Configuring Hosted Checkout Pages

Silent Posts

Mobile page flow for a credit card payment

Silent Posts

Silent Post ensures that the transaction data is passed back to your website when a transaction

is completed. The Silent Post feature uses the HTML Post method to return data to your server

for both approved and declined trasactions. This occurs even if a customer closes the browser

before returning to your site, or if the PayPal-hosted payment confirmation page is disabled.

Silent Post data is sent to your server at the same time as when a payment confirmation page is

displayed or as soon as a transaction is declined.

This feature is configured through

https://manager.paypal.com:

 Go to Service Settings, then from the Hosted Checkout Pages section select Setup

 On the Setup page, set Use Silent Post to Yes. Then enter the Silent Post URL on your

server.

NOTE: To ensure that transactions proceed only if your script actually receives the data

returned by the Silent Post, you must Force Silent Post Confirmation by checking Void

transaction when my server fails to receive data sent by the silent post.

Force Silent Post Confirmation

The Force Silent Post Confirmation feature ensures that no transactions proceed unless your

Web site receives the Silent Post data. If you enable this feature, Payflow Gateway sends the

Silent Post data and waits for a 200 OK from your server (indicating the server's receipt of the

data). If Payflow Gateway does not receive the success response, then the transaction is voided

and the customer sees a communication error message. In this case, PayPal Manager displays

both a transaction that succeeded and a transaction that was voided. To select this feature, be
