PayPal Certified Shopping Cart.

Start Accepting Credit Cards Online Today with PayPal, PayPal Express and PayPal Pro.

PayPal is one of the most popular online payment options worldwide, with more then 100 million accounts worldwide, it is the most popular payment method among our customers. X-Cart is certified with PayPal as "shopping cart and storefront solution that works with PayPal".

PayPal integration is included in X-Cart software out of the box. It supports PayPal Standard (IPN), PayPal Express and PayPal PRO (Verisign Payflow Pro). For each of these methods, the mechanism of integration into a shopping cart software is slightly different.

PayPal Standard for X-Cart Gold & X-Cart Pro

PayPal Standard is a simple payment method usually used by novice store owners. It permits accepting payments online from other PayPal users in your ecommerce software. Although this method is quite simple and reliable, during the checkout a customer is redirected to PayPal website, which is disliked by many store owners.

PayPal Express for X-Cart Gold & X-Cart Pro

With Express Checkout, much like with PayPal Standard, a customer is redirected to PayPal website to login. The difference is with this option all the shipping and other customer info can be taken from PayPal, so a customer does not have to login X-Cart-based store.

PayPal Pro and Verisign PayFlow Pro for X-Cart Gold & X-Cart Pro

With PayPal Pro you can accept credit card payments along with the ones from PayPal accounts. This option actually includes 2 payment methods: Express Checkout and Direct Payment. You can use Express Checkout without Direct Payment; however, to use Direct Payment you must use Express Checkout. According to PayPal regulation, you must let a customer choose whether to use Direct Payment or Express Checkout.

With Direct Payment the entire customer data is collected onsite, then processed with PayPal, so a customer stays on your website during all the process. The point is you can not use Direct Payment separately from Express Checkout.

You can sign up for PayPal account. Please contact us should you have more questions.
