PayPal

PayPal is an available COOLSite payment processor for your website.

PayPal Payments Standard
Credentials are set in the COOLSite Admin under Configuration > Payment Processor > Manual.
This method requires your customers to have their own PayPal account.
Customers do not enter credit card info on your website since it's already within the customers PayPal account.
PayPal Standard is considered a "Manual" payment processor within COOLSite because the funds transfer directly through PayPal's website. This means the COOLSite orders will always be marked as payment pending so you can manually login to your PayPal account to verify the funds transferred. In Summary its a transaction from PayPal account 1 to PayPal account 2. The shopping cart Total amount and the customers PayPal email address are passed over to your PayPal Standard account all directly through PayPal's website.

PayPal Payments Advanced & Pro
Credentials are in the COOLSite Admin under Configuration > Payment Processor > Real Time.
Allows you to accept credit cards directly on your website so the whole process stays branded under your company.
PayPal Pro is a "Real Time" payment processor within COOLSite because the funds are securely passed in real time through the PayPal Pro Gateway to your merchant bank and PayPal gives the order a response if the funds/payment was accepted. This way you would immediately receive an email about the COOLSite Order that would say Payment Accepted or Payment Declined so you do not have to login to your merchant bank every time an order takes place.

1) Log into PayPal and click My Account - Profile.

How to place an Authorize.Net Verified Merchant Seal

Info on the Seal can be found at: http://www.authorize.net/solutions/merchantsolutions/onlinemerchantaccount/seal/

Copy and paste the generated seal HTML to the desired area on your website.

We suggest placing this HTML in your COOLSite Admin area under "Configure Layout > Configure Layout", in the Bottom Left Nav region of your template.
Once you are editing this region, click the "Source" button on the editor toolbar and paste the seal HTML into the editor box.
Make the following change in red below.
- Before:
  
  <div class="AuthorizeNetSeal"><script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> var ANS_customer_id="XXXX";</script><script language="javascript" src="//VERIFY.AUTHORIZE.NET/anetseal/seal.js" type="text/javascript"></script><a href="http://www.authorize.net/" id="AuthorizeNetText" target="_blank">Credit Card Processing</a> </div>
- After:
  
  <div class="AuthorizeNetSeal"><script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> var ANS_customer_id="XXXX";</script><script language="javascript" src="http://VERIFY.AUTHORIZE.NET/anetseal/seal.js" type="text/javascript"></script><a href="http://www.authorize.net/" id="AuthorizeNetText" target="_blank">Credit Card Processing</a> </div>
Click the "Apply to Site Now" button below the editor box.
View your website to make sure the seal is showing correctly.

If you have followed the steps above and cannot get the Seal to work, then you can email support@colony1.net to request that a Support Tech look through the code at an hourly labor charge to find the issue.
