AShop V Betriebsanweisung

An application through paypal.com is required and fees must be paid before Website Payments Pro or
Express Checkout will work in the shopping cart. To use the Payment Pro options you will need a
certificate file, a Merchant ID, and a password.

Login to your PayPal account and go to the Website Payments Pro section.

A.

Login to your PayPal Pro enabled PayPal account and click Profile.

B.

Click "Request API credentials" under the section "Account Information".

C.

Click "Set up PayPal API credentials and permissions" under the section "Option 1 - PayPal API".

D.

Click "Request API credentials" (or "View API credentials" if you have done this before) in the box
"Option 2".

E.

Select "Request API certificate" and click "Agree and Submit". The API Username on the following
page should be entered into the box labeled "Merchant ID" in your AShop payment option and the
API Password should be entered in the box labeled "Security Secret".

F.

Click "Download Certificate" and save the file named "cert_key_pem.txt" somewhere on your hard
drive.

G.

Upload the certificate file to the directory admin/paypal where you installed AShop V on your
website.

PayPal's Website Payments Pro SDK (Software Development Kit) must be installed on your server. This
can be done at domain level or the SDK software may be installed centrally on the server, which reduces
setup time and disk space usage.

IMPORTANT: If your domain is hosted with a service where PayPal SDK software is installed
centrally on the server (for example the SDK software is in the PEAR repository), skip this step.
Installing the SDK scripts in the admin/paypal directory when the SDK is already installed
centrally will break the PayPal Pro payment options.

On most Unix/Linux servers you should only need to upload the separate SDK files that we distribute to
the admin/paypal subdirectory in the directory where you installed AShop V.

* On some servers you might need to ask your hosting provider to activate PEAR (a PHP code
repository) and possibly also install the PayPal SDK in PEAR. The SDK and installation instructions are
available at: http://www.paypal.com/sdk

To reduce bandwidth usage, the SDK files are not distributed with the shopping cart program installation
or update packages. The SDK files can be downloaded from 

You will need to first download these files and upload them to your server in the "admin" directory where
AShop is installed (i.e. yourdomain.com/ashop/admin or yourdomain.com/admin). 

The PayPal Pro package will have all the necessary files in a folder named "paypal", update the entire
folder into the admin directory.
