X-Cart:Switching to a Different PayPal Solution
If, after configuring X-Cart to work with a certain PayPal solution, you decide to change the PayPal solution being used (for example, if you wish to switch from PayPal Payments Standard to Express Checkout), you can easily do so:
- In your X-Cart store's Admin area, go to the 'Payment methods' page (Settings->Payment methods).
- In the list of your store's payment methods, locate the name of the PayPal payment method you use currently and click the Configure link next to it. This opens X-Cart's PayPal configuration page.Note: If you use PayPal Payments Pro (via Payflow API or PayPal API) or PayPal Payments Advanced, you will find that the list of payment methods on the 'Payment methods' page contains two entries for PayPal. One of them will be your payment option allowing your customers to pay you using a PayPal account via the Express Checkout button (by default, the name of this method is displayed as 'PayPal'); the other one will be your method for processing credit and debit card payments using PayPal (by default, the name of this method is displayed as 'Credit or Debit card'). In this case there will be just one Configure link - displayed next to the 'Credit and Debit card' entry. Use this link to access the PayPal configuration page.
- On the PayPal configuration page, select the PayPal solution that you wish to use instead of the one used currently.
- Configure the selected solution (See Adjusting PayPal Configuration Settings in X-Cart).
- Click the Update button to save the changes. Your PayPal payment method(s) on the 'Payment methods' page will be updated.
