Configuring Buyer Authentication
To enable Buyer Authentication processing on your site, you will need to construct two
transaction requests (messages) and construct a frameset. You can accomplish the tasks in a
few hours.
In the standard Payflow Pro implementation, when the customer submits a purchase request,
your website sends a single Sale transaction request with all purchase details (message with
transaction type S) to the server. With Buyer Authentication, you must submit two additional
transaction requests (types E— Verify Enrollment and Z—validate PARES response) before
the Sale.
Follow these steps:
1. Log in to PayPal Manager at
https://manager.paypal.com/
2. Click Service Settings > Fraud Protection > Buyer Authentication. The Buyer
Authentication Setup page appears.
3. Enter Registration information (complete all fields for both MasterCard and Visa).
Select your Acquirer (Acquirer Support) for MasterCard and Visa and click Activate to
activate the Acquirer you selected.
Enter your Business Name.
Enter the fully qualified URL (be sure to include http:// or https://) of your business.
Select your Country Code from the drop-down menu.
4. Click Submit. A gray notification box appears towards the top of the page confirming the
changes. If there are any errors, a yellow box appears towards the top of the page stating
the problem.
5. On the main PayPal Manager page click the Download link.
6. Read chapters 5 through 7 and Appendix D of this document
7. Download the Payflow SDK (Software Developers Kit) appropriate for your software
environment.

Payflow Pro Developers Guide as you need.
