PayPal Payflow Pro Upgrade for eCommerce Websites

7/22/2009 by Jack Burnett

PayPal, the owner of the PayFlow Pro Gateway - a popular credit card payment gateway for eCommerce websites - has announced a new update to their standard software for custom shopping cart applications.

TwinEngines creates manufacturing websites, industrial websites and content managed websites for small businesses.  Our expertise includes the Payflow Pro credit card payment gateway as well as the Authorize.Net gateway. The new PayPal PayFlow Pro Gateway interface is live now, and the old gatway software will be shut down on September 1, 2009.

Our eCommerce website platform is a configurable system, where TwinEngines staff easily change configuration settings and developers extend capabilities for unique eBusiness applications.  Our developers created a patch update for existing eCommerce websites that upgrades the gateway plug-in, and included the new plug-in as part of our baseline eCommerce platform for all future updates.

From PayPal:
"We've added new security features to our Payflow gateway service that will make your payment processing even safer. Because of these new features, you must update the Payflow code that's integrated into your web site. All merchants should update to Payflow Pro Software Development Kit (SDK) version 4.3 or higher, or use our direct HTTPS Interface."

If you are a manufacturer, distributor or an eBusiness and operate a eCommerce website that accepts credit card payments using the Payflow Pro credit card gateway, then you will need to update the gateway connection before September 1, 2009.  After that date, your eCommerce website will no longer be able to process credit card transactions.
