Paypal: suggestions anyone?

[alyanm]

Hi, my client wants to support Paypal as a payment option on our existing mm5 store. Can anybody recommend what they think is the best mm5 paypal module combined with the best Paypal account setup? Of course cheaper transaction fees is very important (I anticipate sales in the neighborhood of thousands of dollars, hundreds of transactions per month) and ease of use both for me and the buyer, and of course reliability and security are always very important factors. The cost of the module itself really doesn't matter much though. Any help would be appreciated, I haven't done anything with Paypal on this scale before (lots of experience at much smaller volumes!). Thanks, Alan

If you're doing hundreds of transactions per month and thousands in sales, going with PayPal Payments Pro instead of traditional PayPal will get you better rates, but probably still not as good as having a traditional merchant account and gateway.

Thanks David, Actually we already have a payment gateway set up, just want to offer Paypal as an option... particularly for overseas customers who sometimes have problems with their credit cards.

The PayPal module by Emporium Plus works well, and there's also an option for subscription payments.

As for the best setup of the PayPal account, I would recommend you only allow direct payments (via PayPal) opposed to echecks and card payments (save for those who are verified).

We have use many times the GOL PayPal Payments Pro module. It takes a little bit of time to set up in both your cart and in the PayPal config areas but Gilligan On-Line gives great support and will walk you through each step.
