I was hoping to add an additional form of payment during checkout, PayPal credit. I already have PayPal as a gateway selection but was wondering about adding support for PayPal Credit. There isn't a direct PayPal Credit gateway available, at least not by that name. If I had to guess, I would assume clients who choose PayPal from within the checkout page could select their PayPal Credit as a payment option after logging into their PayPal account, but I'm not sure if this is the case. Can anyone verify this? If this were the case, I wouldn't need to do anything more. If not, adding PayPal Credit would be cool. PayPal has an article located here that details how to add PayPal credit to ecommerce platforms without a direct API for this functionality. The confusing part is, it goes on to say: ...and PayPal Express Checkout is listed as an available gateway within the WHMCS admin panel, but when I activate this gateway and check "show on order form", it is not added to the list of other choose-able gateways. Not sure what's going on there.

Thanks for the reply. The feeds will work just fine for domain pricing. However, now I'm wondering how to pull product pricing - the feeds won't work with what I'd be trying to accomplish. I think I'll need to pull the prices from the DB instead so I can manipulate exactly what is shown on the page. For example, I'd like to show the monthly price for a triennial plan for a specific PID so I'd need to do some calculation here, however I'd need to original raw value. Also, the Product Pricing feed ironically includes currency info despite their being a separate URL parameter to display those (currency=2). I tried doing a search but couldn't find any examples of database query hooks. Can you link me to a basic example hook that queries the database? I can edit it to suit my needs.

Good day all, I've familiarized myself a bit with the Smarty template language, and I see that many variables are only available depending on what page is being viewed. I've used {debug} within homepage.tpl but of course, this template does not include variables used within any product pricing. I'm trying to display the latest prices, particularly current domain prices, on the main page (homepage.tpl). Instead of hard-coding these prices, I'd like to make the dynamic so that if I change the price within the admin panel, the price is updated within the template. So, my question is, how can I pull current domain prices from the database to display outside of the product page (in this case, homepage.tpl)? Any help is appreciated! Thanks folks!

Thanks for the replies! You have both cleared up my confusion! Thanks again folks!

Hello all, I'm new to WHMCS and had a couple questions. I'm confused as to how the checkout process works and how it relates to MarketConnect and adding funds. Help me understand the entire process of how it works. So I am under the assumption that we (the company using WHMCS) has to pay each supplier (i.e. Sitelock, weebly, GeoTrust) to receive their products or services, am I correct? So when the user checks out - the money they spend doesn't automatically go to the supplier? I assume we, the company, are responsible for "passing" along this fee, yes? Does the product get activated instantly or must an Admin allocate the necessary funds to the supplier prior to activation? I'm wondering how this is all tied into the "deposit funds" area within MarketConnect - what is this used for? Sorry for the silly questions but the tutorials don't really explain the relevance or importance of adding funds to my account. I assume it's a necessary step in the selling process, as it's listed as a "to-do" right before making your first sale.
