How Do I Integrate New PayPal Advanced Payments as a Gateway?

[wildewebmarketing]

I recently signed up for PayPal Advanced Payments to use as my WHMCS gateway because it handles payments, security, etc all in one. But it's not listed in the WHMCS gateway options. Will I be able to integrate this? I am not a developer and have no experience creating modules. Could use some help/advice...

Hi, now that PayPal has changed their features, many are signing up for PayPal Payments Advanced rather than website payments pro.

 

I spoke with the PayPal people and they tell me that their new 'Standard' and 'Advanced' levels use a completely different technology for processing online, using a popup window for credit card entry, rather than your own form.

 

Has anyone developed a gateway module for this yet? I'd like to get one, because I, like many others I'm sure, will be switching to the Advanced rather than pro, because it saved $25 per month!

Can you show me docs about it, maybe we can develop a module for you..

Well, these are now the choices PayPal offers: https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/merchant

 

This is the documentation for "partners" on configuring it: https://www.x.com/sites/default/files/paypal_payments_advanced_configuration_for_partners.pdf

 

I'm guessing this will have to be a part of the next generation of whmcs, since the "old" paypal system is going to disappear.

There is no module for it yet. Vote for it in their feature requests section.
