PayPal Payflow Pro

I see a payment plugin for 'PayPal Pro'... but will this work for their Payflow Pro gateway? So glad PayPal has such a clear naming scheme for their gateways.

Hello,
If you want to use their payflow gateway I think that you'll have to use a different payment method (directly create a payflow payment method which will require some development skills).

I've already developed several custom implementations of the Payflow Pro gateway in the past... Looks like I'm going to get to do so again... In Hikashop plugin form this time! I figure I can use the existing 'Pro' as a template. I'm going to require some kind of recurring CC billing... which Payflow Pro supports... their regular 'Pro' gateway apparently does not.

It may be easier/quicker for me to just use a different gateway, however... Does anybody know of a CC payment gateway that handles recurring billing (storing the CC data in the gateway)?

P.S. It would be GREAT to have a feature that I would call an 'automated scheduled delivery' option in Hikashop. I have a need for my users to create a specific order, save it - and have that order processed and shipped to them every month.

HI,

If you didn't find it yet, we have a developer documentation which explains how to creating payment plugins for HikaShop and other things:
www.hikashop.com/support/support/documen...r-documentation.html

If you're in the USA, Authorize.net also offers that capability (storing CC and recurring). But again, that will require a development since the only recurring payment integration we did is for "PayPal recurring" at the moment.

Your suggestion is interesting. That could be great as another extension which would plug itself to HikaShop in order to add that capability, like we did for HikaSerial or HikaMarket.

Thanks for the info and the link. I'll take a look at the documentation.

I created a custom-built ecommerce system for a previous employer years ago that contained a feature like I suggested... We called it Autoship. Back then the only way to accomplish such a recurring order system was to store the CC number in the local DB and process the order at the scheduled time each month... Then came along came PCI Data Security Standards... The requirements (if you are storing CC numbers) are so burdensome as to be nearly impossible for a small shop to meet. Therefore it is helpful that payment gateways have more recently introduced features that allow a developer to keep the CC data in the gateway... making such a system feasible for lil ol' developers like me with limited time. If you folks build such an add-on for Hikashop - you'll likely have to integrate the payment plugins with one of these such gateways - like Payflow Pro - or Authorize.net.

Yes.

We don't have such plans in the short term as we have other projects already on hands, but if we do, we'll indeed need to have payment plugins to support that capability.

Hi, I am wondering if Hikari has created a PayFlow Pro plugin for HikaShop yet. This thread is from a couple years ago, but I'm hoping that a PayFlow Pro plugin has been developed. We desperately need one!

Thanks!
