PayPal is one of the world’s leading eWallets for e- and m-Commerce. Around 179 million active members in over 200 countries pay for their online orders with PayPal. Customers in Germany can pay via direct debit, giropay or credit card (American Express, Diners Club, Discover, MasterCard, Visa). Along with the above payment methods, PayPal PLUS offers purchase on account and purchase by instalment. Members log into their PayPal account with their email address and a password during checkout and choose the preferred payment method (direct debit, PayPal credit, credit card and, if applicable purchase on account or by instalment). The amount payable is then immediately credited to their own PayPal account. The usual direct debit periods for transfers or the delay resulting from distribution to collecting services do not apply. This allows real-time payments processing on the Internet.
The 1cs Online Payment System offers the PayPal Express Checkout to shorten the order process: Your customer does not need to enter any address data but rather click on Checkout with PayPal in the shopping cart area, log on and select the invoice- and delivery address retained by PayPal. The 1cs Online Payment System then sends the delivery address as a result parameter back to your shop.
PayPal offers buyers and merchants extensive buyer / vendor protection. Buyers are able to claim money back from PayPal in the event of non-fulfilment of a contract of sale. With address verification and PayPal seller protection PayPal removes the merchant of the risk of payment failures in the case of direct debit payments, German credit card payments and unjustified customer complaints. Vendor protection is always linked to PayPal rules and conditions. PayPal risk management with buyer protection and address verification is provided to you via the 1cs Online Payment System.
PayPal is particularly beneficial for overseas customer acquisition. The 1cs Online Payment System supports all currencies and markets offered by PayPal. In many countries PayPal offers customers typical payment methods for their country. Customers abroad can often use typical payment methods such as prepaid cards in Italy or debit cards in the UK. Integrating PayPal into your shop provides your customers with several payment methods at once.

Use the following URL and parameters to initiate a PayPal payment in the 1cs Online Payment System form:
With this URL the 1cs Online Payment System supports two different PayPal methods: One the one hand you can offer PayPal quite normally as an additional payment method for the conclusion of a sale. Otherwise you can use PayPal Express Checkout Shortcut, which connects the customers from the shopping cart directly to PayPal, where they can then select their delivery and invoicing address. The customer saves having to re-enter address details and you, as the merchant, enjoy PayPal vendor protection.
The 1cs Online Payment System also supports the separation of authorisation and capture for PayPal Express Checkout. You can set parameters via the 1cs Online Payment System to control whether the amount on the customer’s PayPal account should be blocked or captured immediately.
Notice: Please note that a PayPal connection in the shop via i-Frame is not possible due to PayPal-Regulations. Express Checkout always connects the Customer directly to PayPal.
Notice: One of the following conditions must be fulfilled to enable you to benefit from PayPal seller protection. Either the customer uses PayPal Express Checkout and selects a delivery address which it has saved previously with PayPal, which the 1cs Online Payment System transmits to your shop. Or your shop transmits the already known delivery address to PayPal. Seller protection applies only if the goods have been supplied to this specified address. There may be no more than 3 days between the authorisation of the amount in the customer’s PayPal account and capture if you wish to benefit from seller protection. the 1cs Online Payment System therefore supports several alternatives for the processing of PayPal payments: we shall be happy to advise you about the implementation of PayPal.

Result parameters for PayPal reversals
1. In order to process the initial recurring payment use paypal.aspx and add the parameter “RTF=I”. The additional parameter triggers a recurring flag to be recognized by PayPal. If you want to get the „BillingAgreementID“ only with the first request without to show the original amount to the customer, please submit the parameter “txtype=BAID” to the 1cs Online Payment System. If txtype=BAID is submitted, the 1cs Online Payment System sets the value automatically to 0,00.
Please note, that the merchant never may send an amount of 0,00€, because the 1cs Online Payment System cannot process this.
That means the merchant has to specify an amount X >0,00 an the 1cs Online Payment System changes this for PayPal to 0,00.
2. You will receive PayPal`s standard parameters as well as the additional parameter “BillingAgreementID” in First Cash Solution´s response. Please add and save this parameter in your system.
3. In order to process the second/recurring payment, please use the URL https://www.computop-paygate.com/paypalAbo.aspx. In this server-to-server based request, please use the regular parameters as well as the parameter “BillingAgreementID”. The additional parameter triggers the second/recurring payment with reference to the initial recurring payment. This way amount withdrawals are available without the need of a customer login into PayPal.
The following addition will be displayed during payment process within the customer`s PayPal account (example):
“Hereby you authorise –merchant name– for future direct withdrawals from your PayPal account without any action on your part. You can revoke this authorisation at any time within your profile.”
The customer can obtain information about this function within his PayPal account.
If you are initiating payments including txtype=Order or Auth First Cash Solution returns the “BillingAgreementID” for this action already within the notification. The “BillingAgreementID” is not necessary for the subsequent action capture. Only if a new payment is initiated it is necessary as a referral.
The customer can revoke the BillingAgreementID in his PayPal account. The merchant will only be informed about the cancellation if the additional option IPN “instant payment notification” is activated for his account. The activation has to be done in the First Cash Solution as well as PayPal account. Please keep in mind that by activating IPN the merchant receives a notification for each status change of a PayPal payment.
If a customer revokes the BillingAgreementID no further recurring payments are possible. It is also not possible to reactivate a BillingAgreementID.
The processing of PayPal payments by subscription requires an initial transaction to have been processed via the normal interface. Also, the possibility of subscriptions must have been activated previously with both PayPal and First Cash Solution. Therefore, the option “Reference transaction” muss be arranged with First Cash Solution and PayPal. Besides following 3 API Access Level boxes options must be checked in the section “Available permissions” during setup (see section Setting up the API permission above):
