Settings - PayPal

This page describes settings related to the PayPal payment gateway. The PayPal settings can be configured in the Settings application, within the E-commerce -> Payment gateways -> PayPal category. These settings are not available in the Store configuration or Multistore configuration application.

General
Cancel return URL	Specifies the URL to which the buyer’s browser is redirected if payment on the PayPal confirmation page is cancelled. We recommend creating a Payment cancelled page on your website and using its URL. Important: The return URL values must be set to allow PayPal payments.
Return URL	Specifies a URL to which the buyer’s browser is redirected after completing payment on the PayPal confirmation page. We recommend creating a Thank you page on your website and using its URL. Important: The return URL values must be set to allow PayPal payments. Additionally, the specified page must contain the PayPal payment execution web part, which processes the payment URL parameters provided by PayPal and completes transactions.
Transaction type	Sets the type of transactions used by the PayPal gateway during payment: Direct Payment – successful transactions are marked for immediate funds transfer (capture). Authorization with Delayed Capture – only authorization occurs during the initial payment (places a hold on the cardholder’s available fund limit). Capturing of funds needs to be done manually at a later time by editing orders. Delayed capture transactions are suitable for stores where products are physically shipped some time after orders are placed.

Client secret	The secret from the API credentials of your PayPal app.
Account type	Sets the type of the PayPal account associated with the entered API credentials: Sandbox – account for testing transactions. Live – account for real payments on production websites.
