This might help you (All relative questions have been posted) How does Payment Data Transfer work? URL: PayPal Token When Payment Data Transfer is turned on, PayPal will provide you with an identify token that is uniquely associated with your account. You will need to send this token, as well as the transaction token, back to PayPal in order to obtain the payment details associated with the transaction. Based on the CGI script that you write for the page associated with the Return URL, you may dynamically post transaction details and confirmation to your customer that the payment has been completed. To use Payment Data Transfer, you must be able to support this notification system. How do I purchase and activate Payflow Gateway? URL: Payflow Gateway You can purchase Payflow Gateway with a token or credit card. If you receive a token from our sales team, follow the instructions provided in the email. How do I enable Payment Data Transfer? URL: Payment Data Transfer Payment Data Transfer can be enabled from your Profile. Here's How: 1. Log in to your PayPal account. 2. Click the Profile subtab. 3. Click the Website Payment Preferences link in the Selling Preferences column on the right. The Website Payment Preferences page opens. 4. Click the Payment Data Transfer On radio button. 5. Click Save. 6. A confirmation message will appear at the top of the page indicating that you have successfully enabled Payment Data Transfer. Your identity token will appear within that message, as well as below the Payment Data Transfer On/Off radio buttons. How does the PayPal Security Key work? URL: PP Security Key The PayPal Security Key creates an account access code by using a complex algorithm that's unique to your key. When you enter that code after you log in with your user ID and password, our secure servers can verify your identity more securely. This helps prevent unintended or unauthorized users from logging in to your PayPal account. Note: The token battery should last up to three years. What is the difference between Payment Data Transfer (PDT) and Instant Payment Notification (IPN)? URL: IPN PDT's primary function is to display payment transaction details to buyers when they are redirected back to your site upon payment completion; however, there are cases where you will not receive notification of all transactions, such as with pending transactions, refunds, reversals, or if you have enabled the PayPal Account Optional feature. For these reasons, or if you are using this data to fulfill orders, PayPal strongly recommends that you also enable Instant Payment Notification (IPN). Both IPN and PDT send back the same data; however, there are several important differences. PDT: * Requires Auto Return to be enabled. * At the end of the Auto Return flow, PayPal performs a GET with the txn token. * Your script must POST back the txn token, along with the identity token, with cmd=notify-synch. * PayPal will POST back SUCCESS/FAIL and the data. IPN: * Does not require Auto Return to be enabled. * At the end of the website payment flow, PayPal POSTs the IPN data. * You validate the data from PayPal by POSTing the data back to PayPal with cmd=_notify-validate. * PayPal POSTs back just VERIFIED or INVALID. For more information, please refer to the PayPal Instant Payment Notification manual, which is available on the PayPal website.
