Does WHMCS support PayPal Pro Recurring?

[bizlift]

I'm switching from Authorize.net to PayPal Pro so I can accept AMEX. But, my PayPal Pro account requires CVV code.

 

I looked through forums, and found suggestions to disable that, but it is not an option with this account.

 

I see WHMCS does support PayPal Subscriptions, and I have that enabled.

 

But, I was wondering if I pay the extra $30/month for Recurring Payments, will WHMCS support it and pass the correct info to set it up?

 

Or will WHMCS just treat it like a normal payment gateway?

 

If WHMCS does support PayPal Pro Recurring payments, I don't see any configuration options for it like I do with the regular PayPal Subscriptions. (But I am running an older 4.1 version)

 

Appreciate any help. Thanks!

Just got a prompt reply from WHMCS support (love the rapid response).

 

The answer is that PayPal Pro only works IF cvv code is not required. So I take that to mean that PayPal's Recurring Billing add-on for Pro solution is not supported.

 

WHMCS does support the PayPal Standard Subscriptions, so maybe in future there will be support for PayPal Pro Recurring Billing API?

You can turn of the requirement for a cvv in your paypal risk controls, and let WHMCS do the recurring billing. We switched from a regular merchant account to website payments pro for the 2.2% flat percentage, and it works fine.

Thanks for reply Troy.

 

Unfortunately many accounts don't have that option. PayPal Pro accounts that are international or deemed to have high risk transactions may require CVV on every transaction and can't turn it off.
