Add / Modify a PayPal Standard Checkout Gateway

We provide a secure form-based setup with Paypal, such that integrating a PayPal account with our system will take you only few minutes. You do not have to write ANY Code, and simply have to fill in a form specifying your preferences and Account details.

When your Customer/Sub-Reseller decides to pay you through this Payment Gateway, we redirect them to the PayPal website through a secure connection and upon completion of the transaction, they are redirected to their OrderBox Control Panel.

Before you Start

You will need to verify/perform the following before integrating the PayPal Standard Checkout Payment Gateway with your Reseller account:

  • Verify that you have a Business or Premier PayPal account only. You can not integrate a Personal PayPal account with our System.
     
  • Using PayPal Standard Checkout Gateway, you would be able to accept funds from only 55 countries. The complete list of these countries is available at http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_display-approved-signup-countries-outside.
     
  • Set the Language Encoding in your PayPal account to UTF-8. This can be accomplished by clicking on Profile -> Selling Preferences -> Language Encoding -> More Options and there select UTF-8 from the Encoding drop-down menu and Save your changes.
     
    IMPORTANT

    If you do not specify your Language Encoding as UTF-8, then our system would not be able to receive conformation from PayPal's server if a transaction done by your Customer/Sub-Reseller was successful or not and you would have to manually determine the transaction's status.

Adding the PayPal Standard Checkout Gateway in your Reseller account

1. Login into your Reseller Control Panel from http://blwebs.myorderbox.com/reseller.

2. Click on the Settings -> Finance & Billing -> Payment Gateway -> List / Add.

3. Adding a PayPal PG - Click on the Add Payment Gateway button and then on the Add a PayPal Standard Checkout Gateway link.

4. Enter the following Details and save your changes by clicking on the Submit button -

  • Gateway Name: This Gateway Name would be shown to your Customers/Sub-Resellers, when they are about to make Payment. You can use something like "Credit Card Payment" or "Visa/Master Card," etc..
     
  • PayPal Username: Here mention the Primary PayPal Username [E-mail Address] you have set within your PayPal Business or Premier account's Profile.
     
  • Currency: PayPal allows you to charge your Customers/Sub-Resellers in 16 different Currencies - US Dollar (USD), United Kingdom Pound (GBP), Euro (EUR), Canadian Dollar (CAD), Japanese Yen (JPY), Australian Dollar (AUD), Swiss Franc (CHF), Czech Koruna (CZK), Danish Krone (DKK), Hong Kong Dollar (HKD), Hungarian Forint (HUF), Norwegian Kroner (NOK), New Zealand Dollar (NZD), Polish Zloty (PLN), Swedish Krona (SEK) and Singapore Dollar (SGD). Select the Currency from the drop-down menu.
     
    IMPORTANT

    The Currency selected here should match the Currency that you have set within your PayPal account.

     
  • Currency Exchange Rate: If the Currency you selected in the previous option varies from your Selling Currency, we will have to convert the Invoice Value to the PayPal Currency, BEFORE we send your Customer/Sub-Reseller to PayPal. For this purpose the system needs a exchange rate between the two.

    You may choose to maintain this exchange rate yourselves or let us maintain it for you. We download forex rates on a daily basis from a recognized source and update exchange rates for you. If however you wish to update the rates yourselves then you may do so by selecting the I would like to Maintain the currency exchange rate myself checkbox AND entering your own conversion rates.
     
  • Payment Gateway Access Level for Customers and Sub-Resellers: Reference: Payment Gateway Transaction types and Access Levels for your Customers and Sub-Resellers >>
     
  • Deciding whether a Sub-Reseller and Customer is Credited with the Gross Amount or Net: PayPal deducts a fee per transaction. There are two types of Transactions that can pass through your PayPal integration - Invoice/Debit Note Payment, and Add Funds. Reference: Payment Gateway Transaction types and Access Levels for your Customers and Sub-Resellers >>

    In case of an Add Funds Transaction, you have the option of crediting your Customers/Sub-Resellers with the NET Amount that PayPal credits you with, or choose to credit them with the gross funds and bear the charges yourselves.
     
  • Manually Review and Approve any Unverified PayPal Transaction: PayPal (refer: https://www.paypal.com) has 2 types of Members - Verified and UnVerified. If you wish to manually verify all transactions which originate from Unverified PayPal Members, you would have to select this check box. If this Box is checked, then all PayPal transactions that originate from unverified PayPal members will be kept PENDING for Review, and you will have to manually approve or cancel them, by going to Customers -> Billing -> Payment Gateway Transactions or Sub-Resellers -> Billing -> Payment Gateway Transactions from your Reseller Control Panel.
     
  • Send me a Reminder if a transaction is pending for more than x days: In case you have not yet accepted a payment sent to you via the PayPal Payment Gateway, you can get e-mail reminders sent across to you from our system, after every x number of days, until you either Approve or Decline these payments.

  • Display Position: If you plan on adding Multiple Gateways you can select the position in which you wish to display this Gateway on your Payment Page.
