Submitting Transaction Data to the Payflow Link Server
Collecting Customer Transaction Data, Option 2
B
Data That You Must Post if You do not use Payflow Link’s Order Form
If you turn off Payflow Link’s Order form by setting ORDERFORM=False, the customer
must enter all transaction data at your Web site. Because the Order form does not collect the
transaction data, you must Post the data listed in
Table B.2 to the Payflow Link server.
You also have the option to turn off Payflow Link’s Confirmation form by setting
SHOWCONFIRM=False. The Confirmation page enables the customer to confirm the
transaction information before submitting the transaction. The page appears after the customer
submits the Order form.
IMPORTANT: Parameter names are case-sensitive and must be typed exactly as shown.
Incorrectly specified parameter values are ignored.
If you plan to collect credit card information on your site and pass it to
PayPal over the Internet, you should use a secure server to ensure secure
transfer of this data.
