Configuring Hosted Checkout Pages

Hosted Pages and Mobile Browsers

If you choose to use PARMLIST, then you can only pass the following 3 HTTP Post parameters

to Payflow with PARMLIST: SECURETOKEN, SECURETOKENID and MODE (optional). If you

try to pass in any other parameter (such as VERIFY=TRUE), then you will receive an error

message.

NOTE: The MODE parameter will be deprecated in the future. If you are using a test secure

token, instead of passing

MODE=TEST, change the Form Action attribute value to the

testing URL:

https://pilot-payflowlink.paypal.com.

If you are using Transparent Redirect with PARMLIST, you must pass the credit card

information (ACCT, EXPDATE and CSC) in the PARMLIST. For more information on

Transparent Redirect, see “Integrating the Secure Token Without the Hosted Checkout Pages:

Transparent Redirect” on page 34.

Hosted Pages and Mobile Browsers

In PayPal Manager you can select one of 3 hosted pages Layout templates: Layouts A and B

(the redirect templates) or Layout C (the embedded template). Layout A is the default Layout.

You can also dynamically select your hosted pages Layout template using the form post

TEMPLATE parameter. This will override your default Layout template set in PayPal Manager.

Please see Using a Secure Token to Pass Hosted Pages Customization Parameters for more

information on passing form post parameters to customize the checkout experience.

Mobile Optimized Checkout Pages

PayPal's hosted checkout pages are mobile optimized for iPhone, iPod and Android devices.

This mobile optimized experience is available for all 3 Layout templates A, B and C. In the

case of Layouts A and B, PayPal will auto-detect if the checkout page is being viewed from a

supported mobile browser and will redirect to the mobile optimized checkout page. For Layout

C, PayPal does not automatically redirect mobile users to a mobile optimized flow. The reason

is that if PayPal automatically showed a mobile optimized embedded template, within a

merchant web page that may not be mobile optimized, this can create unexpected and

undesirable results. To display the mobile checkout page for Layout C, you must detect the
