Moving from Website Payments

Standard to

PayPal Pro

If you are moving from Website Payment Standard to PayPal Pro, you must make the

following changes:

1. In the FORM tag, change the cmd value in the action attribute

from:

to:

<form

action="https://securepayments.paypal.com/acquiringweb?cmd=_hosted-

payment" method="post"><input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_hosted-

payment">

2. Change HTML variable amount to subtotal.

N OTE: Website Payment Standard has separate values for amount and quantity,

whereas PayPal Pro uses subtotal only. Ensure that the subtotal includes the

amount you want to charge the buyer, taking into account any applicable discount

and the quantity of items.

3. If you have already customised your checkout flow, such as color and background, you will

need to redo those settings for PayPal Pro. For more information about customising the

look and feel of your payment page, refer to Chapter 3, “Customising Your PayPal

Payment Page.
