AudienceView Connect

PayPal - Payment Gateway

The PayPal gateway is used for credit card transactions only. If you are configuing PayPal, use the PayPal Native gateway.
 

Information
For those gateways that support multiple types of payments (e.g. Credit or Debit), add a new 'Key' to the Payment Gateways list in the format of PaymentGateway::PaymentType (e.g. PayPal::Credit). For more information, refer to General Configuration - Lists.

To access the PayPal payment gateway, navigate to the Registry application System::Configuration::Payment Gateways node.

Token Validity in Mins The time (in minutes) that is allowed to pass between the online user clicking Buy and Submit. When the user clicks Buy, a token is generated.
