    Paypal checkout question

    Hi folks,

    Excuse me if this is a dumb question; but I don't make a lot of purchases with Paypal, and I don't think I've ever made one of those in a Miva store.

    When a customers buy something in a Miva store, and wants to pay with a credit card, there are two ways of processing it, depending on how the payment module works. The customer may stay in Miva for the entire checkout; or they may be relocated to a page hosted by the payment gateway, where they enter their card number, and are then returned to the store.

    Are both of these options available when customers pay for their purchase with Paypal? Is there any form of Paypal payment that keeps the customer in the store, or do they always have to be redirected to paypal.com at some point?

    Thanks --

    Yes, both are possible since paypal acquired verisign's payment gateway a few years ago.

      Also PayPal Express Checkout In Context stays in store as well. Most PayPal options stay in store these days except PayPal Payments Standard.

        Funny thing; even as I was writing this question, there were a couple of emails from Miva.com in my In box about exactly this topic. Great timing, Rick :^) .

          Hi, if anyone is still reading, I have a follow-up question. When a store uses In-Context Checkout for Paypal, does it still work the same as when they are redirected? -- i.e., log in to their account, and confirm the purchase, but it all happens in an iframe instead of a separate page. Is that correct?

          Thanks again --

            Essentially, yes. Although they also have a One Click "cookie" option that once you validate once in a browser you don't need to again for a period of time.
