PayPal is reasonably easy to add to a site. There are some PDF docs on their site that explain to to incorporate it into a site using Perl and, I think, Cold Fusion. You're certainly able to translate that into WC. I think someone on the list mentioned a few months ago that they have a PP solution in WC. In fact, PP offers several ways to process payments, so that solution may not be the one you'd prefer.The slight inconvenience to customers who don't already have a PP account isn't a big deal, IMHO. In fact, they can enter most of their new account info into a form on your site that is then sent to PP where they enter their private data (CC number, bank account, PP password, etc).For those who already have a PP account, buying is very convenient and secure. PP has some safety checks for the merchant, too. That helps prevent charge backs and fraud.PP was recently bought by eBay, so there may be some changes in the works somewhere down the line.Glenn------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
