PayPal PayFlow Pro

PayPal PayFlow Pro is a global payment gateway that allows Salesforce B2C Commerce merchants the ability to accept payments in multiple currencies. PayPal PayFlow Pro supports Multi-Capture and SecureStorageEnabled (also referred to as Tokenization by other payment providers).

• Payment transactions can be handled as follows:
  • Authorization transactions: authorizes a valid payment method with a customer's order. The payment is then captured once the order items are fulfilled.
  • Sale transaction: authorizes a valid payment method with a customer's order and automatically captures the funds as a single transaction.
• Tokenization: substitutes sensitive, stored account data with a string of numbers known as a token, can be used for either AUTH or CAPTURE payment transactions. In PayPal PayFlow Pro, the subscription ID takes the place of the sensitive data and typically retains the last four digits of the account number. The remaining numbers are generated using proprietary tokenization algorithms. For example, a shopper can purchase products on a website without having to reenter their account information, because it's stored as a token. The tokenization is set to 'Yes' or 'No' in the PayPal PayFlow Pro External Payment Processors in the Administration module.
