Paypal Payment Gateway?

I have read in many places (1, 1) that the e-commerace package has a Paypal Payment Gateway. This to me makes me think that it is a gateway to interface with the Paypal payment API. Is this not what the other Payment Gateways do?


Does anyone have examples of using the paypal assets that are provided w/ Matrix?

Yes, you can implement a “Buy Now” button and in 3.26.x other button types such as “Add To Cart”.

Functionality common to other gateway types is available such as reporting and email notification.

There is a "Buy Now" example in Chapter 15 the E-Commerce Manual for 3.24.x releases.

Please note that the PPCrypto code provided by PayPal will need to be manually sourced and referenced within Matrix to get this running.



Clarification: This does not interface with PayPal's premium API (can't remember the name) which I believe is a Web Service. Implementation so far is HTTPS only.
