Paypal pro: Credit Card Details requested on storefront checkout

[massimo]

Hello, I'm new in this forum, I'm using Abantecart for 6 months. Hope someone could help me!
v1.2.5 (it was the same on 1.2.4)

Everything is ok with API Paypal Pro test connection, but on storefront after selecting paypal Pro method, in the next page it request me Credit Card Details, no connection to Paypal payment page. I've set location (Italy), and I've tried on different sites. Obviously I have a business account on Paypal.
Thanks for your help!

Hello.

Try other PayPal extensions: PayPal standard or PayPal express
Both available in core.

Hi Massimo,

AbanteCart has functioning Paypal Pro which I am using. It will host payments on your own site and requires appropriate SSL certificate. I.E. fully self hosted payments processed by PayPal Pro

The other form of PaPal Pro is PayPal Pro Hosted which opens a connection to a PayPal hosted payment page like a pop up or embed so to the customer it looks that they are not leaving your site. While you should have your own SSL for customer view, connection is actually secured by PayPal hosting.
AbanteCart does not use this method currently.

Other methods like PayPAl Standard and PayPal Express entirely redirect the customer to PayPal site for payment then return to your site after.

I hope I have explained this well enough and it helps.

Thank you very much!  So now I will prefer Paypal Express...
