PayPal Website Payments Standard adds PayPal as a payment method in your checkout. The customer submits their order, and is re-directed to the PayPal site to pay for their order.

When they have paid, they are re-directed back to your store, and your store marks the payment as received.

To enable PayPal, you will need to have a PayPal Business account. If you don't have a PayPal Business account, click here to sign up for a PayPal account, and then return to this page.

Part 1 - Configure your PayPal Account

When you've set up your PayPal account, follow the steps below to configure access to your PayPal account.

  1. Log in to manage your PayPal account
  2. Click on "Profile" under "My Account" in the top menu.
  3. Click on "Shipping Calculations" under "Selling Preferences"
  4. Tick the box that says "Click here to allow transaction-based postage values to override the profile postage settings listed above (if profile settings are enabled)"
  5. Click the "Save" button

Part 2 - Enable PayPal Website Payments Standard in your Spiffy Store

Your PayPal account is now ready to connect to your Spiffy Store.  You now need to follow the steps below to enable PayPal in your store.

To use PayPal without PayPal Express

  1. Log into your Spiffy Store Toolbox
  2. Go to the "Checkout & payment" page in the Preferences section
  3. In the PayPal section at the top, choose "PayPal Website Payments Standard"
  4. Type your PayPal account email into the "Account Email" field, and click the "Activate" button.

To use PayPal Express alongside PayPal Website Payments Standard

  1. Log into your Spiffy Store Toolbox
  2. Go to the "Checkout & payment" page in the Preferences section
  3. In the PayPal section at the top, click the edit link next to "PayPal Website Payments Standard"
  4. Tick the box next to "Enable PayPal Express" and click the "Save" button.

After you've followed the steps above, your Spiffy Store should now be set up to accept payments through PayPal Website Payments Standard. To verify that it's all working, go to your store, add a product to your cart.

The PayPal Express icon is displayed on your cart page. Clicking this button takes you through the steps of paying with PayPal Express. To view the PayPal Website payments Standard process, click the "Checkout" button (not the PayPal button) and proceed through to the last page of the checkout. The PayPal option should appear at the bottom of page 2 of the checkout.
