Integrate with PayPal Payflow Pro
This
PayPal integration allows your users to enter their credit card
information directly on your sign-up form and other forms such as event
registration forms. They will not be redirected to PayPal for payment.
You
must have a PayPal Payflow Pro account, which incurs a monthly fee, for
this type of integration. The standard or business versions of PayPal
is not sufficient. However, our PayPal Checkout integration will work with the business version of PayPal.
Usually,
the easiest way to tell if you have the PayPal Pro is that you are
paying a monthly fee for their service (usually around $25-60 a month).
