Are there any clear instructions on how to use Paypal Pro with OpenCart?

I just checked this link on the paypal site and it seems that Paypal does not recognize Opencart as one of the shopping carts that have preintegrated with their Payments Pro:

https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd= ... rts_wp_pro

According to this posting yesterday from Daniel it sounds like something might be available soon.

http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php ... pal#p18771

Any guidance on what I would need to do to integrate Paypal or how long I should wait before this integration might take is appreciated.

i've already finished the paypal pro payment system. it will be in the next release.

Just because opencart is not listred there does not mean it can not have a payments pro gateway.

as for getting it listed i will need to add paypal express aswell.

Hi,

I am also interested in adding the paypal pro payment system and I am looking to integrate the paypal pro API into my site.

Could you let me know when this release will be out and if it will allow me to integrate the Paypal Pro API? Also as I haven't tried this integration before can you guide me as to how exactly it should be done in open cart or is it the same process as installing any other payment option.

thanks... :)

just curious when you anticipate to be the next release? Are you planning on something in the next week or is that unlikely?

I am just debating if I should wait for the Paypal features of the next release or do this on my own.

Why keep new stuff to your self just because of make new release?? Is it not better just upload new payment to forum and people can install it now, not wait weeks or months..? I don't understand the logic in that.

What is the difference between billing systems and PayPal? Billing systems such as Verotel and CCBill are offered seperatly to PayPal on many sites and offer instant credit card payment, but isn't that what PayPal does too? Does PayPal require membership? Is more than one solution neccesary? What are the commisuion rates, monthly charges etc? None of the magitude of web sites I have found answers these questions.

It comes down to commission and fees. Paypal standard is a bit pricey at the per transaction level, but still competitive.. Paypal pro is a bit pricey at the monthly level, but again still competitive.

What are the advantages/disadvantages of using PayPal Pro instead of, or together with the regular PayPal option? I tried having them both enabled but sales appear to default to regular PayPal at the mo.

Thanks.

PP Standard:
Pros:
- Uses familiar paypal site
- Paypal has SSL protection
Cons:
- Customers leave site
- IPN Verification doesn't always work right

PP Pro:
Pros:
- Customers never leave site
- Simple CC form
Cons:
- Must have your own SSL
- Stupid rules about PP Express that make no sense
- Monthly fee is a bit pricey

In Admin > Settings > Server: is this where I enter his SSL Key, only it looks too long to be accepted?
