Integrating TeleCheck
Transactions
In addition to accepting credit cards, your Web site can accept TeleCheck electronic checks
using Payflow Link. This chapter describes how to implement TeleCheck payments.
NOTE: Be sure to read Appendix B, “Submitting Transaction Data to the Payflow Link
Server,” for information on more advanced implementations.
NOTE: If you did not indicate that you want to accept checks during the registration process
for Payflow Link, you must contact PayPal customer service to enable this function.
For more information on TeleCheck, see the TeleCheck Web site at
http://www.telecheck.com.
Integrating Check Processing
IMPORTANT: Payflow Link cannot void TeleCheck transactions.
To integrate check processing with Payflow Link, you use the same HTML code that you use
for credit cards, as described in
Chapter 3, “Integrating Your Web Site with Payflow Link
(Basic Integration).” However for check processing, the TYPE value must always be S, as
shown in this example code:
<form method="POST" action="https://payflowlink.paypal.com">
<input type="hidden" name="LOGIN" value="AcmeTrampolines">
<input type="hidden" name="PARTNER" value="Reseller_name">
<input type="hidden" name="AMOUNT" value="42.00">
<input type="hidden" name="TYPE" value="S">
<input type="submit" value="Click here to Purchase">
</form>
