I've clicked nearly every link on my PayPal business account and can't find the PDT IdentityToken needed to set up the PayPal standard setup for NOP Commerce 2.50. The directions on the admin side for the plugin appear to be incorrect. 1. Log in to your PayPal account. 2. Click the Profile subtab. 3. Click Website Payment Preferences in the Seller Preferences column. (there is no "Website Payment Preferences" that I can find here) 4. Under Auto Return for Website Payments, click the On radio button. (found this) 5. For the Return URL, enter the URL on your site that will receive the transaction ID posted by PayPal after a customer payment (http://www.yourStore.com/Plugins/PaymentPayPalStandard/PDTHandler). 6. Under Payment Data Transfer, click the On radio button. 7. Click Save. 8. Click Website Payment Preferences in the Seller Preferences column. (WHERE?) 9. Scroll down to the Payment Data Transfer section of the page to view your PDT identity token. (WHERE?)
PayPal must have changed this since the instructions were written - no PDT to be found (PayPal's help explains what it is, but there's no explanation of WHERE I can find!)
I click the Profile tab. Here are the options (on the left):
My business info My money My settings My selling tools
Still have no idea where to look. There is no link anywhere called "My Selling Preferences"
Is there something special I need to do? The account is verified in every sense and is a business account (does it need to be a personal account perhaps?)
This is madness - there should be somebody out there that has the same PayPal screen as I do (and the other 3,000 people who Google'd "where the @#$@!! is the PDT token in PayPal".
I set up with a different merchant account - PayPal's set up is an exercise in madness (not to mention 3 times more expensive), so I'm just cancelling the account.
I've worked on other websites for other clients and found (from their stat's logs) that only about 1 out of 50 customers actually used PayPal, so I don't see the point.
Maybe I'll lose 2% of my sales, but, with razor thin profit margins, PayPal service charges on sales will just munch any profit, IMO.
I was looking for the PDT token too, but after looking everywhere for it no avail. UNTIL, I saved my changes in the "Website Preferences". This is what I did(I have a business account so I'm guessing for the other kinds of accounts):
1. Log into your Paypal account
2. Under the "My Account" tab, click on "Profile"
3. Under "Selling Online" look for "Website Preferences" and click "Update"
4. Scroll down and you must turn ON both the "Auto Return" and "Payment Data Transfer"
5. Input a return URL and scroll all the way to the bottom of the page
6. This is the most important part. Once you scroll down, click the "SAVE button.
7. Once you save, you will obtain your PayPal® PDT Identity Token.
