PayPal for Actinic ecommerce

Actinic Catalog, Actinic Business and Actinic Enterprise are fully integrated out of the box with PayPal. Simply select PayPal as a payment option and enter your user ID and password to start taking PayPal payments from your Actinic site.

With over 15 million accounts in the UK and over 150 million worldwide, PayPal is a popular payment method amongst millions of online shoppers and one of the global leaders in online payments.

It’s a fast and secure way for customers to pay online via all major debit and credit cards, online bank transfers and via payments from PayPal account holders. Customers don’t even need a PayPal account to pay with PayPal.

Actinic recommends that every business uses Paypal on their Actinic ecommerce site. This should be used for all payments, by credit or debit card and from a Paypal account, particularly if you don’t have merchant status.

  • PayPal is affordable for businesses of all sizes.
  • PayPal offers chargeback protection on qualifying transactions.
  • PayPal offers different products to suit your business needs and size.
  • PayPal integrates with a number of carts in just a few clicks meaning a seamless and straightforward integration.

Configuring Actinic Catalog or Business to use PayPal or PayPal Pro

Instructions

  1. Choose 'Business Settings' from the Actinic 'Settings' menu.

  2. Select the 'Payment and Security' tab, then click '+' next to Payment Method to add a new payment option.

  3. Select 'PayPal Website Payments' or 'PayPal Website Payments Pro' from the Payment Method drop-down, then click the 'Configure Method' button.

  4. Enter the settings for your PayPal account provided by PayPal during the sign up process. Click 'OK', then 'OK' again.

  5. Update your web site, and PayPal will now be available as a payment option for your customers.

Adding Your Logo to the PayPal Payment Page:

To add your Logo to the PayPal Payment Page, you will need an image 150 x 50 pixels stored on a secure (SSL) server that is accessible via the web. Edit the template called Act_OCCPayPalTemplate.html located in C:\Program Files\Actinic ecommerce\Sites\Site1\CommonOCC and enter the URL of your image in the hidden form field labelled image_url and uncomment the field (follow the instructions in the HTML comment).

Merchant Processing:

Payment and Order Processing: PayPal payments will appear in Actinic as credit card payments regardless of the actual type (eCheck, bank transfer, etc.). eCheck payment confirmations may take several days to process. Until the payment confirmation has been processed, the associated order will be stored on the "Pending Payment Service Provider" tab of the Actinic Order Manager. If an order stays on that tab for a long time, check the PayPal transaction history. The payment may have been rejected or the customer may have abandoned the order before completing payment. Always confirm payment acceptance via your PayPal account before shipping any products.
