The following instructions are part of the procedure 'Draft:PayPal#Enabling_PayPal_payment_methods_at_your_X-Cart_store'. They should be used for all PayPal methods supported by X-Cart except Payflow Pro.

To add and enable a PayPal payment method in X-Cart:

  1. In the Admin area of your X-Cart store, go to the Payment methods page (Settings->Payment methods).
  2. On the Payment methods page, click the Payment gateways tab to open the section where you select payment gateways:

  3. Choose your country of business from the Your country box to ensure that you see only payment gateways available for you country.
  4. From the list in the Payment gateways selector, choose 'Paypal' (You will find this entry under the Payment systems section title):

    Note: If you do not see 'PayPal' in the Payment gateways selector, check the Payment methods tab: PayPal has probably been added there previously.
  5. Click Add. The following screen appears:

    This means that PayPal has been successfully added to the list of your store's payment methods (If you scroll down the list, you will notice one or two new entries for PayPal methods).
  6. Click the Configure link opposite any PayPal entry on the Payment methods page. The following screen appears:


This is X-Cart's PayPal configuration page.

  1. Make sure the PayPal configuration page displays solutions available for your country: select the country in which you do business from the Country selector at the top of the page and click Update.
  2. Choose the PayPal solution you require and adjust its configuration settings. See X-Cart:Adjusting_PayPal_Configuration_Settings_in_X-Cart.
  3. Go back to the Payment methods page, locate the PayPal payment method you have configured and enable it: select the check box located to the left of the payment method name and click Apply changes.
