Configuring Payflow Link
IMPORTANT: If you currently use Payflow Link and recently added a Fraud Protection
Services package, then you do not need to reconfigure Payflow Link and can
safely skip this chapter. The AVS and card security code security functions will
now be performed by filters. Follow the instructions in
Chapter 4,
“Configuring the Fraud Protection Services Filters,”
If you subscribe to PayPal’s Buyer Authentication Service, then you must
display the Confirmation page to customers.
If you are using Payflow Link for the first time, then follow the instructions in
this chapter, and then follow the instructions in
Chapter 4, “Configuring the
Fraud Protection Services Filters.”
Once you have registered for a Payflow Link account, your first step is to configure Payflow
Link using the PayPal Manager application. Using PayPal Manager, you specify the
appearance and content of your PayPal-hosted order processing forms. In addition, you have
the option to specify which fields your customers need to fill in, and how transaction data is
passed and posted to scripts on your Web site.
Configuring Payflow Link Settings
To configure Payflow Link, log in to the PayPal Manager at https://manager.paypal.com.
Navigate to Service Settings > Payflow Link and click on the Configuration page. For
information about configuration, click Help on that page.
Table 3.1 contains brief descriptions of the fields that appear on the PayPal Manager Payflow
Link Configuration page:
TABLE 3.1 PayPal Manager Payflow Link Confirmation Page

should appear on the Payflow Link forms, and how data is handled upon completion of a transaction.
