needed).
