PayPal Card Payments

About this Module

We added this payment gateway in WHMCS 8.9 and strongly recommend PayPal Payments and PayPal Card Payments for all new PayPal® merchants.

If you enabled the PayPal Payments modules while using the Beta release of WHMCS 8.9, you must relink the associated PayPal accounts after you upgrade to the Release Candidate version of WHMCS 8.9 or later. If you do not do this, you may experience problems.

PayPal Card Payments augments the functionality of the PayPal Payments module and uses its linked PayPal accounts. When you activate PayPal Payments, WHMCS also automatically activates PayPal Card Payments. This module allows you to display an unbranded option for credit and debit card payments that is visually separate from the PayPal checkout experience.

Adding the PayPal Card Payments Payment Gateway

To set up the PayPal Card Payments payment gateway in WHMCS:

1. Activate and configure the PayPal Payments module.
   This will also activate PayPal Card Payments.
2. Find the PayPal Card Payments module in the list of active gateways at Configuration () > System Settings > Payment Gateways. By default, PayPal Card Payments uses Credit/Debit Card as the Client Area display name.
3. Check Show on Order Form to display this payment option in the Client Area during checkout.
   You cannot enable Show on Order Form for this module without first enabling Show on Order Form for the PayPal Payments module.
4. Click Save Changes.

Using PayPal Card Payments

The PayPal Card Payments module augments the PayPal Payments module and uses its configuration. For more information on module functionality, see PayPal Payments.

Vaulting

In PayPal-supported countries, the PayPal Payments and PayPal Card Payments modules ensure the security of your customers’ stored payment details with merchant-level vaulting through PayPal Vault. When clients pay using PayPal Card Payments, a Save card for faster checkout in future option will display while entering credit card details.

• Selecting this option causes PayPal to attempt to add the card to PayPal Vault.
• This option is not available in the Admin Area.

After PayPal successfully stores a payment method, it will be available for the client when they pay an invoice manually.

If PayPal does not support PayPal Vault for your country or region, you can still use PayPal Card Payments for one-time payments. However, your clients will not be able to store their payment method.

For more information, see Vaulting.

Disputes

You can manage disputes for this module from within WHMCS at Billing > Disputes.

Payment Gateway Balances

You can view your PayPal merchant account balance directly within the WHMCS Admin Area at Billing > Transactions.
