Articles about Paypal

The topic on online payments is a bit difficult to answer without writing a dissertation on payment processing. Each of the terms deserves to be considered as a separate topic. The following, therefore, is not pretended to be an encyclopedic presentation of information of how online payments work for merchants. Nevertheless, it explains the main processes that occur during online payments.

Recently we have added support of PayPal Website Payments Pro (WPP) payment method to Getsocio.

Unlike PayPal's "Express checkout", WPP mode allows to receive card payments directly on your daily-deal site, without sending your buyers to PayPal page.

On the downside, WPP is only available for sellers in USA, UK and Canada. Merchants from all other countries can only use "Express Checkout" to accept payments with PayPal.

From now on when a buyer makes a payment via PayPal Express Checkout, they will see the deal title, item quantity and total price on their PayPal checkout page.
